This is the Independent, which has a tradition of being slightly bonkers. Although it's hardly a surprise if it's true.

It is truly ironic isn't it? Offending many of the people it was intended though...Speaking of Erith:

The Simon Wiesenthal Center is behind the project. It's hardly surprising if they are doing something that sounds great in theory, but completely bonkers in the local context.

I wonder, who'd build a tolerance theme park on the graves of Jesus' or Moses' friends?Ikrema Sabri, the Mufti of Jerusalem, demanded a halt to the excavations and said the Muslim religious authorities had not been consulted on the dig. Saying that the cemetery was in use for 15 centuries and that friends of the Prophet Mohamed were buried there, the Mufti declared: "There should be a complete cessation of work on the cemetery because it is sacred for Muslims."Comment

One must merely breath to provoke many in the muslim world these days.Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul TighComment

'Could' be lifted... Do it mean it was? If so by whom? Certainly not someone not from the Muslim faith...Originally posted by notyoueither
It's a head scratcher, but...
[q]While parties to the work are resting part of their case on what they say was an 1894 ruling by the then Sharia court that the sanctity of a cemetery could be lifted, Mr Sabri said that ruling meant that only a Muslim could make such a decision.
Fairness in bold?Osnat Goaz, a spokeswoman for the Israel Antiquities Authority which is carrying out the excavations, said it was common in Jerusalem to build on cemeteries. Adding that in such cases the bones were reburied, she said: "Israel is more crowded with ancient artefacts than any other country in the world. If we didn't build on former cemeteries, we would never build."
Common for Israelis to build on Muslim cemeteries? How many Jewish cemeteries have suffered this same threat in Israel? Any?
Doesn't sound very fair to me - sounds like just another apologist making excuses for the latest in a very long line of blatantly callous provocative acts...

They would do well by bulldozing the whole country and starting over. A theme park does sound very interesting.

Trolling?Originally posted by Ming
Sava... I don't care if he is trolling...
How would you like it if your 'friends' of another religion decided to break open the graves of your long dead relatives in the name of 'tolerance'...?
So I take it you agree with what the Simon Weisenthal centre is doing then, by calling this 'trolling'?Comment
