JNN 14 Jan 2011 : The foundation said one of its officials, Fawwaz Hasan, visited the cemetery and found some graves completely destroyed while the tombstones had been removed from others.

The attack was “another chain in the series of abominable acts” committed against the cemetery, the organization said.

The Mamilla cemetery is believed to date as far back as the 7th century. Companions of the Prophet Muhammad were reputedly buried there, as well as Sufi saints and thousands of other officials, scholars, notables and Jerusalem families.

In 2009, over 1,500 graves were disinterred by the Jerusalem Municipality to make way for a controversial Museum of Tolerance, funded by the US Simon Wiesenthal Center.

The Zionist forces are destroying the graves and this way just want to erase the History of Muslims and want to break the close relations of the Present Muslims with their ancestors , which even connects them with the Prophet Muhammad SAWW and his family as it was done by the Al Saud the Usurpers of the powers in Saudi Arabia , who also destroyed the graves of the family members of the Prophet Muhammad SAWW , in the tradition of there Zionist Mastes.
