Israel Demolishing Islamic Cemetery to Build Museum

What would the Prophet PBUH do?

I think he'd say cemetaries don't mean anything and that no single drop of blood should be shed over dead humans.

 

Sounds like an insensitive thing to do. i hope the other side reacts more wisely.

 

If you were the UN, what would be your approach on this matter??

 

Why do I get an itty bitty feeling... that if it was the other side committing the provocations, the crap would be flinging right now?

I'm almost positive it would be dubbed a more strong term... stronger than "insensitive"!

 

The biggest waste of land in the world, cemeteries and golf courses.

-Al Czervik-

 

not sure who Al Czervik is but he is already one of my favorite humans ever.

I worked in a cemetery/funeral home during high school. It is a waste of land and money. I hate to be the one to break it to everyone but it doesn't matter how much you spend. the end result is the same.

and I hate golf. Al Czervik for president.

 

Because you are stupid?

 

Aren't cemeteries holy ground?

 

Rodney Dangerfield's character from Caddyshack.

 

So you'd be cool with tearing up Arlington National Cemetery?

 

This seems so uneccessary......back and forth back and forth....isn't some famous mosque built on top of the Temple of Solomon?

Because he knows your history on here?

 

Yeah, whoever uses the bolded part as a basis to justify this is pretty dumb (if the bolded part is true)

 

So it's ok to dig up Muslim Holy Sites because they don't count and it's just a dumb grave which is a waste of space worst than a golf course.

But if Muslims want to build a mosque anywhere near the graves of the 9/11 victims well than that's crossing the line!

Curse them Muslims and their terrorist religion right? It's ok to uproot their holy land, so long as "they" don't bring it here.


I guess the 60's changed the laws a bit, but really didn't change people's minds all that much.

 

The Dome of the Rock is built on the site where the temple once stood. All that remains is the western wall (sometimes called the wailing wall). So yes, the bold part is true. The fact that it was built there has cause a lot of trouble in the last decade or so whenever someone like Netanyahu goes to the temple mount. Given their experiences with that, the Israelis should know better than to cause the same kind of problems. Of course, this will be on a much smaller scale and it is unlikely that Palestinian leaders will be visiting the Museum of Tolerance or that it would be a big deal if they did.

 

Certainly, no dead body is more important than another. This is why we don't have coffins or distinct markers on Muslim graves.

So, that being the case, if everyone is the same, pretty soon all cemetaries will have to be demolished. There is limited space on earth.

If not, then we will run out of space.

What do we do?

Obviously, there needs to be a period where family can visit. But why it's important to have the Sahaba's graves around is beyond me. Their immediate family are not alive, so at this point visiting those graves is trading the fine line of idol worship.

 

would it make the soldiers any less dead?

the end result is still the same.

nice attempt at putting words in my mouth.
