Insult to WWII heroes: Graves of British troops smashed and desecrated by Libyan Islamists in protest over U.S. soldiers' Koran burning

A furious mob has desecrated dozens of Commonwealth War Graves in a Libyan cemetery amid continuing fury in the Middle East over the burning of the Koran by U.S. soldiers.

Headstones commemorating British and Allied servicemen, killed during World War II campaigns in the Western Desert, lay smashed and strewn across Benghazi Military Cemetery.

Protesters rampaged through site on Friday, despite efforts by America to calm tensions sparked when it emerged U.S. soldiers had burned Muslim holy books in a pile of rubbish at a military base in Afghanistan.

President Obama has apologised to President Karzai for the unintentional burning of the Korans at NATO's main Bagram air base after Afghan labourers found charred copies while collecting rubbish.

White House spokesman Jay Carney sought to counter criticism, telling reporters on board Air Force One: ‘It is wholly appropriate, given the sensitivities to this issue, the understandable sensitivities.’

But it appears to have had little affect on sentiment among many in the Middle East.

It’s coming folks and it won’t be pretty! When the muslims decide to rise up here on U.S. soil, there will be hell to pay. Lock and load.

A quick google and all that turns up is a German war memorial building.

Many other good reads.

J Beeley, who had earned a Victoria Cross and later showed me the formal citation and description of his actions recorded from official dispatches and reproduced in the 1950s British Legion handbook. The inscription on the grave reads: “They bade goodbye to the days of peace to die for gains they will not share”.

Bob Bogan a fun read!

We even stunk like terrorists, or oops, Local Nationals, we did not wash our civilian/Arab gear. The dogs did not bark at us or the camels cough and become restless, so we moved unheard, unseen, at night in the back alleys and dirty sewers - squashing thousands of cockroaches as we moved.

“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

They don’t need to rise up in the US. Muslims already hold high positions in the current Admin, and in various buracracies. They are our rulers now, most of us just haven’t noticed - too many parties and ball games, you know.

They are just taking it slow, as usual, but when most notice it will be far too late - no matter how many guns people have stock piled today, tommorow is a different story.
