Such splendour, such beauty!

Reflecting the 'peace' of ISLAM, and the magnanimous nature of devout muslims, ...surely!

"....They destroyed Joseph's Tomb and immediately rebuilt it as a mosque
and now claim that it was never Joseph's Tomb at all
but rather the grave of a Muslim clergyman of note.
They now claim that it is a Muslim holy place and assert exclusive rights to it.
Thus all non-Muslims will henceforth be barred from the site."

What happened at Joseph's Tomb in October 2000?
".....The Palestinian police stood by, failing to prevent any of these violent activities, despite their committment to guard the Tomb.
Within hours, Joseph's Tomb was reduced to a smoldering heap of rubble.
Within two days, as an Associated Press dispatch reported,
"the dome of the tomb was painted green and bulldozers were seen clearing the surrounding area,"
as the Palestinian Arabs sought to transform the biblical Joseph's resting place into a Moslem holy site."

Arab vandals desecrate Joseph's Tomb
Gravestone of biblical patriarch ruined despite Palestinian pledge

......The Oslo Accords put the site under Israeli jurisdiction, but on Oct. 7, 2000,
then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak ordered a unilateral retreat,
based on a Palestinian agreement to protect the site.
But within hours, smoke was seen billowing from the tomb as a crowd burned Jewish prayer books and other articles.
With pickaxes and hammers they began to tear apart the stone building.
Two days later the dome of the tomb had been painted green and bulldozers were clearing the area.
