Muslims Raise $55,000 To Fix Vandalised Jewish Cemetery by vedaxcool(m): 10:24am On Feb 22, 2017
A crowdfunding project launched by Muslim activists has raised more than $55,000 in one day to repair a vandalised Jewish cemetery in St. Louis.

On Tuesday, Linda Sarsour of the grassroots civil rights MPower Change group and Tarek El-Messidi of the non-profit CelebrateMercy organisation called on people to donate after more than 100 headstones at the Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery in the St. Louis suburb of University City were toppled.

By early Wednesday, at the time of publishing, $55,341 had been raised.


According to reports, police said they did not yet know who was responsible for the vandalism.
"Muslim Americans stand in solidarity with the Jewish-American community to condemn this horrific act of desecration," the activists said.

They launched the campaign with a goal to raise $20,000, a target that was hit in three hours.

"Any remaining funds - after the cemetery is restored - will be allocated to repair any other vandalised Jewish centres," the pair said.
Rising anti-Semitism

The cemetery vandalism came amid rising anti-Semitism in the United States, where Jewish centres have increasingly been targeted with bomb threats.

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday publicly condemned such attacks.

"The anti-Semitic threats targeting our Jewish community and community centres are horrible and are painful and a very sad reminder of the work that still must be done to root out hate and prejudice and evil," Trump told reporters.

Both Muslim and Jewish communities have expressed fear over rising discrimination in recent months.

After a mosque in Texas burned down in January, Americans raised more than one million dollars for repairs.

The local Jewish community handed those affected the keys to their synagogue so they could continue to worship.

Sarsour and Messidi said that tolerance and mutual protection was a central theme in Islam.

"We hope to send a united message from the Jewish and Muslim communities that there is no place for this type of hate, desecration, and violence in America," they said.

"We pray that this restores a sense of security and peace to the Jewish-American community who has undoubtedly been shaken by this event."

Pro-active measure. Guilty conscience is affecting some people (Quran 9:29).

1400 years of Islamic logic: tying their crime with the actions of the kafirs.

In Egypt, Coptic Christians' cemetery are always vandalized by pious Muslims, when have they raised money to repair it or showed solidarity to their Christian minority? Oh I forget, Muslims are less than 1% in the US and the US citizens have right to bear arms hence Muslims must behave or pretend to be OK.

When did Muslims contribute money to repair churches they bomb in Nigeria, Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, Pakistan, Niger, etc? They will never contribute a dime because Muslim population is high in those countries and they have both demographic and military advantage over the infidels in those countries.

Lest I forget, Mohammed said 'War is deceit' (sahih Bukhari 4:52:269).

Lol... If you read further you'd see where it was stated that the Lord's portion was commanded to be given to Eleazer the priest. And unlike Islam, those women weren't raped, abused, tortured or treated like sub humans.

The unmarried men who fought in the war were told to pick ONE woman each as a wife and love her as a man would love his wife.

This is unlike your paedophile prophet who killed a bride's entire family and raped the bride on the same day and also commanded Muslims to rape women who "their right hands possess", Lmao!

The suspects are trying hard to cover-up their crime. We know them and they know themselves.

Their pedophile and fake prophet even encouraged their hostile and criminal behaviours.
Muhammad makes Hitler look like an amateur.

"Allah's Apostle said, 'The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say, "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him"'" (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177).
