Is It Still A Grave If No One Is Buried There ?

Paul Mirengoff at Power Line posted a story yesterday about some rather odd things going on in Jerusalem.  

According to the article:

“…the Muslim Waqf (a religious endowment in Islamic law that oversees land for Muslim religious or charitable purposes) has asked a court to force the city of Jerusalem to stop removing false graves from an ancient Muslim cemetery near the center of the city.”  

Yes, that did say false graves.

According to an Israel National News report yesterday:

“Following Arutz7’s report, the Jerusalem Municipality and the Israel Lands Authority began removing the tombs. It was speculated that the false graves were part of a plan to have the Muslim Waqf submit a demand for the additional land to be placed under Muslim ownership.

“Later it was reported that the same phenomenon was occurring in the area of the Eastern Wall in Jerusalem (adjacent to the Western Wall), with the Arabs simply ignoring a law that deems the area a national park.”

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, yet a building moratorium in part of Jerusalem was made to be part of the peace process.  Meanwhile, the Arabs are building bogus graves inside the Israeli capital in order to increase their land.
