I'm not a defender of Islam but just out of curiosity, could you give me a
couple of examples that might illustrate your point? The reason is that I
can't think of any other than some idiotic Palestinians throwing rocks down
on Hebrew worshippers at the bottom of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem just to
harass and annoy them. Even there, it's the worshippers who are put
out.....the Wailing Wall is still there intact and not at all desecrated. I
certinly can't think of any Christian sites that are treated that way by
Muslims.

Here are a few..

http://www.shalomjerusalem.com/jerus...rusalem70.html

In both cases, we're dealing with reports concerning the activities of
Palestinians, who I am convinced have sole ownership of the bottom of the entire
Muslim gene pool. Is it fair to blame all of the world's billion or so Muslims
with the depradations of a few twisted members who share their faith, however
imperfectly?



I would also suggest you look at these two site on how Islam treats
religious minorities...

I don't care to get into that for the time being. Let's stick to the original
charge, i.e. - desecration of holy places.
