THIS IS SUPPOSED TO PROMOTE TOLERANCE?

Israelis Won't Stop Dig at Muslim Cemetery
JERUSALEM (AP) - A dispute over the fate of an ancient Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem threatened Wednesday to ignite tensions in Holy City as workers removed skeletons from the site despite Muslim pleas for the work to end.

Israeli developers and archaeologists are removing the tombs to make room for the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center to build a multi-million-dollar Museum of Tolerance, dedicated in part to promoting understanding among different religions. Muslims are incensed...
and most of the rest of us are just incredulous.
