France-Echos : Christian cemetary in Casanblaca
2006-11-03
Text in french, but pictures suffice to themselves; the cemetary is now managed by the moroccan authorities, who allow about fifty retired workers to live in a few house inside the cemetary.

#1  Here's the Google translation with minor editing:

Operation witnesses visit Christian cemetery of Casablanca (gallery photographs. It would be wise to make a gesture to encourage the Muslim and Christian communities to show their mutual respect. It is about a business which it would be urgent to regulate: The scandal of the cemetery of Casablanca-- Caveaux tombs profaned, torn off crosses and statues. Here is the spectacle which awaits the visitors going in this place which respects neither dignity, nor the human heart. Several people (around fifty) live in small houses within the cemetery. Those were offered to pensioners as social housing. One of the guards explained to me that the embassy of France was no longer owner and that the Moroccan State was alone to manage this cemetery. The mediation of this business will make it possible to sensitize the two communities as to the importance of the respect for one another. It could consequently lead to a better agreement of the two cultures. Not having all the addresses of the media concerned, I authorize you to diseminate the contents of my email and the photographs which I am sending as enclosures. Convinced of the tolerance of the two communities I espérerais to intend their voices to express itself. Cordially. French of Morocco
