Racist vandals target Muslim graves in Chadderton #UK Vandals have desecrated ten Muslim graves in the Chadderton Cemetery in Chadderton. Police: Vandalism of graves sickening and cruel Sgt Jon Martin, from Greater Manchester Police, has described the attack of Muslim graves in Chadderton as senseless vandalism. He said: “The exact motive for this heinous and senseless vandalism is unclear, but given that only the Muslim section of the cemetery was targeted it has to be treated as being racially motivated. That makes this vandalism even more sickening, as the culprits have singled out the resting places of those who have lost their lives purely because of their religion. This is not just wanton racism but the deliberate, calculating and cruel act of desecrating the memories of Muslims who are buried at the cemetery. He continued: “The distress this has caused to the families who have loved ones buried here is immeasurable. It is not just the vandalism itself, which can be repaired, but the thought of someone trashing what should be a place of sanctity and tranquillity for those who have lost their lives purely because of their religion.
