Second Jewish cemetery vandalized in a week
(CNN)Police in Philadelphia are trying to determine who vandalized a Jewish cemetery over the weekend.
Between 75 and 100 tombstones were overturned and damaged Saturday night at the Mt. Carmel Cemetery in the Wissinoming neighborhood. The incident is being classified as institutional vandalism, but investigators have not established a motive, said Det. Jim McReynolds of the police department’s Northeast Detectives Division.
Cemeteries are located on each corner of the intersection, but no vandalism was found at the three Christian cemeteries, he said.
“As far as we know it’s limited to the Jewish cemetery,” he said.
The estimate of 75-100 damaged tombstones was conservative and may grow, he said.
Members of the Philadelphia branch of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, an American-Muslim organization, also visited the cemetery and helped in the cleanup efforts, according to national spokesman Qasim Rashid.
Salaam Bhatti, another spokesman for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, told CNN there are as many as eight more members at Mt. Carmel cemetery Monday helping out with “whatever the cemetery needs.”
“This attack is not just an attack on our Jewish brothers and sisters but on our common community,” Bhatti said. “We believe we need to be protecting our fellow humans from this extremism.”
