Just a bunch of mindless vandals. If they had cars they would be doing burnouts on public streets. Brisbane Cemetary was recently ransacked as are many others - and not by Moslems.
A few comments seem to suggest we fought for Libyan freedom when these soldiers were buried. Nothing could be further from the truth. We fought their colonial masters and replaced them with further colonial "administrations" and a puppet king. Despite what he became, once holding absolute power, Gaddafi was largely responsible for throwing off the colonial yoke.
There certainly are religious overtones, not directed at the graves themselves but the West/Christian world generally but basically they are just out of control young crims. I think we should not get too excited.
