Arab Muslims Seize Jewish Holy Site Ezra’s Tomb in Iraq – Converts it to Mosque
[Arab Muslim] forces operating in the south of the country had seized control of an ancient shrine revered [by Jews] as the tomb of the biblical scribe and priest Ezra.
Pan-Arab news website Al-Araby reported that the [Arab Muslims] had destroyed large portions of the shrine, which included both a synagogue and a mosque, and now intend to use it as their headquarters in southern Iraq.
According to Al-Araby, the terrorists had cut off all access to the Tomb of Ezra to prevent journalists from reporting on their conquest and destruction of the holy site.
It would seem those efforts were wasted, as news of this latest Muslim assault on Judaism was mentioned by not a single major media outlet. Only the Jewish blog Elder of Ziyon and the Israeli news website Israel National News bothered to carry the report.

This is absolutely Not true… the tomb of Prophet Ezra ( peace upon him ) is still as it was, and will still forever… we are as people of Maysan Province ( which is where the tomb is located) Respect his sacredness as one of the God’s Prophets.. There are ten guards appointed by the local Government of Al Uzair Sub district to keep the shrine always safe, as will as the protection of the locals..
Let me tell you something, The people there Believe that the shrine raises blessing on them and their families, and that is why they named their sub district on his name ( Al Uzair which is the same name of Ezra in Arabic language ).
If you wish, I could send you new photos for the tomb with its blue dome.
