Religious leaders in Jerusalem are warning of dangerous
consequences after a decision by Israel's Supreme Court to allow the
destruction of part of an ancient Muslim cemetery.

The graveyard has not been used for more than 50 years, but contains the bodies of some important Islamic figures.

Many of those bodies will now be disturbed to make way for a new Jewish "Museum of Tolerance".

Earlier this week hundreds of Muslims - young and old - marched
through the centre of Jerusalem towards the city's Mamilla cemetery.

Police helicopters flew overhead and security was tight. The
focus of the march, and of increasing Muslim anger, was the Israeli
Supreme Court decision to sanction a controversial new building on part
of the Muslim cemetery.
