On Monday morning, a total of 58 burial sites in Clermont-d’Excideuil cemetery, in Périgord Vert, Dordogne, were discovered scrawled over in an incident that has left the neighbourhood outraged.

Images of the graffiti show Islamic messages written in French sprayed in black and white paint across graves and doors.

The acts of vandalism allegedly occurred over Sunday night, only to be discovered by the Mayor of Clermont d’Excideuil, Claude Eymery, the following morning.

Tombs, the war memorial, the church door, a Calvary, and a fountain were covered with inscriptions.

On the side of one grave site, a message written in uppercase reads: ‘France is already Allah’s’.

Another says: ‘Happy Ramadan, non-Muslims’.

The word ‘GWER’ can be spotted on at least two tombs – translating from Algerian Arabic to a white person, a Westerner, or a non-Muslim.

The church, located 300 metres from the cemetery, was also made a target with the inscription ‘Ramadan Mubarak’ on its wooden doors.

Mayor Eymery reportedly discovered the vandalised site when we arrived at the cemetery at 8:30am on Monday morning.

He immediately called the police and filed a complaint, telling FranceInfo: ‘It’s weird in a small town like that. I thought it only happened elsewhere’.

‘People are really outraged, shocked, even traumatized for some,” she added.

The findings immediately sparked a reaction from Jacques-Edouard Andrault, the public prosecutor of Périgueux, who indicated that an investigation for ‘aggravated damage’ had been opened, reported CNews.
