The Sidi Bel Abbas sanctuary arson occurred in April, 2006 in the Spanish exclave of Ceuta.
This structure, built to commemorate 12th-century Muslim saint Sidi Bel Abbas, was burned by unknown parties. This action was widely believed to have been committed as an anti-Muslim act, particularly as several other attacks on Muslim religious centers in Spain occurred in 2005-2006.[1] However, others have hypothesized that the sanctuary was burned by Salafist elements, who doctrinally object to the veneration of any human.[2]
