Ruling on Holy Site

http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2022531,00.html

This article discusses a lawyer for the Muslim community who is saying that he will appeal an Indian court ruling that would divide a disputed holy site between the Hindu and Muslim communities. Muslims refer to this site as the now-demolished 16th century Babri Mosque, while Hindus say it is the birthplace of the god Rama.
The ruling was that the site should be split, with the Muslim community getting control of one-third and two Hindu groups splitting the remainder, according to Ravi Shankar Prasad, a lawyer for one of the parties to the suit. The Hindus will keep the area where a small tent-shrine to Rama has been erected.

What I found particularly interesting about this article is the continuing unrest between these groups over this Holy Site. This little patch of land, in a town called Ayodhya, has been sparking religious violence for hundreds of years. The town of Ayodhya is one of India's seven sacred cities. Hindus tried to tear down the Babri Mosque in 1990. They failed, but the mere attempt caused riots that brought down India's government.
Two years later, they tried again and succeeded, pulling apart the 464-year-old mosque with crowbars, other hand tools -- or just their bare hands.

It seems that compromising and splitting this space between the groups is not good enough, especially for this Muslim lawyer that wants to appeal the ruling. This place has a political, religious, and social tie to both groups fighting for complete control.
