Muslim Community Center officials said they had to remove the headstones because they weren't compliant with cemetery restrictions and falling apart, but families denied that and said they weren't told about the move.

Officials from the Muslim Community Center said they had to remove the headstones because they weren't compliant with cemetery restrictions and falling apart, but families denied that and said they weren't told about the move.

The Muslim Community Center ordered headstones taken out because they did not fit regulations. But Ayman Halim did not know that when he found his father's grave marker missing and a pile of them left beside a dumpster.

Dozens of headstones belonging to members of Chicago’s Muslim community were discovered next to a dumpster on the city’s far North Side.
