Muslim pilgrims visit the Baqee cemetery where the Prophet Muhammad’s family is buried, in Medina, Saudi Arabia, Monday, Nov. 30, 2009.

Iranians and other Shiites flock to the graves to pay respects to several revered descendants of Islam’s prophet, while Saudi soldiers and morality police try to prevent dramatic displays of fervent praying or weeping.
