LONDON (AFP) - Police have revealed they were investigating the dumping of a pig’s head outside a mosque on the first full day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

The head was found outside the Jamia Mosque in Newport, southeast Wales, on Saturday. The Koran strictly forbids Muslims to eat pork.

“We treat all incidents of hate crime seriously and are pursuing a number of lines of inquiry to identify the offender,” said Gwent Police Superintendent Simon Prince on Friday.

Nobody at the mosque was available for comment but Sheikh Mohammad Thair Ullah, the chairman of the nearby Shah Poran Bangladeshi Jame Mosque, branded the incident “disgusting” and provocative.

“There is a good and bad in every community and I believe we have some young fanatics who could take this the wrong way,” he said.

“It is a very sensitive time for Muslims and since 9/11 we are facing a lot of problems which are unwanted. Muslims are peace-loving people which has been interpreted wrongly to show that we are all terrorists and criminals. That is the impression given by the world’s media and politicians which is totally wrong.”

While Welsh police rush to investigate and prosecute this crime, back in London the radical Islamists who demonstrated outside Westminster Cathedral calling for the death of Pope Benedict XVI will go scot free: No Action Against Al Ghurabaa Protest.
