"It's Bacon!"
Posted on 04/15/2015 6:33:09 AM PDT by COUNTrecount
Police in Edmond, Oklahoma have not identified any suspects in connection with the reported placement of raw bacon on the door handles of a mosque.
Officers were called Sunday afternoon to the Islamic Society of Edmond, where a mosque trustee reported that “someone put uncooked bacon on the door handles of the men's and women's mosques” earlier in the day.
Muslims are prohibited from consuming bacon and other pork products.
The mosque official, who contacted police at 4 PM, told officers that the vandalism was discovered at 10 AM. An Edmond Police Department report does not indicate why six hours passed before the incident was reported to law enforcement.
Before cleaning up the bacon, mosque members photographed the door handles. The images, including the one above, were subsequently provided to police and the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has called for a federal hate crimes investigation of the vandalism.
Asked about the status of the criminal probe, an Edmond Police Department spokesperson said, “We do not have suspects at this time.” As noted in the police report, the mosque does not have security cameras on its property.
Waste of good bacon — when lard or bacon grease would accomplish a similar purpose.
I wouldn’t blame them one bit if they packed right up and went back to alahooland. Where their is religious tolerance and freedom.
“Why do these morons have separate mosques for men and women?
Why are they in the United States of America!!!
It fell out of someones shopping
Re pic: Thoughtfully tied in a bow!
How is putting bacon on a door handle a hate crime? That does not make any sense in America.
It’s a new America, haven’t you noticed?
Because they are taking over — one mosque at a time
Yes, i get that. Wander why now? Why not in 1960 or 1860? or 1929?
“men’s and women’s mosques”
Wait a minute here! Wait a minute here! Where are the mosques for transgendereds?
I propose a national “Day of Baconing” in which all Americans do such things to desensitize Muslims to tasty pork products.
Blood on muslim hands - NO PROBLEM
Bacon on door handle - BIG PROBLEM
Bet it wasn’t Center cut.
