Pig's head dumped outside mosque at start of Ramadan
Yahoo | AFP ^ | 9/28/06

Posted on 09/29/2006 9:27:34 AM PDT by LibWhacker

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."

Two British mosques were hit by arson attacks in August following the foiling of an alleged plot to blow up US-bound aircraft leaving Britain.

Many times during ramadan while stationed in Saudi Arabia we grilled pork chops and other pig products on our balcony.

Dump this at the mosque but with a Mohammed cartoon or a Koran in it's mouth. Islam is the only religion that can't withstand criticism or ridicule, because they know what a phony faith they have. With a phony prophet and a vengeful, sadistic Allah that's a projection of Mo's mind

When Muhammad talks about this vengeful sadistic Allah, he is unveiling the dark recesses of his own soul. God would not do that sort of things to people. .......

1509 The second Portuguese viceroy of the Indian Ocean, Alfonso de Albuquerque, learned that Malacca was both a stronghold of Islam and the key to the spice trade, so in 1509 he sent four ships to check out the port. If he wanted an incident with the Malays he got one; while the Portuguese were touring the city the sultan ordered his guards to attack them, killing sixty men and destroying one ship before the rest got away. One officer who distinguished himself in this battle was Ferdinand Magellan.[lxxv]
1511 Two years later Albuquerque personally led a fleet of nineteen ships to Malacca. The Malaccan force outnumbered the Portuguese by a factor of 15 to 1, but the superior technology of Portuguese ships and cannon prevailed, and Malacca fell after a six-week siege. To prevent any trouble with the powerful mainland states to the north (remember Siam's claim to all of Malaya), Albuquerque immediately sent embassies to Ayutthaya and Pegu, and diplomatic relations with both kingdoms got off to a good start. Afterwards Portugal sent expeditions to the Moluccas (1512), China (1513), and Japan (1543), securing trade with all of those places.
