LEWISTON, Maine — U.S. prosecutors are not pursuing charges against a man who rolled a pig's head into a mosque.

Brent Matthews faces a state misdemeanor charge of desecration of a place of worship. State prosecutors also won a court order requiring him to stay away from the mosque.

Matthews, 33, has insisted the July 3 incident was intended as a joke. The pig's head rolled into the mosque as about 40 people were praying. Many Muslims consider pork and pork products unclean and offensive.

FBI agents and federal prosecutors looked into federal hate crime charges but ultimately decided to let the matter rest with state prosecutors.

"We're not going forward with our prosecution," Assistant U.S. Attorney General Halsey Frank said.

Dipping a Cross in urine is art, rewarded by a federal grant, but rolling a pig's head into a mosque is a possible federal crime?

This is the backwards world we're living in right now.

Does he have a legal defense fund set up? Where are all the organizations supporting him? If he had thrown a urine covered crucifix into a Catholic church, things would be much different.

I say lets release the three little pigs into mosques and number them 1,2,and 4.

I consider throat-cutters to be unclean and offensive.

Could this have anything to do with the influx of large number of Somali Muslims, who don't seem able to find gainful employment, but do seem able to father large numbers of children and collect welfare?

I see nothing wrong with this. Bowling for Bombers.

Maybe CBS can run it against Idol.

In a couple weeks I'll be in Katy, Texas at my aunts place who lives near the new mosque and I plan on attending the pig races and BBQing a bunch of pork ribs.

Christian "Meals on Wheels" for Muslim's.

That's my defense.

It didn't sport a beard or a burka.

Make sure you collect all the drippin's and dispose properly :)

Is there a link to that function?

How about telling us what they do not find offensive?

What a weak, immature religion Islam is. Cartoons offend them, pork offends them, women offend them, merely questioning their so-called religion offends them, freedom to choose your own religion offends them, asking them to obey laws everyone else are supposed to obey offends them, movies that depict terrorists as muslim offends them. Sheesh, I am surprised that air does not offend them!!
