ROME (Reuters) - A far-right Italian senator outraged Muslims on Thursday by calling for a "Pig Day" protest against the planned construction of a mosque in northern Italy.
Roberto Calderoli of the anti-immigrant Northern League party said he was ready to bring his own pig to "defile" the site where the mosque is due to be built in the northern city of Bologna.
"I am making myself and my pig available for a walk at the site where they want to build the mosque," Calderoli, who is a deputy speaker of Italy's Senate, said in a statement.
Calderoli also said he would eat "a nice plateful of pork chops to show my lack of sympathy for those who consider pork forbidden meat."
Muslims do not eat pork and consider pigs and their meat too filthy to touch.
"Those words are highly offensive and indecent, especially as they are coming from an Italian lawmaker," Mario Scialoja, a prominent leader of Italy's Muslim community, told Reuters. "It left me speechless".
Tensions flare regularly between communities in predominantly Catholic Italy over the site of new mosques to serve a growing Muslim population.
On Wednesday night, around 20 people staged a protest near the port city of Genoa over the planned construction of a mosque which they said would be offensive because it is near a church.
The protesters, including a priest suspended from the church, prayed the rosary -- which consists of the "Our Father", "Hail Mary" and "Glory Be" prayers read repeatedly -- despite a call by the country's most senior Roman Catholic bishop not to do so.
In December 2006, protesters left a severed pig's head outside a mosque being built in Tuscany.
In July, police arrested an imam on suspicion of leading a terrorism "training school" in a mosque in central Italy.
After that arrest, the Northern League called for all existing mosques -- most in old garages or converted factories and warehouses -- to be closed for security checks.
Calderoli is no stranger to controversy over Islam and is often accused of making racist comments.
Last year, he lost a ministerial post in a centre-right government led by former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for wearing a T-shirt with cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad offensive to Muslims.

islam:
“we have a right to terrorize and kill you,
but you don’t have a right to free speech in your own country”.
:) Muzzies disrespect everyone else and expect everyone to kow-tow to them. They get their drawers in a knot when people say “no” to them. Maybe Italy will lead the way for Europe to wake up before it becomes a total colony of allahu fubar.

Hmmm. Radio-active porkers?!?! -;)
If the mosque is too small, maybe they should go back to Craoistan.
Add some alcohol, equally disliked by Moslims, and maybe some scantily clad women also. That and non-Moslims are what are insults to members of the “relision of peace.”
Yeah stuff like this makes my day too heheheh
“a snack full of pork rinds” (as muzzie repellent)
For a while when I attended a FReepers counterprotest, I carried a can of Underwood’s Deviled Ham in my coat pocket, in case any muzzies showed up in solidarity with the Code Pinko crowd.
A sort of swine grenade: pull ring and hurl.
However, an earlier post suggests that bologna can be made mostly of pork. Hmmm... a package of Oscar Meyer is flatter and more concealable, and much less messier to deploy.
(A waste of good sandwich fixins in either case.)
I know what to carry, now.
;^)
Didn’t read any specifics of “irked” Muslims, but who the hell cares if they’re “irked?”
They should be kicked the hell out of Italy, every last one of them.
LOL I nominate this guy for the FReeper Euro politico of the month.
I like him too, Muck Fuslims!
