NEW YORK (Reuters) - Authorities were investigating as a possible hate crime the discovery of uncooked bacon scattered on the grounds of a New York City park where Muslims gathered to celebrate the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, police said on Monday.
Festivities to mark the close of Ramadan, when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, on Sunday had been publicized in local media and drew 1,500 participants to New Dorp Beach Park on Staten Island, said Cyrus McGoldrick, spokesman for the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Organizers found uncooked bacon strewn about a small section of the park, New York City police said.
Religious restrictions prohibit Muslims from eating pork products.
"It's being investigated as a possible bias crime," a police spokeswoman said.

That is a tragic waste of bacon when chitlings would have served just as well.

Bacon is a hate crime? What am I missing? That it was uncooked? Maybe this is Bloomberg's latest food jihad?

I pray for the one who lost the bacon; may they never be found.

More incidents like this, and with today’s prices of pork products, I’ll consider “converting”. Free bacon? Who can resist?!

Religious restrictions prohibit Muslims from eating pork products.So, who was forcing them to eat it?
I suspect were they Jews, there'd be no such stink.

15 years ago, we had Bob Hope, Steve Jobs and Johnny Cash. Now we have no hope, no jobs and no cash. So I’ll raise my glass to the health of Kevin Bacon.

It really is time to end all the PC sh1t right now. This is not America, this is fricking Orwell’s nightmare world.
I will say it now. I really do not care about offending muslims anymore. I do not care about offending women anymore, or gays, or blacks, or any other “special” “protected” class that makes people unequal because of arbitrary external features or behaviors.
This is terrible law, terrible concepts moral and legal, and it all has to end right freaking now. This is not everyone being equal under the law.
