Pork: The other white meat.
Staten Island, NY (silive.com) -- It's being investigated as a hate crime -- someone scattered pieces of bacon over the New Dorp Beach field where the borough's Muslim community celebrated the end of Ramadan Sunday morning.
But that act of desecration failed to ruin what organizers described as a successful celebration -- about 1,500 worshipers gathered at the John D'Amato Field at New Dorp Lane and Cedar Grove Avenue, unaware of the early morning police investigation that preceded the ceremony.
"Everything went smoothly," said Dr. Mohamed Sadeia, president of the Muslim American Society on Staten Island, which organized the gathering. "The community is really not aware of it.
Dr. Sadiea was one of a handful of organizers who noticed the uncooked bacon on a small section of the field at about 8 a.m.
He said he contacted police, but kept the incident and investigation quiet, because he didn't want to distress the adults and children gathering for morning prayers.

OK. Concede that hate for argument’s sake.
What is the “crime” exactly?
I got their address off their Facebook page:
Muslim American Society on Staten Island
180 Burgher Ave.
Staten Island, NY
(you find the zip code)
Why not send them a nice 3 x 5 card, with a note
stating that this a representation of one pound of fresh
bacon “sent ross-country, just for you”.
Leaving bacon on the ground is a hate crime? GET FRED!
Were they thinking it was some kind of ‘booga-booga’
magical thingie??
PUH-LEEZE!
islam is a hate crime.
Bacon is now on the democrats hate list.....better store up on it before its taken off the shelves...
agree with you on that one, if someone was serious they would have dumped a bucket of pig blood all over the park, and that wouldn’t be hate, just a practical joker...
It might have been more fun to walk a pot-bellied pig through the park.
