When he first spotted the strange graffiti, Mushtaq Hussain thought it was a juvenile prank: Somebody had used bacon strips on a sidewalk in front of a Florence, S.C., mosque to spell out the words "PIG" and "CHUMP"

Can you imagine the police officer's thoughts who took the report? What about the FBI, called in to investigate? I would think Homeland Security showed up as well.

All for an investigation....The officers, FBI, all involved in the investigation have to be saying to themselves, 'What if this is an inside job'?

It’s not a hate crime.....It’s a hate prank. (Having a sense of humor makes hate so .... passe.)

It was a prank. Just some college kids hamming it up.....

Next time, we freeze dry some pigs then mill them into a fine powder. Once that's released in the atmosphere, they'll wear it, breath it,and injest it wheather they want to or not. At this point, there are currently no laws against the possion of weaponized pork.

In September, the US Postal Inspection Service reported that at least four packages containing hate letters and bacon were sent to American mosques from Denver. CAIR is a regular recipient of pork-related hate mail.

I wish someone would send me bacon hate mail. Now a fruit cake on the other hand; that indeed might be considered a hate crime.

There’s a mosque in FLORENCE?! Is this the same Florence we used to be forced to drive through to get to Myrtle and back? I HATES me some Florence... a van full of screaming children after an hour in Florence traffic, BOTH WAYS mind you, IS a hate crime.

I don’t know what the answer to islam is (well, other than Jesus Christ), but I’m pretty sure bacon isn’t it. The next thing you know we’ll be staging pig pickings on their front lawns and that sort of thing needs to be in my backyard. The people (with some exceptions) aren’t evil, but their religion is. Offending them where they go to worship their god (or “God”, but probably not) isn’t going to convince them that we’re not as evil as they may already think we are.

Of course I say this as a Catholic and with the first 9/11 in mind (9/11/1683) so I could go either way on this.

Vosges makes a nice dark chocolate bar which contains bacon pieces: The Bacon Bar.

If you spent an hour in Florence traffic you must have been driving in circles!

It was neither a hate crime or a prank. They were testing if the sidewalk was hot enough to fry bacon on. (they were out of eggs)

chopping heads or chopped bacon... which is worse?

Of course, we all know the answer to that, but people like Obama, Whoopi Goldberg and Nancy Pelosi would beg to differ...

You'd think so, it's just one straight shot through town but every time it would be bumper to bumper insanity. The first few times I couldn't imagine how there were even enough cars in a town that size to cause all that backup.

Last year I had my wife and our five kids in the van and my 73 year old parents in a car behind us and after getting trapped on the wrong side of a multi car pile up I swore I'd rename the kids Grant, Sherman, McClellan, Lincoln and Babs (don't ask) and burn the whole place to the ground while singing Yankee Doodle. Then the gps told me to take 95 around Florence and I've been much happier since.
