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.

Give the person a WELL DONE MEDAL.
STRIKE!!

It's a BushCheneyBrunswickBurton conspiracy.
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.""
My Dad used to say: The inmates are in charge of the asylum....
Thanks. Bart.
Thank you sir for this link. This needs posted everywhere. I'll do my part.
In other words, public housing and Section 8 vouchers. A large percentage of this group fall into the sainted "single women with children" category and are on welfare.
The Saudis spend billions funding radical mosques in the US and around the globe -- why can't THEY squeeze a few dimes out of their wallets and support their co-religionists?
"Odd, they noticed another pig was in their mosque?"
"It didn't sport a beard or a burka."
Also:
1. It behaved appropriately.
2. It had nothing against Jews, Christians, Women, or children.
3. It didn't wake up every morning in a homicidal sh!t
fit.
4. It wasn't a pussy when it came to a fight.
He should have applied for a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts first. Had he done that, he wouldn't have had a bit of trouble!
The FBI looked into it? Is our elite federal law enforcement agency straining for something to do?
Muslims really are overly sensitive.
Then again, it's embarrassing that some people don't respect the faith of others.
I just wish people would calm down.
The prosecutors were probably laughing to hard to bring charges.
I just want to shake this man's hand. More people should be following this man's actions. Swine for Islame.
DEATH TO ISLAM FOR ISLAM IS DEATH!
Brent Matthews, you are a moron, an idiot stupid.
(From the Ultimate Flame)
"I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know."
They want to sweep it under the carpet and pretend it never happened.
