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.

Where are all the organizations supporting him?
Oh that's simple, they're off trying to figure out how to tie their shoes.
How about telling us what they do not find offensive?
Would be an extremely short list, perhaps no list at all!
Hit the bullseye brother. For supposedly (in their minds) a superior religion, they really have an inferiority complex. I have said before that they will start demanding changes here in the US that will accomodate them. Changes which will be clear violations of our consitution.
I predict we will see this guy's obit before too long.
...Gives me an idea. Hmmm, what about training a couple hundred bomb-sniffing pigs? They could help our guys over there, and the muzzies wouldn't dare blow them up, 'cause there's be pig guts everywhere and anyone who got pork-parts on them wouldn't be able to go get their virgins.
ah, c'mon. He was just bowling for virgins.
Actually it was the artist who "created" that worthless work of "art" that got the federal grant, and NOT because of that work, I don't believe. And rolling a pig's head in a mosque should actually be a dry-run, or "pilot" for a reality TV series centering on the Wacky World of Islam and how Westerners "react" to it. Or, turned inside out, is that effectively what
Borat was all about? Tom Green, I think I have a show for you./.....
Freedom of speech!
First Amendment Rights!
He should have said it was "performance art," and insisted on being reimbursed by the NEA.
Bush should send 20,000 strippers and a million cases of Bud to the mohamedan savages, the masses would send the imans packing toot sweet.
Great idea! I've got the title "How Stupid Can You Be?"
The winner gets two Yugo's (one for spare parts)
Until members of that faith start denouncing radical Islam, start to fight radical islam, then I guess I am just gonna keep embarrasing the apologists.
Only joke about a Yugo I can remember:
Guy goes into a service station, and says
"Can I get a gas cap for a Yugo?"
Guy behind the counter says "That sounds about right!"
#24----in excruciating irony, the "bowling ball" on the left was discovered to be Michael Moore, creator of "Bowling for Columbine".
Someone actually did this? SWEET!
What is interesting from a "historical perspective" is that this is EXACTLY the kind of thing that Abbie Hoffman and the Yippies used to do during the 60s, for completely different ends. Were he alive today, he might well be doing this kind of thing. He was always way too radical and socially disruptive and nasty ever to be PC.
Many pigs consider Muslims unclean and offensive!
Snicker snicker :)
