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.

Yet... a gunman walking into FRC yelling about how He doesn’t like their policies... and silence. Nice. I love where this country is going.

Bacon is a hate crime? What am I missing?

Aren’t we putting the cart before the horse here? Shouldn’t we first declare Sharia the law of the land, prior to declaring bacon a hate crime?

And yet a girl gang raped by Muslims because they don’t like the way they are treated by “her people” in the US since 9/11 isn’t a hate crime.

This is where they’ve been pushing the Western countries, to where offending their sensibilities is a crime as much as it is in their countries.

I call their hate crime and raise a First Amendment. It was a protest against their influence over our political and legal system.

A suicidal flying pig deliberately crashed into the park.

So a hate crime can be committed on religious grounds? Then what was piss-Christ? Also, no one was physically injured or even threatened with injury.

Where's the hate-crime?

Face it, all this hate crime silliness is the in that Muslims will use to try to take over America.

If it would have been cooked, I’m sure they could have brought some dogs in to clean it up.

THIS is how the kids are treated where there is shariah, and no public American parks to parasitize:
