Florence (SC) mosque defaced with bacon
http://www.wmbfnews.com/story/13313691/florence-mosque-defaced-with-bacon

FLORENCE, SC (WMBF) - A national Muslim civil rights and advocacy group is calling on the FBI to investigate a message written in bacon at mosque in Florence.

Three chair members of the Islamic Center in Florence discovered the words "pig" and "chump" written in strips of bacon on the walkway along the mosque Sunday afternoon.

Florence Police Chief Anson Shells says the incident is currently being investigated a form of harassment. Because nothing was done to an actual person, no crime has technically been committed. They are looking into a possible bias motive for the latest incident.

Hussain said this is the second time someone has vandalized the mosque. Earlier this year, vandals broke windows in the facility. Apart from these incidents, Hussain said the center has never had problems before.

3. Ahh so funny
the average mental wit of a conservative is about equivalent to a 12 year old boy.

I'd like to find out who did it so I could smear something truly vile on their walkway, like Marmite.

4. Neighbor: "He said the Islamic center has had a positive influence on the community."
"Shame on them," said Darryl Hughee, who lives across the street from the mosque. "Whoever did what they did, it has to be a mental thing, you know."
