Bloodied hog carcass dumped outside Oklahoma Islamic center
Source: Fox News
LAWTON, Okla. Authorities are investigating after the carcass of a wild hog was dumped in the parking lot of an Islamic center in Oklahoma.
Lawton Police spokesman Sgt. Tim Jenkins says security cameras showed a person dropping the carcass at about 2 a.m. Wednesday at the Islamic Center of Lawton, about 75 miles southwest of Oklahoma City. The Lawton Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/2gi4YEF ) that a police sergeant spotted the bloody carcass Wednesday morning and contacted the city's animal control division, which removed the hog.
The Quran, the holy book of Islam, prohibits Muslims from eating pork, and pigs have been used to taunt or offend Muslims.
Hassan Ahmed, the director of the center, says he's not particularly concerned about finding the culprit and instead wants to educate the community about Islam.

(5,754 posts)The same book of the Bible that forbids eating pork (Leviticus 11:verse7), is the one that those folks always quote about gay sex (Leviticus 18:23 and 20:13). Education is really needed!

(3,255 posts)I've spent a lot of time in Oklahoma and the people there are generally very decent and friendly. I just can't imagine that the majority goes around worrying about Muslims and I think they also have some sense of decency. I expect you will see a lot of clergy speaking out against religious intolerance.

The same folks who wasted state taxpayer money paying for legislation to "ban Sharia Law." I guess those stupid rubes never heard of the separation of Church and state?
