Pig's Head Thrown Into Maine Mosque During Prayers
2006-07-05
LEWISTON, Maine -- Muslim men praying at an Islamic center in Maine said they were shocked when someone threw a severed pig's head into the mosque.

Witnesses told the Sun Journal of Lewiston that a frozen pig's head slightly larger than a basketball was rolled into the Lewiston Auburn Islamic Center Monday night.

Pigs are considered unclean by Muslims, who are barred from eating pork, and the act was viewed as a deliberate insult against the religion.

When the incident occurred, about 40 men were bowed down as part of their prayer ritual. When the pig's head rolled in, the men got up and ran outside. None of them was hit by the animal head.
