| Pig's head found in Tel Aviv mosque |
| 2005-08-20 |
| A PIG'S head wrapped in an Arab headscarf was dumped in a mosque on the outskirts of Tel Aviv in what is thought to a protest against the Israeli pullout from Gaza, police sources said today. Officials in the Hassan Bek mosque, which is situated between Tel Aviv and the neighbouring port town of Jaffa, made the discovery yesterday, the Muslim holy day. The mosque has had several of its windows broken in recent weeks, the sources said. Pork is considered impure by both Muslims and Jews. |

| #11 Why insult the noble and intelligent swine by comparing it to the hell-filth known as Arafat. I just love the new Atlantic cover story on Arafat's being the real destroyer of the "Palestinian cause." Next month, a big picture of the Sun rising in the East! |

| #10 Ted Kennedy is in Israel? I didn't know, but it doesn't surprise me that he would be spotted in mosque. |

| #9 Raj is correct. It is the Arafish making a long journey back from hell for a visit. Reincarnation and all that. |

| #6 Hogs/pigs are raised in Israel to provide parts for hearts. They live a fine life. |

| #5 Raj: Good guess, but I'll bet it was Shiek Ahmed Yassin's. |

| #4 Maybe it was Arafat's head? How would you tell? |

| #3 Pigs are raised in Israel. The farm's pig houses and pig paddocks(?) are all on raised boardwalks so the pig's feet never touch the ground. |

| #2 John, I think there are plenty of secular Jews who eat pork, and I understand a lot of the Russian immigrants don't keep Kosher. I know I wouldn't -- pork chops and bacon taste GOOD! |

| #1 Serious question: Are pigs raised in Israel or the Palestinian areas? Who buys or eats pork there? |
