Racist Whites Put Raw Bacon at Site of NYC Muslim Ramadan Event

NY1

Police were investigating Monday an incident that could be a hate crime targeting Staten Island Muslims. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said three packages of raw bacon was found on a football field in New Dorp Beach park on Sunday morning, just before a ceremony marking Eid al-Fitr, the end of Ramadan, was set to take place there.

The Koran prohibits observant Muslims from eating or pork products. Kelly also said two derogatory comments were found on a website associated with the event.
