| Muslims outraged over pig parts dumped at Swiss mosque site |
| 2011-11-14 |
| Muslims in Switzerland are responding with shock and outrage after a pig carcass and severed swine heads were discovered buried at the site of a proposed mosque. Police in the town of Grenchen uncovered the pigs Friday after they received an anonymous message claiming that someone had buried the body parts and spilled 120 liters of blood from the animals in an effort to desecrate the ground to halt the construction of the mosque. Pork and pork byproducts are haram, or forbidden, in Islam. The unsigned flier, written in German, says "This operation was done (conducted) to protest against the growing expansion of Islam in Switzerland," and says that a similar desecration in Spain earlier halted another mosque construction project. Thomas Suber, chief of the Solothurn Canton police, told CNN by phone that there were no suspects currently, but that a full investigation is under way. "We can't say yet it is a hate crime in those words, but it could have been done to stop the mosque," said Suber. Suber said that whoever is responsible may be brought up on environmental pollution charges. The police chief says that veterinary health officials have been called in to find if pig's blood has in fact been spilled, and that charges may be filed over illegal dumping of animal parts in addition to other potential criminal charges. But for Muslims in Switzerland, it's just the latest sign that they are being victimized by some in the far right. Abdel Azziz Qaasim Illi, spokesman for Switzerland's Central Islamic Council said the deed "crossed a line" that had already been pushed against Muslims since a popular referendum in 2009 banned the construction of new minarets. |

| #13 Is there some kind of outrage deficit? Yes, exactly. Ever spend time in Switzerland? It's hard to be outraged about much of anything. But Muslims surrounded by pork-eating, beer-swilling infidels may feel obligated to be outraged, lest Allan (or some Islamofascist head-chopper) suspect their faith is inauthentic. If they can't find anything real to be outraged about . . . well then, why not make something up. |

| #12 The reason that Sarah Palin is not vice-president right now is that she cannot take a punch and keep on truckin'. She just has to claw out the eyes of her tormentor. That is a natural thing, just not a Christian thing. So, you Islams, don't be like Sarah, get to being more Christian, or you get a big fat fail posted on your forehead by everyone you want to love you. Oh, perhaps that is hard for you. Continue to fail then. I don't mind. |

| #8 Entirely possible. Expected, even. When the infidels just aren't generating enough outrage to keep them happy, why, it's for the good of the community to manufacture some. |

| #7 Anyone think they might have done it themselves? Wouldn't be the first (or second, or third, or ...) time. |

| #6 I get kind of outraged when they discover human body parts and blood in torched or dynamited churches located in predominately 'Religion of Peas®' countries, too. Plus, the authorities there do even less than what the good Constable Suber appears to be doing here. |

| #4 Switzerland's Central Islamic Council (Islamischer Zentralrat Schweiz) is a salafist/islamofascist outfit. Qaasim (Patric) Illi is an ethnic Swiss convert to Islam, and a former pal of Sheikh Yassin. His wife Nora Illi is an ethic Swiss convert to Islam as well. Here's an article in German plus photograph. Some choice quotes from Illi's website during the second intifada: «Zwei Linienbusse voll mit Zionisten-Besatzungs-Bastarden gesprengt. Die Brüder erlegten min. 16 Zionisten und mehr als 91 wurden verletzt», "Two transit busses full of Zionist-Occupier bastards blown up. The brothers culled at least 16 Zionists and more than 91 were injured." «Breaking News: Explosion in Taba, Hilton in die Luft gesprengt, viele Zionisten-Schweine in kleine, handliche Stücke zerlegt. Mind. 35 Tote, 250 Verletzte. In Gaza feiern die Massen. Allahu Akbar!» "Breaking News: Explosion in Taba, Hilton blown up, many Zionist-pigs cut up into small manageable pieces. The masses are celebrating in Gaza. I'm not shedding any tears over Mr Illi's precious little feelings being hurt. |
