Pig's head found at mosque site

Jul 27, 2012 | Sapa | 3 comments

The Democratic Alliance is appalled by the placing of a pig's head on a property earmarked for the construction of a mosque in Malvern, KwaZulu-Natal, the party said.

 This smacks of religious intolerance and undermines our Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion 

"The DA strongly condemns the defilement of the sanctity of any place of worship, in any manner," said spokesman Sizwe Mchunu.

He said the head and several pictures of pigs were found on the property on Thursday.

"This smacks of religious intolerance and undermines our Constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion."

Pigs are regarded as "haraam" in Islam. This means the consumption of pork and the use of products from the animal are forbidden to followers.

I have no religious inclinations, but this act is totally disgusting and the govt should lambast it in strongest possible terms. It violates our constitution and I suspect the boers are behind this, f**king neanderthals!!

Sure knob (head), just like the Boers are behind the anc self-enrichment programme and continuous destruction of our education system - now that is Neanderthal behaviour! Perhaps these trivial petty matters violate our constitution a little more than some immature teenagers prank? Get a life @sshole
