Pork Found at NYC Ramadan Festival

Muslims gathered in a New York City park this past weekend to celebrate the end of Ramadan.  Organizers found uncooked bacon scattered around, and police are investigating it as a potential hate crime.

“Muslims are prohibited from eating pork products. The New York chapter of the Council of American-Islamic Relations says pork is often used to offend or taunt Muslims. It says there have been similar taunts around the country,”  according to the report here .

What do you think:  Is this a hate crime?
