Pieces of uncooked bacon were scattered at a Staten Island field where Muslims gathered to celebrate the end of Ramadan Sunday, and police are investigating it as a hate crime, authorities said Monday.
Organizers found the bacon on a section of the John D'Amato Field, in New Dorp, where about 1,500 people gathered Sunday to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, the Muslim holiday marking the end of dawn-to-sunset fasting during Ramadan.
The celebration was not marred by the crime because organizers did not inform those gathered until after the celebration had concluded, said Mohamed Sadeia, president of the Muslim American Society on Staten Island, which organized the gathering, according to the Staten Island Advance. Police investigated the crime before the Eid services began.
Three packages of uncooked bacon were left behind along with a note, which was signed by someone who used a code name and referenced a web site, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters Monday. The web site mentioned in the note contained references to the raw bacon, Kelly said.
Observant Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset during the month of Ramadan, and are forbidden to eat pork.

>>12 Correction. They are forbidden to eat pork at all. They can't eat pig in any shape or form, which includes bacon. The only thing that the holiday has to do with this is that all of the Muslims gathered in that area on that day to celebrate.

>>12 They fast during Ramadan. They can't eat pork at all. The celebration, from what I understand, is like Fat Tuesday for Christians. The only difference is that Fat Tuesday is before you fast and this celebration was afterwards.

The guy that did it admitted it and said he didn't mean to offend anyone, the bacon was spoiling in the back of his car and he tossed it in a park to leave it to the scavengers. Whether that's the whole truth we'll never know but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
