Mosque site in Swedish town again desecrated with dead pig

Svenska Dagbladet reports that pieces of a dead pig have been found at the site where a mosque is to be built in the Swedish town of Ramberget. Pigs' heads were left at the same site earlier this year.

Mohammad El-Alti, director of the foundation responsible for the construction of the mosque, is quoted as saying: "I think this is just the beginning. What will happen when the mosque is completed?"

Goran Larsson, a researcher at Gothenburg University, says there are studies showing that many mosques in Sweden have been subjected to various forms of desecration and vandalism, many of which go unrecorded.
