The building which is used by a Muslim Association in the Swedish town of Borås has been vandalized, with pig’s head left outside, and graffiti “Vive La France” sprayed on an outside wall.
The facility is used by the local Svenljunga Muslim Association. Police are investigating the incident.
The pig’s head is offensive for Muslims, as its flesh represents a taboo in Islam.
It’s not the first time such an act of vandalism took place in the area: just over a year ago, a pig’s head was left outside a mosque in a nearby town, Limmared.
