Man jailed over Newbury mosque pig's head dumping

A man has been jailed for three months for dumping a pig's head outside a mosque in Berkshire.

Rory Rowbottom, from Thatcham, left the animal's head at the mosque on Pound Street in Newbury on 23 October.

Rowbottom pleaded guilty to one count of racially aggravated harassment and a section 4 public order offence at Reading Magistrates' Court.

Ch Insp Lindsey Finch said his actions had left the community "distressed and horrified".

Speaking after the hearing she said: "This was a particularly distressing crime, targeting a very respectful and close community in West Berkshire."

Lucky Nizami, of the Newbury Mosque Committee, said: "The Muslim community is very tolerant of others' beliefs, but hold several things very close to them; those are the Koran, the Prophet and the mosque.

"It was therefore beyond the understanding of the community why anyone would wish to insult them by directly attacking one of those, in this case the mosque."

Must be a very peaceful place indeed, if it is a pig head tossed on the ground that makes a Chief Inspector of the Police "distressed and horrified." What does he do when someone gets raped or murdered? Fall into a twitching fit, bursting into tears, curling up into a fetal position and rocking back and forth?

Interesting, in that it appears to sets a precedent that - if evenly applied - would result in certain types of Muslim protesters being thrown in the cooler for a long period of time, given the sort of things that some of them say and do.

Oh come on Pappa Muslims aren't targeted for their religion but because people think their all "pakis" and other assorted brown people helped in no small part by the ignorant shite peddled in the media.

I sincerely doubt Muslims would be targeted if it was a religion predominately made up of white people.

Sstill, a religion is not a race, and religious intolerance being treated as "racial harassment" makes no legal sense.
Either the guy said stupid things while in custody and fed the prosecution all it needed, or the defender was an utter nincompoop.

I figure it is best to give the benefit of the doubt since I know very few white people who'd have anything but revulsion at the idea of Muslims living around their patch? I know it has nothing to do with colour since this doesn't happen at the thought of Sikhs or Buddhists living close by. These don't have a history of destroying tall buildings and blowing themselves up though, do they? Nothing like a history of violence to cool the atmosphere....just like yanks in that way? :coffee:

So much comedy. Someone called their kid "Lucky" and the Muslim community is very tolerent of other's beliefs.

Doesn't the law there punish incitement to religious hatred too?

So, some Brit with Balls stood up and expressed his displeasure of Muslims in Britain. Hope the Queen grants him a KBE.
Bravo :clap:
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
