Pig heads used as a racist attack symbol

According to news reports from the French city of Montauban, Muslim worshippers found two pig heads hanging outside the gate of the local mosque this morning as they were going for the morning prayers.

Pigs are considered unclean by Muslims (better for the piggies, I say) so this has to be recorded as a racist attack, especially as it took place during the holy month of Ramadan.

Read reports by the IB Times and The Daily Mail. French TV video here (no pig heads portrayed).

Hindu pork deity!

This is something that had escaped me. Apparently, there is an Hindu deity (an avatar of God Vishnu) that has the face of a pig. A boar to be precise, and it is called Lord Boar or Varaha.
You may also see a painting of Vishnu (if I'm not mistaken) with all 5 avatars here.

For the record, the guys and girls in the picture below are supposed to be... indian pigs! I had a hard time telling!
