Strips of bacon were left on the door handle of a mosque in Scotland. The racist attack on Dunfermline Central Mosque and Islamic Center happened sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning.\u00a0<\/h4>\n

It’s being treated as a hate crime and Police Scotland are currently investigating the incident. In a statement on Facebook the mosque said: “We are disappointed to report that the mosque was attacked over the weekend and bacon left on one of the doors. “This act was a deliberate symbol of hatred chosen as Muslims and Jews do not eat pork.\u201d<\/h4>\n

“With all the positive work we have been doing to highlight that we are all Scots and all the same, and our volunteers having put in so much effort to open our doors to all with our open days including the ‘put the kettle on event’ last month and ‘race against racism’ on Saturday, the vast majority of people of Dunfermline have shown us nothing but love and support.\u201d<\/h4>\n

Members of the mosque had been partaking in a \u2018race against racism\u2019 day on Saturday on the High Street.\u00a0<\/h4>\n

The Church of Scotland\u2019s Presbytery of Dunfermline has condemned the attack.\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Rev Dr Iain Greenshields, clerk to Dunfermline Presbytery, said: \u201cWe abhor the actions of this minority in Dunfermline, which is a very tolerant society, and offer our unstinting support to our Muslim neighbors.\u201d<\/h4>\n
