DEARBORN, Michigan – A group of anti-Islamic protesters, led by Ruben Israel of the official street preachers used a pig’s head on a pole as a conversation starter at Dearborn’s 17th Annual International Arab Festival on June 15th. Some local Christians and Muslims were offended by the pig’s head on display, while many others were incredulous and could not believe it actually happened. Photos provided by Richard Abdullah reveal more details about the incident. (See Pig’s Head story part 1 for more details.)

This is a disgrace! The Jesus we know and serve would never condone such an insensitive and discourteous spectacle. What happened to love and respect for our neighbors?
And what about this poor animal? I guess nobody cares, right? It never felt pain or misery in it’s life?
Yeah, go eat a BLT and keep your heads in the sand.
I am sorry, this is not Christianity. This is not our call to preach the gospel nor as ambassadors of Christ. What a shame that these people, possibly well meaning may have done more to hurt the cause of Christ than we will know. Shame., shame, shame.
Just what is the significance of a pigs head on a poll?
