Hall for Muslims Vandalized
Vandals desecrated a controversial Muslim prayer hall being built in Sydney by smearing blood on its walls and leaving pigs' heads impaled on stakes. Pork and related products are forbidden in Islam. A local municipal council had initially refused permission for the hall's construction, saying it could become a hotbed for terrorists. A New South Wales state tribunal later overturned the ruling, and the hall is set to open in October.
