Unknown vandals leave pig's head, hate slogans outside Islamic studies center in Greece
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Greek police say unknkown attackers have placed a severed pig's head and painted anti-Muslim slogans outside an Islamic studies center in Athens.
Nobody has been arrested over the pre-dawn attack Friday, at a building that also functions as a Muslim prayer center.
The attackers sprayed an obscene slogan against Islam on the sidewalk outside the building, daubed a Christian cross on the door and threw paint at the walls.

Bigotry targeting Jews and Muslims has increased in Greece in recent years, which also saw the meteoric rise of a Nazi-inspired far-right party. Golden Dawn entered Parliament in 2012, but all its lawmakers now face trial for running a criminal organization that used violence to spread and impose its beliefs.
