Florence mosque defaced with bacon
This story is relevant and newsworthy due to the recent hysteria in our country involving the Islamic faith. Unfortunately due to the wars in the middle east and terror threats of the past all Islamics are being profiled by a portion of America's population.
It is an interesting story because of the controversy. It is against the Muslim faith to eat or even touch pork and someone went and put pieces of that forbidden thing all over their place of worship. The act is very disrespectful.
As long as cruel acts like this keep happening they should keep being reported about. Articles like this are a testimony that we are far from perfect as a society and have work to do in stamping out ignorance and promoting respect for other beliefs.
So I think the story contains mostly watchdog elements because it's addressing a serious offence done by one person or group of people to intentionally mock another.
