N Ireland: KKK incident at Islamic centre probed as hate crime

A group of at least eight people dressed as Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members posed outside an Islamic centre in a Northern Irish town over the weekend, in an incident that is being treated by police as a hate crime.

A picture published on social media showed the group, also carrying crucifixes, close to the Bangladesh Islamic Centre in Newtownards, east of Belfast, on Saturday.

A pig's head was left outside the same centre in August last year, according to British media.

Maybe a Halloween joke, it said they went to a pub afterwards but were not served and appeared in a picture with a far-right politician.  Then, left after only about 5 minutes.

They have.  Irishmen dressed in white robes are not a resurrection of the KKK.  Odd, maybe even a little funny, but not KKK.

Since they are Irish,maybe the white robes were supposed to symbolize burial shrouds,or something similar?

I expect they were being cute.  Too cute by half.
