(ANSA) - Naples, November 25 - A pig's head was found outside a warehouse used as a place or worship by Muslims in the town of Giugliano in Campania, near Naples, ANSA sources said Wednesday. The incident appears to be a reaction to this month's terror attacks by Islamist extremists in Paris, even though many Muslim representatives in Italy condemned the massacre and led protests to say they were not done in their name. 'F**k Isis' was written next to the pig's head.

Local police recently monitored Islamic places of worship in the area and had talks with the people who run them to discuss preventing extremism and protecting the Muslims who use these sites.

The local imam, Noureddine Guediri, condemned the incident but said he was "sure it was a prank".

Guediri said he had never had problems with intolerance. "I've been here for 20 years and I'm Italian, like my wife, and we've never had any problems," he said.
