A 31 year old PhD student Majdi last name (undisclosed) found a slaughtered pig's head dumped inside a toilet at the mosque where he was going to do his regular prayers at the University of Western Australia. Majdi discovered the horrifying scene at 12.30pm Sunday.
He also disclosed that, the area was used mostly by Muslims for their traditional washing of hands and feet before performing prayers.
'At first, I thought it was a human's head because I didn't have my glasses on,' Majdi told Daily Mail Australia.
'But I had a second look and realised it was a dead pig's head. It was shocking to see something like that, especially in a clean area. There was blood on the animal.
'I guess it is a message of threat as we, Muslims, do not eat pork.
'It was not a good start to the day.'
Pigs are considered unclean by Muslims, who are forbidden from eating them.
A University of Western Australia spokesman told Daily Mail Australia the matter has been reported to police for further investigation.
'The University is very saddened by this deplorable act,' the UAW spokesman said.
'It is concerning that people using the UWA Muslim prayer room have been targeted this way.
'We would like to reinforce that UWA strives to support a culturally inclusive and tolerant campus community and the University will offer help and support to our Muslim students at this time.'
