Title
Reverse of square cardboard placard which reads "Never liked pigs they are haram anyway" #blacklivesmatter
Description
Prevalent in online meme culture, the term ‘Haram’ is used for comedic effect with the understanding that something is forbidden.
In the case of this placard it is a humorous commentary on the dietary restrictions of pork within the muslim community, where the term ‘pig’ is expanded to include the police.
