Man arrested in The Netherlands for wearing a pink fleece pig hat

Gates of Vienna: In the PowNed news video below, you’ll see a man being arrested at a PEGIDA (wiki) protest in The Netherlands for wearing a silly pig hat.

The translator includes this summary of what happened:

There is a protest with hardly a Mohammedan in sight. One of the protesters wears a funny hat, in the shape of a pig. This hat does not cover his face in any way. Much less than a headscarf (or worse) does. Therefore the police have no legal reason to ask him to remove this hat. Nevertheless they do. Their reason? In order not to offend Mohammedans.

Many thanks to H. Numan for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

My reaction to this was to immediately order a pig hat of my own.
