A racist stuffed HAM into Muslims' shoes left outside a mosque as they prayed barefoot inside.
Drunken Jamie Knowlson, 30, also draped slices of the pig meat - which Muslims are barred from eating on religious grounds - on railings around the building.
As he left, the lout shouted "the next visit will be harder" and "bad meat", a court heard.
Knowlson targeted the Al-Baseera mosque in St Judes, Bristol, which around 2,000 Somali Muslims use each week.
When arrested nearby, he told police his sacrilegious attack was a drunken joke. Knowlson later admitted he knew his mindless stunt would cause offence and returned to apologise.
He faced up to two years' jail, but was given a suspended six-month prison sentence because he had said sorry.
Knowlson pleaded guilty to causing racially or religiously aggravated harassment.
Judge Carol Hagen told him: "It is difficult to imagine a more offensive incident."
Knowlson, of Kingswood, Bristol, was also sentenced to 150 hours' unpaid work. A second man faces trial.
After the Bristol Crown Court case, Mubarak Mohamud, imam at the Al-Baseera mosque, said: "Our initial reaction was shock and bewilderment. But we teach tolerance."
