The "demonising of Muslims" by people like Pauline Hanson is to blame for a pig's head being dumped outside the school gates of Brisbane's Islamic College, its chairman says.

Police are investigating after CCTV showed a group of men dropping the carcass and a swastika-adorned backpack in front of the premises at about 11.30pm local time yesterday.

Acting College chairman Ali Kadri told AAP people like the One Nation leader had "absolutely" incited the incident and were "doing the same thing" as Isis by spreading propaganda.

"The shock jocks and politicians are mainstream demonising Muslims and Islam," he said today. "If Isis is going to do propaganda and target Muslims to make them do stupid actions, I think people like ... Pauline Hanson are doing the same thing.

"They're the same kind of hate crimes. They have to take responsibility for what they say."

Kadri said it wasn't the first time a pig's head had been left outside a Muslim property.

One was dropped outside a mosque in Holland Park in Brisbane's south about 18-months ago. But Kadri said the school had never previously been a target.

"For those who have done this, I don't understand why they think targeting children and women is fair game," he said.

Kadri praised the police response to the incident, describing it as "phenomenal".

"We don't believe there is any threat to safety of staff and kids," he posted on Facebook. "Right-wing extremists including some politicians and shock jocks who demonise Islamic schools are responsible for this."
