Neighbor Threatens Mosque With Pig Races

[MommaSquid]

A plan to build a mosque in this Houston suburb has triggered a neighborhood dispute, with community members warning that it will become a terrorist hotbed and one man threatening to hold pig races on Fridays just to offend the Muslims.

Many neighborhood residents say they have nothing against Muslims and are more concerned about property values, drainage and traffic.

But one resident has set up an anti-Islamic Web site with an odometer-like counter that keeps track of terrorist attacks since Sept. 11, 2001. A committee has formed to buy another property and offer to trade it for the Muslims' land. And Craig Baker has threatened to race pigs on the edge of the property on the Muslim holy day. Muslims consider pigs unclean and do not eat pork.

"The neighbors have created havoc for us, and we didn't expect that," said engineer Kamel Fotouh, president of the 500-member Katy Islamic Association.

Would the Muslim's actually give a shit if he raced pigs?
If he had a big-ass pig roast or let them loose in the mosque, maybe, but a race, I doubt it.

They probably wouldn't care if he stood across the street eating a giant pig...they have pig meat for sale in Muslim countries and it doesn't seem to bother them there.  Pigs aren't sacred..they are unclean; why should they care if others are making themselves unclean.  Now, if Hindus were trying to move into the neighborhood threatening to race cows might work.

That idiot may want to check city ordinances (not to mention the constitution...freedom of religion) before racing pigs down the street...in many cities and suburbs it is illegal to keep farm animals.  Btw, why Fridays?  I thought Muslims worshiped on Saturday.

These dumb rednecks need to get a grip on reality and stop thinking that all Muslims are bad....the quickest way to make more terrorists is to treat all Muslims as if they are terrorists (when most really aren't).

If the muslims tasted bacon accidently would they immediately convert, because bacon is soooo damn tasty?
