Landowner protests a Mosque with Pig Races

From Jihadi Du Jour

This little piggie went to market, this little piggie went...

KATY, TEXAS - While Kamel Fotouh makes plans to build a mosque on 11 acres of pasture here, neighbor Craig A. Baker is making plans of his own - plans to hold pig races.


Baker figures he'll need a tent, souvenirs and a track for the pigs to race on, all in full view of the Muslims next door, for whom pigs are forbidden as food.


As a bonus, Baker will host the competition on Friday - a Muslim holy day.


This is not meant as a slur on Islam, Baker said. It's a dispute between two neighbors. "A lot of people are making this into a racist situation, a redneck guy from Texas saying 'We're going to put on pig races,' " he said. "But I'm standing up for property rights."

I guess we will see how the Constitution reads on this one.



Meanwhile the Association of Pig Enthusiasts and the Property Is God-given rights advocacy group (aka APEs and PIGs) have published a joint publication of Law Enforcement Official's Guide to Pig Racing.

Suggestions include:


It is offensive to call pigs swine. As we do not call police "pigs", so similar restraint is requested.


You must be very sensitive during feeding times. Do not disturb a pig while it is facing the trough eating slop. This occurs at least 5 times daily.


Pigs refuse to be eaten by Muslims. So don't even ask.

Well the short parody at the end is my opinion...What is yours? And does the man's property rights protect him?
