Texas Man Stages Pig Races to Protest Islamic Neighbor's Plans to Build Mosque

LOL, this is funny! Go get'em Craig Baker!

Way to go Texas!



KATY, Texas — When an Islamic group moved in next door and told Craig Baker the pigs on his family's 200-year-old Texas farm had to go, he and his swine decided to fight back.

In protest of being asked to move, Davis began staging elaborate pig races on Friday afternoons -- one of the Islamic world's most holy days.

That is like building homes next to a range or an airport and demanding that they close down.

Who was there first?

Pig Races

Next the Muslims will want every religious denomination to induce a "Karan Sensitivity" program into their sunday mass and services.

Those that forge their own chains.

The Baker family was there first, since the 1800's, it's an old ricee farming community and now suburb of Houston. After the Muslim group bought the property, they asked the family to relocate according to local reports.

LOL good on him!

Considering the farmer has had that property in his family for a couple of centuries it's obvious that the group is trying to stir the pot.

I love that. "Hey, buddy, I know your family has been there for 200 years, but you mind moving into the country a bit further so you don't upset us? We don't like your swine."

Ought to let one loose in the mosque.

Better yet, I'd let it slip that my family was burying dead pigs on "their" property for centuries, until it was sold to them of course.

Considering that they've had their farm for 200 years, you might not be far from the mark!!

"Pig racers, pig racers, let us in.

Not by the hair of our chinny-chin-chins..."

Here's hoping that Mr. Baker has enough support to keep them from blowing his house down.
