We have the right like any one of them

Just remember those words when the pig races start.

....and one man threatening to hold pig races on Fridays...

...will he have the top ten in a points race?

What do you think is more fun: watching Muslims or watching pigs?

[MeanWestTexan]

As stated in the article, they don't hate pigs, they merely don't eat them.

Huge signs supporting Israel would be more offensive to them.

Who will be the first to smear the door handles with pig grease?

Or invite the Mohammedan kids over for a greased pig chasing contest.

watching pigs chase Muslims

Think! Think! People!

This is Southeast Texas. Have a freakin barbecue! Let the delicious smell of prokchops wiff through the windows of the mosque. Hell, call it a welcome to the neighborhood party...Texas style!

Muslims do not hate pigs, he said; they just don't eat them.

Then why are they up in arms about pig-shaped toys?

Me thinks Houston suburbs need a BBQ Pork stand on every corner...

[Proverbs 3-5]

"Muslims do not hate pigs, he said; they just don't eat them." Then why are they up in arms about pig-shaped toys?

I also recall reading a year or so ago that banks in London have banned piggy banks

As stated in the article, they don't hate pigs, they merely don't eat them.

Oh, yes they do. Pigs, dogs, women, men, jews, christians, even other muslims.

on any given day their right hand hates their left hand.

Don't forget dogs.

Man's best friend.

The Houston metropolitan area has about 170,000 Muslims, according to the Islamic Society of Greater Houston, and among their many mosques is one built in Houston by former NBA star Hakeem Olajuwon.

It's worse than I thought. Assuming only 10% are hard-core Al-Q sympathizers, then Houston has a 17,000 potential terrorists, waiting to strike from their mosques.

Baker, who makes marble and granite fixtures for kitchens and bathrooms and also owns livestock, said he got so mad he put up a sign announcing the pig races.

(Baker's attempt to offend missed its mark, according to Fotouh. Muslims do not hate pigs, he said; they just don't eat them.)

Then he ought to plan some dog shows and use the part of his property that adjoins the Muzzie site as an off-the-leash dog park.

This story is classic!! Maybe after the races they can do some pulled pork BBQ. I gladly offer my services!

"Would you and your family safely and comfortably live next to this 11-acre Muslim mosque and facilities?"

No I can't say I would want to live next door to them. I also don't know why the Muslims wouldn't look for land where they aren't upsetting people. They seem to just do whatever they want without regard to other people's wishes and feelings. Yet God forbid we upset them in any way.
