(11/29/06 - KTRK/KATY, TX) - There's an awful lot of exciting news when you round the corner on Baker Road. One of two big yellow signs announces a new neighbor is coming soon.
"It's not an appropriate place to have a mosque or church," said resident Barbara Simpson.
It isn't going over real well.
"As a house of worship, they shouldn't be disturbing the peace and tranquility of 15 homes," said resident John Wetmore.
Neighbors tell us they're concerned about traffic and drainage and a little fear of the unknown. Some of the homeowners even offered to buy the land back for more than a million dollars. The K.I.A. doesn't seem very interested in the offers.
"We're not going anywhere," said Katy Islamic Association member Alvi Muzfar.
So it seems the community at the end of Baker Road has a pretty good fight. But this fight has gone much farther than many between two neighbors. You see in these fights, sometimes neighbors throw mud at one another. In this instance, they're wallowing in it.
Craig Baker owns pigs. He's the guy behind the second big yellow sign on Baker Road. That's the one announcing Friday night pig races.
"What does it matter, I can do whatever I want with my land right," asked landowner Craig Baker.
Sure can. But aren't pigs on the property line racing on a Friday night a little offensive to a Muslim neighbor?
"The meat of a pig is prohibited in the religion of Islam," said Katy Islamic Association member Youssof Allam. "It's looked upon as a dirty creature."
Yeah, there's that and also that Friday night is a Muslim holy day.
"That is definitely a slap in the face," said Allam..
Now before you go thinking Craig Baker is unfair, or full of hate, or somehow racist, hear him out.
Baker has long roots here. His family named the road and when the new neighbors moved in, he tells us, they asked him to move out.
"Basically that I should package up my family and my business and find a place elsewhere," said Baker. "That's ridiculous, they just bought the place one week prior and he's telling me I should think about leaving."
That new owners deny they ever said anything like that, but Baker isn't budging.
Baker admits the pigs are a message he is not leaving.
The 11-acre property is sandwiched between a pricey subdivision and Craig Baker's business.
K.I.A. eventually plans to build a mosque, a gym and a school there. There's no date for the groundbreaking ceremonies, or the first pig race.

Nice catch tpaine.
Thanks.. -- Of course that same line also raises the question of how many other, more 'home grown' groups, would be hard pressed to take our Oath of Citizenship saying, "-- I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God. --"
There is a whole LOT of anti-constitutionalism going on out there..
Meet Hogzilla, big enough to feed an entire mosque of murdering muzzies.
Maybe charges against some of these 'naturalized' mohamedans are in order.

Theoretically, a naturalized citizen could lose his or her citizenship if it could be shown they lied when taking that oath.

And maybe we are long overdue requiring that same oath of all voters.
Might separate some sunshine patriots from their own big mouths.
"Theoretically, a naturalized citizen could lose his or her citizenship if it could be shown they lied when taking that oath.

Maybe we should start using lie detectors as a part of the process? Baker in this article said he would take one regarding what the muslims told him, "time to leave his land." So far, the muslims are denying they said that and are refusing Baker on his offer for a lie detector test.
Today, many businesses require a polygraph as part of pre-employment screening.
Surely we should properly screen all those who might pose a threat to our national security when they are applying for citizenship.
Because of the existing well founded suspicion of Islamic culture, it is incumbent of the developers of the local mosque to be particularly open and transparent with their plans and intentions. Otherwise, the surrounding community justifiably views their intentions with concern and dismay.
Romans 3:8 (King James Version)
Their Damnation is just IMHO... Thanks for your post LOCI
Be a pity if the pigs were to get loose one day...
I wonder if that would "desecrate" the future mosque site?
Or would that require some pig droppings being deposited there?
Sad to say, but we are at the point where the wise man tapes all business confrontations.
Ok, but I hear that "Prophet's last wife", "Honor Killing", "Pig in a Cresent Roll", and "Mo'Mad Ham" are all all strong contenders.
Pork Aerosol spray.
Thanks.
To all apologists who spread the lie that this hate group is a religion I propose you apply the following test.
> SIMPLE VALID RELIGION TEST!
We need to define what can be classified and protected as a valid religion. I suggest a few simple litmus tests that any group seeking 1st amendment protection must pass. If your belief fails any of the litmus tests below you belong to a hate group and must be expelled from the country.
#1: If your belief commands you to kill or enslave those who are not of your religion then you fail the litmus test. .
#2: If your belief commands you to kill anyone who leaves your organization then you fail the litmus test.
#3: If your belief demands you kill or enslave anyone who writes, draws, speaks negatively about your belief you fail the litmus test.
Pig races in Katy ping!
For every one or two you have lived with or known we have see thousands/millions screaming in the steets "death to America" or some other crazed hate message. Sorry a handful of mudslime who may or may not be a threat to the rest of the world does not erase the hate DEMANDED by the koran (comic book for retards). Apply the following test and tell the rest of use that is-slime should be protected as a religion.

Oh get real and stop with the Nazi scare tactics. The wonderful peace loving maggots you are trying to protect by wrapping the freedom of religion around their hate producing weapons factories (mosques) will kill or convert you if given the chance. The following test would prevent first amendment protection for hate groups hiding under the cover of a false religion.

If Mene's proposal (to raze all the mosques) doesn't scare you, you are part of the problem. If you can't see how Reichkristallnacht is a historical event that is directly on point, then you have learned nothing from history.
Ahhhh, but it's a very well-travelled pig ! :)
"You then who teach others, do you not teach yourself? While you preach against stealing, do you steal? You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law."- Romans 2:21-23
I've had it up to here with the sanctimonious posters who think its a sign of their piety to advocate genocide of Muslims or to desecrate their shrines and holy places.
And regarding your screenname, "Wurlitzer," I think you've made it quite clear just which organ you are.
