KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: A plan to build a major pig farm outside Malaysia's largest city has triggered protests by some Muslim residents whose religion considers the animal unclean.
About 200 people carrying banners staged a demonstration outside the Selangor state government's office Wednesday and handed a protest note to officials, the national news agency Bernama reported.
"We are worried that the number of pigs will increase and the environment will be polluted with the stench of pig waste," Bernama quoted a protester, Mohamad Tarmudi Tushiran, as saying.
Prominent newspapers published letters Wednesday from angry Muslims.
"They are challenging Muslims and stirring protests because a pig farm that involves such huge expenses is inappropriate for a country where Islam is the official religion," Mohamed Idris Abu Bakar, a federal government lawmaker, told the Malay-language Berita Harian newspaper.

“..a pig farm that involves such huge expenses is inappropriate for a country where Islam is the official religion..”

I guess it’s “my way” or the “camel way,” la?
We always knew Arnold would make us proud and be successful in the business world.
Preferably it would be right next to a mosque.
And more preferably, upwind of it.
preferably it would be IN the mosque...better now...:)
Let’s see...who would I want living next to me....200 pigs, or 200 muslims?
I don’t think I’d want to be downwind of a mosque either.
It’s a shame they’d do that to pigs. I am sure they don’t want to be around a bunch of sorry muslims.
I'm sorry but the stench would be horrendous! I would have to go with the pigs!
Cant be any worse than stench of Muslims
The muslims ought to be glad instead. We do not want baked mohammedan on our plates. And this without adding “yet”.
” know the perfect place for that pig farm.”
While I understand your sentiment, as an Israeli and Jew, I would respectfully disagree that a pig farm is appropriate on the Temple Mount.
The Mount may currently be the place where the Arabs emplaced their mosque -—
But is it still the location where God stayed Abraham’s hand in the almost-sacrifice of Issac;
It is still the location of Soloman’s Temple where God appeared and accepted sacrifices for sins; and
(For Christians) the location where Jesus disrupted the Court of the Gentiles because (and this was quite a legitimate problem, in my opinion) the Temple leaders were conducting businesses, instead of bringing knowledge of God to all people.
Muslim residents whose religion considers the animal unclean.....
Muslims offend pigs everywhere!
