Pig races used to show mosque is not welcome

How could someone be offended by these cuddly pink slabs of salty breakfast meats? These are stars in the making just like Seabiscuit and Secretariat. Well, the Katy islamic association doesn't and told the owner, Craig Baker, to pack up and move, saying "a mosque and a marble shop didn't go too good together." The islamic association denies the comment was made and claims they came into the community with open arms.
Besides fear of the unknown, residents have raised concerns over how this mosque will look and effect property values. Parking, traffic congestion and drainage issues are all going to be addressed with the county. Even though no permits have been applied for, construction on a parking lot has already started. Yep, we muslims don't want to cause any problems here. Craig Baker said the pig races will begin before the end of the year. I will bring the results to you as soon as I get the whine-o-gram.

So... would there be a problem if it were a Christian church of some description? Or is it just that Americans don't like Muslims?

Now Jacob, you got the whine-o-gram. Did any of the residents say they had a problem with muslims? No. The problem is the massive structure that's going to lower property value and create traffic jams on the small country road. I'm sure we wouldn't be hearing about this if it were a church or synagogue.

The issue is how the islamic association just took it upon themselves to start construction with total disregard for the law. No permits were applied for and the blueprints for the building have yet to be approved by the county. That's the problem.

I WONDER IF PERMITS WERE APPLIED FOR AS I DON'T KNOW OF MANY "SWINE RACETRACKS" IN THIS COUNTRY. MAYBE A VARIANCE WAS GIVEN CONSIDERING THE MAIN ROAD IS NAMED AFTER THIS GUYS FAMILY

All the more reason, anonymous, to sell the land back to the residents.

Well, regardless of whether you're not "A LOWER CASE KINDA GUY" it's extremely irritating, and it makes you look stupid. Stop it.
