He should name it Hollywood Pork: Texas farmer holds pig races next to new mosque

pigs mosque

This story is from 2008, but we’d never seen it until it was emailed to us by Miles, the Editor’s tax guy:

A group of Muslims bought some land in Texas, but apparently never bothered to check out how the neighboring land was being used. That was an unfortunate lapse, because the land adjacent to the planned mosque was a pig farm.

The owner of the pig farm got pissed off when the Imam called him a liar at a local planning commission meeting. So instead of getting rid of his pigs he built a track and began training the porkers to race. Now he holds pig races each week during the mosque’s Friday night services.

The pig races are pretty funny on their own, but as far as we’re concerned, the highlight of the video clip is right at the beginning when Shep Smith tries to keep a straight face while his production crew cracks up in the background.

  • I keep this in one of favorite files just to go back and scroll some of the best of the web when I feel the walls closing in and want to say screwit, it's not worth the fight... the look on Shep's face and laughter in the background always give me a lift.

  • The pig farmer was there first. The muslims KNEW it was a pig farm. They are in OUR country and should learn some tolerance. Actually, we have been so "tolerant" and "politically correct" to the point of appearing timid and cowardly. Mr Pig Farmer, you hang in there!

  • Imam's are used to telling people what to do. Well guess what, this ain't the Middle East, we like pork chops and applesauce, the last Muslim leader that pissed us off we sent over one hundred Tomahawk missles his way.

  • It'd be a shame if some of those pigs happened to escape the pens and wandered over onto the neighbor's land. Those damn pigs are always getting out you know. Hard to control. Sure hope they wont take a crap while on the neighbors land.

  • So 30 Muslims can't manage to find an acceptable mosque out of the 60 in Houston? Well, ok. Maybe its a distance thing, they want something closer to where they live. Fine. So the guy goes out and buys property next to a pig farm, then wants the owner to MOVE or get rid of his pigs? I don't think so. And the farmer has offered to buy the as yet undeveloped property so they can lok for a more appropriate site. But NOOOOOOOO. They want THAT site, with he and his pigs run out of town. There are test cases like this going on all over the US to see how far American law can be pushed to support Muslim activity. All Muslims. no. But it's a plan of action that will affect all of us none the less.

    • Ding, ding, ding, ding....

      EXACTLY!!!!!

      This is a test run. How far can you NUDGE a regular American citizen and how far you can use the law in your favor to further nudge that American citizen to bend to the will of Islam/Sharia.

      If we let them take an inch and let them settle in it comfortably they WILL:

      -Take the whole country through using our own laws against us
      -Change the laws to suit their needs
      -Birth us out of existence

      You are exactly right. This is all this is a way to know if they can take over the more "rural" part of the country, moving away from the urban areas and see if those wide open spaces are easy to be plucked and used for their purposes. I am sure this man is hating on his neighbor way before the neighbor did this, JUST because the neighbor said "no thank you I was here first." Muslim excel in land grabs that is the foundation of the religion. There is great power in having the most land and using the resources of the land and successfully subjugating or removing the people in the land. At this point in time he cannot legally kill his neighbor but if he could through sharia the Texan man would not be alive right now.

  • That farmer should try to reconcile with his neighbor by offering him some bacon, pork chops, ham or such. I'm sure the imam would appreciate that. :)
