TJones Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I guess the losing pigs will be served up as bacon and taken over to the Mosque as part of the welcome wagon ? btw, are you saying to avoid Katy because of the pig races or because Katy has a few Muslims living here ? Thank you Mr. Richards. !VIVA LA OINKERS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Since they're racing pigs, I assume that Craig Baker has his own running shoes on. He'll fit right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfootball Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 What is the neighborhood that property backs up to? They can hardly be thrilled to have an Islamic center going in next door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmainguy Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 btw, are you saying to avoid Katy because of the pig races or because Katy has a few Muslims living here ?I'm saying nothing says property values like Friday night pig races.Critics raise concerns about traffic congestion, flooding, possible adverse impact on property values and the "unknown."

TheNiche Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 this is hilarioustheres nothin to get up in arms aboutin the end theyll likely be friends when the association brings turkey bacon to the raceAgreed. This really is pig s*** for news. I can't help but wonder if there are just a few vocal instigators that are getting most of the coverage, with the HOA overreacting in a childish and BANANA-like way (as is pretty common among HOAs).

nmm Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Few concerns that a community may have:-Traffic Congestion could be a serious problem, especially if it isnt a 'big road' like Westheimer, Richmond, Memorial, W Little York, Fry, etc.-No they arent allowed to blare the call to prayer over the loudspeaker so the whole community can hear. And thats all i can think of. If i were in this Muslim community i would be against the Masjid idea. Mostly because, if my neighbors dont want me in their neighborhood, then i think its wisdom to avoid the neighborhood. Otherwise, your going to argue over petty issues incessently until the Day of Reckoning arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
