Pig Farm Pisses Off Muslims
Louie is laughing his ass off. He wants to fly out there for the weekend and help stir stuff up.
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.
Selangor’s new state government sprung a surprise last week by announcing efforts to open a 100 million ringgit (US$32 million; €20 million) pig farm by early next year on the state’s outskirts near Kuala Lumpur.
The state’s chief minister, Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, is a Muslim, but he is part of a multiethnic opposition alliance that took control of five state legislatures, including Selangor, in last month’s general elections.
The opposition’s inroads were helped by its pledge to promote justice for all ethnic communities. About 60 percent of Malaysia’s 27 million people are ethnic Malay Muslims, 25 percent are Chinese, who are mostly Buddhist and Christian, and 8 percent are Indians, most of them Hindu.
Malaysia is one of Southeast Asia’s biggest pork producers. But the industry — operated by the ethnic Chinese — remains a sensitive subject.
But Abdul Khalid, the chief minister, defended the plan, saying it would be environmentally safe and provide a centralized venue for all pig rearing in Selangor.
The project “will be implemented fairly in line with multiethnic harmony,” Abdul Khalid said in a statement.

April 9th, 2008 at 8:44 pmThe only stench is that which comes from the mouth of a mooslum.
April 9th, 2008 at 11:24 pmI have a ghanaian friend who lives in an area of Accra(the capital) in Ghana called Pig Farm. It is the most depressed area and is ironically predominantly muslim. Ghanaian muslims tend to not be fanatical which is why they take no offense to this.
April 9th, 2008 at 11:37 pmJules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don’t eat filthy animals.
April 10th, 2008 at 3:47 amVincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I’d never know ’cause I wouldn’t eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That’s a filthy animal. I ain’t eat nothin’ that ain’t got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don’t eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we’d have to be talkin’ about one charmin’ motherfuckin’ pig. I mean he’d have to be ten times more charmin’ than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I’m sayin’?
I have had enough of this muslim bullshit!! I think we need to hold a counter-protest, maybe a “Porkchops across Malaysia” kind of like hands across America, except it won’t be in America it will be in Malaysia. And we can touch the porkchops that we are going to be holding instead of holding hands.
April 10th, 2008 at 4:49 amWhat do you think Louie? If I have offended you by promoting the slaughter of your kin, I would apologize except pork tastes good, so does bacon and ham.
Nothing like smoked pulled pork, delish. BTW, I’m sick of seeing the single singlemuslim.com ad to the right supplied by google. I honestly think that thing is there half the time I come here.
April 10th, 2008 at 5:44 amI hear Muslims when hit by a JADAMs or arty smell just like bacon when they are “cooked” by such ammo. Maybe that’s why they are so pissed. After all cooked bacon smells just like cooked Mooseheads. They just don’t want to be reminded of their futures all the time.
Poor sensitive babies.

…but wiping your ass with your hand and bumping uglies with children and the local farm animals is just fine right mohammad?

Hell, i am worried the number of muslims will increase and the environment will be polluted with the stench of muslims, which is equal to pig waste, so why can’t we elimnate them as well, the EPA should start emptying the Muslim populations of the US to eliminate the air pollution
