The tactics on both sides make me wince. I think the problem is Mr. Baker was expected to be a good Dhimmi, and didn’t play along.

I love it. By the way, Sabrina. YOU'RE the igorant one. Espcecially as a Jew, you should have some kind of sense as to what Islam is about. I was born in Northern Iraq as a Christian and left at the age of 2 due to Muslims taxing and bullying us around EVERY DAY. You have no clue as to what Islam truly is. What Mr. Baker is doing is great and I would love to support him, even from here in Orange County, CA. We ALL need to put our foot down and say NO for a change. "NO" to things we, as Society, don't WANT to do but feel we MUST in order to appease everyone else. WHY?! I heard the leader of the Katy Islam Society speak on TV about the purchase of the property next to the Baker ranch. He speaks of wanting to add Muslum schools, Gyms, Muslim apartments to make a Muslim community. Last I checked, there are Millions of Muslim communities all over the Middle East that I'm sure would love to accomodate this Islamic group. Also, if they are SOOO interested in staying in the West, THEY, not US need to be more flexible in respecting OUR rights and appeasing OUR ways. We need to wake up and understand that turning traditional family property such as the Baker farm, which has been in the family for 200 years, should NEVER be sold and turned into Muslim territory. No matter what you hear about Islam, especially the Shi'ite sect, it preaches and teaches INTOLERANCE of Westerners and "Infidels", or "Non-Muslims". Good for you Mr. Baker. I will pray that you stay and NOT move to appease this group. Thank you and God bless you. Way to go Mr. Baker!! I love it. By the way, Sabrina. YOU’RE the igorant one.

As a 7 year Katy resident, I knew our little town had some intolerance (I am one of few Jewish people in the area), but this is an outrage. Sleeper cells are the real fear and we can only hope that the area's upstanding Muslims will not go that route, since most of them consider themselves the Westerners/infidels that the true terrorists would incude in their lists persons to hate... How can Katy be a multicultrual communtity (which it is, folks- open your eyes to the beautiful range of "browns" around you) without truly serving it's members with a place of worship? I am relieved to read some agree with my position on this topic. I am completely embarrassed by this whole thing.

Craig Baker has set up a website to tell his side of the story. It is complete with date, full names, events, & even times. Take a little time to get your facts straight before opening your mouth o a subject. The site is www.americanpigrace.com then once you know more about a subject, post an opinion that you won't have to be embarrassed about. ha ha lol Hey Polimom you need to save your embarrasment for when there is some thing to be embarrassed about.
