Craig Baker thought a neighboring mosque wanted his land, so in a tit-for-tat move, he started racing pigs.

But the attempt at aggression fell flat when Baker found out that Muslims don’t actually hate pigs.

“I don’t care if he races, roasts or slaughters pigs,” said Yousef Allam, a spokesman for the Katy Islamic Association in Katy, a Houston suburb.

Earlier this month, Baker conceded that the Muslims probably aren’t after his land, but he said he had to go through with the pig races because “I would be like a total idiot if I didn’t. I’d be the laughingstock now because I’ve gone too far.”
