Controversy[edit]

Katy, Texas was the subject of a number of news stories in 2006 when a local Muslim group attempted to build a mosque in the town. The local residents strongly objected and were subject to intimidation from the local Muslims. In response, the owner of a neighboring property began holding weekly pig races on Friday.^[1]
