Once in U.S. history an episode of Islamic terrorism was very quickly
stopped. It happened in the Philippines about 1911, when Gen. John J.
Pershing was in command of the garrison. There had been numerous Islamic
terrorist attacks, so "Black Jack" told his boys to catch the perps and
teach them a lesson.
Forced to dig their own graves, the terrorists were all tied to posts,
execution style. The U.S. soldiers then brought in pigs and slaughtered
them, rubbing their bullets in the blood and fat. Thus, the terrorists
were terrorized; they saw that they would be contaminated with hogs'
blood. This would mean that they could not enter Heaven, even if they
died as terrorist martyrs.
All but one was shot, their bodies dumped into the grave, and the hog
guts dumped atop the bodies. The lone survivor was allowed to escape
back to the terrorist camp and tell his brethren what happened to the
others. This brought a stop to terrorism in the Philippines for the next
50 years. Pointing a gun into the face of Islamic terrorists won't make
them flinch.
They welcome the chance to die for Allah. Like Gen. Pershing, we must
show them that they won't get to Muslim heaven (which they believe has
an endless supply of virgins) but instead will die with the hated pigs
of the devil.
That's right. Use their own beliefs to back them off. Rub down mortar
shells and missiles with pig's blood soaked rags. Dip bullet tips in the
blood prior to their being attached to the shells. The spectre of going
to hell creates far more fear in the mind of a religious zealot, so if
these folks in Afghanistan want a war, we'll give 'em one. One in which
dying in any manner means an immediate trip to hell. Do you think
they'll still want it, then?
