Calif. Guard Targeted Over Pig-Blood Flier

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Islamic leaders and peace groups are criticizing the California National Guard for a flier posted in its headquarters suggesting the United States execute Islamic terrorists with bullets dipped in pig's blood to deny them entry to heaven.

The flier attributed the practice to World War I General John J. Pershing.

"Maybe it is time for this segment of history to repeat itself, maybe in Iraq?" the flier stated. It was posted outside a cubicle in the Guard's Civil Support Division.

A second flier showed the wings and tail of a bomber forming a peace sign with the slogan, "Peace the old fashioned way."

Also posted was a cartoon from a Web site showing a Red Crescent ambulance stuffed with weapons and a caricature that looks like the late-Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat unloading the weapons.

Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Doug Hart at first defended the postings to the San Jose Mercury News, which reported them Tuesday, but Hart later said they had been removed.

Peace activists spotted the fliers during a tour last week.

The tour came after peace groups and a state senator questioned whether a new Guard unit had been formed to spy on U.S. citizens and had monitored a Mother's Day anti-war rally. A federal investigation of the allegations is underway.

"It's troubling to see a governmental organization dedicated to the security of our country promoting culturally and religiously insensitive ideas," said William Youmans, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Santa Clara. "It's very possible to combat terrorism without offending the cultural values of a major world religion."

Horrors! Hand me the smelling salts!!!/S

[lilylangtree]

Outstanding idea! The islamics will be washing themselves forever thereby making themselves unavailable for any more terrorist attacks.

He didn't behead anyone - what's the big deal?

Bravo Sierra!

(... also, islam is a Death Cult, not a religion...)

[Leatherneck_MT]

If the Islamofascists are screaming, then this is EXACTLY what we need to do.

Go one step further. Bury those maggots inside the dead body of a pig. Let's see how much religious fervor they keep then.

I like it

[digger48]

But it's alright to offend the cultural values of Christians

[Saint Reagan]

Dear William Youmans,
Get a life.

[joe fonebone]

terrorists are murders...........feed them pork and kill them!!!!!!!!!!!!!

===================================================

No, William, this time it's different. We have to kill them before they kill us. Duh.

Damned good idea ...

[bannie]

Perfect idea!

THIS IS THE WAY TO TERRORIZE THEM.

Whoopie!!!

LOL! Is it indeed! Prithee, how does one fight a war in such a way?
Its possible in some esoteric universe perhaps, but not in this one.
Too bad you are "troubled"...are you just as "troubled" when your buds call the us the "Great Satan" or is that just some nuanced allegory?

You can take the pig blood story that way too.

In short, if you are offended and "troubled", ts.

[Saint Reagan]

Personally I think the practice of dipping bullets in pig-blood is totally inappropriate. Why waste a perfectly good pig on someone going to hell anyways?

[stevio]

I agree. It could make the bullet inaccurate. Issue every soldier and marine a pound of bacon. One kill, one slice of bacon in their mouth. The problem is, we don't play to win.

A guy who will blow up innocent children does not deserve to be treated sensitively. If there is some way to insure that he will not be rewarded for such acts in this life or in the next then we should "just do it"... "for the children"

Pigs blood or no, does anyone really think these terrorists are going to Heaven?

How the frig would he know. His "religion" gave birth to these terrorists.

These creeps? So now their true colors as a fifth column stirring-up trouble with Islamic groups come to light.

[TBarnett34]

"It's very possible to combat terrorism without offending the cultural values of a major world religion."

CAIR is absolutely correct about this.

We could simply nuke every single Islamokazi terror-sponsoring country, instead.

Fair enough?

[roylene]

The poster of the flier should be targeted - for an award!

[cweese]

The flier attributed the practice to World War I General John J. Pershing.

I think this has been thoroughly debunked as urban legend.

[Delphinium]

Do they think we should hope these terrorists make heaven?

[Fierce Allegiance]

I think the guard should do a little "tour" of the peace activists hangouts and report what they don't like to the media.

[Saint Reagan]

Okay, but give me enough notice to get the hell out of here first.

[Truth is a Weapon]

But it is not about what we think but what they think.

[river rat]

"It's very possible to combat terrorism without offending the cultural values of a major world religion."

Someone should have asked the Muslim - Peace Activist -- HOW?

HOW -- when terrorism is the chosen technique to implement Muslim ideology?

MASSIVE destruction of the enemy (Islamic) nations -- or the threat of extinction have been the successful techniques for protecting our civilization from threats of the past....

I believe it should still work.

Semper Fi

[TBarnett34]

Okay, but give me enough notice to get the hell out of here first.

Spending the summer in France? ;)

"It's very possible to combat terrorism without offending the cultural values of a major world religion."

Well we wouldn't want to offend the delicate sensibilities of scums who blow up children now would we??? {Barf!} I have no problem dipping bullets in pigs' blood, but how much does Hillary have to go around????

[skimbell]

This thread was posted yesterday and the most enlightening post concernend General Pershing who dealt with Islamic madmen during his time too.

Pershing had 49 of 50 terrorist that he'd captured shot and buried in pigskins in front of the 50th who was then released. That ended that and 42 years of no muslim terrorism after that indicates that he handled the problem pretty well.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

As I recall, the Chechnian terrorists who held an entire theater audience hostage in Moscow a few years ago were buried by the Russians in pig skin. I guess if one arrives in the presence of "Allah" in pig skin, he loses out on the 70 virgins, etc.

[NRA1995]

"It's very possible to combat terrorism without offending the cultural values of a major world religion."

Well, sir, when said religion's "cultural values" include flying airplanes into skyscrapers and blowing up buses and subways, don't be surprised to hear the strains of the world's tiniest violin playing a song of sympathy for you. Furthermore, as Ann Coulter said in jest, "Nuke their countries and convert the survivors to Christianity"

[Mylo]

Actually Christianity is much in the mold of the the "Death cults" of Osiris and Mithra popular in Rome around the time of the rise of Roman Christianity. They thought that through the sacrificial death of Osiris/Mithra/Jesus represented in a ceremony, they would escape their own death and have eternal life.

It's very possible to combat terrorism without offending the cultural values of a major world religion.

ERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! Incorrect answer. Thank you for playing.

[LIConFem]

Oh, okay. Personally, I don't care one whit what they think, but whatever works for ya...

[OXENinFLA]

You don't use blood. You use pig fat. Lubes the barrel better......

[boxerblues]

thanks for the link...how'd I miss that one

[speed_addiction]

Thet Chechans who took the theater hostage in Moscow a couple of years ago were wrapped in pigskin before being buried. Nothing wrong with that that I can see.


With Howard Dean the dems have formally graduated from "disarray" to "debacle", with "irretrievable disaster" just around the corner.

[LongElegantLegs]

You think a pound of bacon will survive for more than a day in the hands of a Marine living primarily off MREs?
I doubt it. How about pickled pig's feet?

[easonc52]

No, William, this time it's different. We have to kill them before they kill us. Duh.

That about covers the entire issue...

Claim: General John J. Pershing effectively discouraged Muslim terrorists in the Philippines by killing them and burying their bodies with pigs.

Status: Undetermined.

[cweese]

Oooh, I hadn't read that. Thanks for clarifying with the link!

[texasbluebell]

Can I be offended that CAIR is offended?

Or is that not allowed at this point in history?

[cvq3842]

I know what you mean . . .

[stevio]

Ok, sure.

[layman]

execute Islamic terrorists with bullets dipped in pig's blood

I am all for this idea, but no doubt a Mullah would announce that if a Jihadist dies from a pig blood bullet, Allah will reward him with 140 virgins instead of 70 ... and the ignorant Islamofacist dupes will believe it.
