Muslims galled by Tinawat's pig-fat jibe (Part two)

Muslims galled by Tinawat's pig-fat jibe

                   Islamic community told to stay united

                   A Thai Rak Thai MP who emailed President George Bush suggesting he drop pig-fat
                   bombs on Islamic terrorists has invoked the wrath of his colleagues.

                   Tinawat Maruekapitak, a list-MP, said he told the US president he could forsake
                   nuclear-tipped rockets and Tomahawk cruise missiles and instead use pig-fat bombs
                   or spray pork fat from planes when he retaliates for last week's attacks.

                   Suranand Vejjajiva, Thai Rak Thai spokesman, said Mr Tinawat's action was ``totally
                   inconsiderate to people's feelings and insensitive to the delicate situation the nation
                   faces''. He should choose his words more carefully.

                   ``Individual opinions can, of course, be expressed in a democratic country like
                   Thailand. But one must be held responsible for his or her words. In this case Mr
                   Tinawat's point of view is not that of Thai Rak Thai's, and he is to be condemned for
                   his poor suggestion,'' Mr Suranand said. Mr Tinawat's conduct would be raised at a
                   party meeting today.

                   Imron Maruleem, a Muslim senator, said Mr Tinawat's action would upset the local
                   Islamic community.

                   ``I don't know who got him into saying this. He might not know that the Muslims do
                   not find this kind of joke funny, particularly at this time. He has unnecessarily stirred
                   hatred against himself,'' Mr Imron said.

                   In a televised address, Sawas Sumalayasak, a Muslim spiritual leader, called on Thai
                   Muslims to remain united and comply with the government's policy regarding the US
                   attacks.

                   Former foreign minister Surin Pitsuwan, a senior Democrat and a Muslim, said Mr
                   Tinawat acted childishly without thinking of the consequences.

                   Mr Tinawat said he had sent off the email with good intentions and had not intended
                   to offend Muslims.

Not to mention completely hilarious.

To win this war, we get Pakistan's help, and then give Afganastan to Pakistan when we are done.

I remember a guy in the Air Force who wanted to drop pig carcasses onto the town squares of major Muslim cities. He figured the sight of pigs expoding and pork shrapnel splattering all over the populace might be seen as a cataclysmic event.

I just ate a ham sandwich. I was thinking how great it would be to send Osama Bin Laden a ham sandwich by airmail and make him eat it. For desert perhaps some depleted Uranium slugs.

As an Iowan, I vote we eat the pork tenderloins and send the gristle over, not the good bits.

We need to use this pork business after we get bin Laden. Or more precisely make it known. Well KNOWN that anything dropped into their area ready to explode will have a bag of pig entrails attached externally! So that pig/pork guts are going to fly f--a---r and WIDE!

Why under Heaven should this offend ordinary, law-abiding Muslims???

Bin Ladin and his fellow sons of whores are going to hell anyway....right, imams?

Right?

Hello, imams...are you out there?

Along those lines, my highly unofficial sources have us preparing to use a new cluster warhead for the first time. Called the SHR-82P, it dispenses a payload of 318 jumbo shrimp. It can be mounted in the CEM dispenser, in the JSOW, or in the TLAM-D.

Believe it or not but read thread 1, other countries have done things like this and it worked! But we need to take the terrorists out at the same time. By using a pork item with the warhead, you gain the psychological advantage that they know in advance that when they die they are going straight to Hell!!

They wanted our people to call their parents to let them know what was to happen. Pay them back the same way!

Maybe he was implying in his creative suggestion that we should drop Jerold Nadler (D-NY) on them , that is, if our Air Force had a plane that could take off with that much of a payload. NADLER---the other greasy fat meat.

Some gift. What is Pakistan going to do with it, when the British and the Russians could not run the place.

An historical precedent:
In one of the more bizarre episodes of warfare in the ancient world, the Romans attempted to use flaming pigs to frighten off the war elephants of King Pyrrhus of Epiros. The pigs were apparently covered with pitch, ignited, and stampeded towards the Epirotes. It was not a stunningly successful innovation.

It would be a futile gesture. bin Laden and Hussein are not Muslims, they are murderous infidels.

Does anyone remember a political cartoon years and years ago right after the Ayatollah Khomeini died that showed him being ushered into a place, ostensibly hell, by someone saying "The great Satan will see you now" and Satan waiting beyond the door was the grinning twin of Jimmy Carter?
