"In the years preceding World War I, General John J. 'Black Jack" Pershing was commander of the American forces in the Philippines.
The small Moslem community on the island nation began to wreak havoc against the Philippine government and American forces.
The American troops captured a large group of these terrorists. During the interrogation by the Military Court, the fanatics were heard to repeatedly shout, 'Allah Achbar! Allah Achbar! Jihad!
The Philippines are the lands of Islam!' Pershing ordered the Amalekites executed one by one in the presence of the whole group. (The author is referring to the prophecy in the Bible that the Amalekites would be a very vicious and war like people down through history.)
Moslems will not eat pork believing that no one could enter Paradise if there is even the smallest amount of swine flesh in their bodies.
Knowing this, the General first ordered the firing squad to shoot large hogs.
After they skinned the swine, the executioners rolled their bullets in pork fat and passed fat through the barrels of their rifles while the condemned watched.
As each condemned terrorist was executed, his corpse was wrapped in hog's skin and buried on the spot.
The entrails of the swine were dumped over the corpse before the grave was covered.
Three of the convicted Amalekites were released to take the news back to their Islamic Communities.
That ended the Islamic Jihad in the Philippines.
Terrorist incidents from Islamic Fundamentalists were unheard of until a decade ago when the U.S. State Department recognized the PLO as legitimate 'Freedom Fighters' "
(Vendyl Jones, RESEARCHER [Arlington, Texas: Vendyl Jones Research Institutes, January 2001]: 20).
A few years ago, some Israeli was proposing a special rifle bullet made with pig blood as a deterrent to Arab rioters. Evidently this proposal was shelved, possibly because of the manufacturing expense (but, if it were up to me, I would figure that using silver bullets was cost-effective if using them in one riot prevented two or three more from happening).
Since American foreign/military aid to Israel has a requirement that Israel spend much of the money on US-made supplies or equipment, I suggested that the Israeli Army use some of that money - and Very Openly and with much publicity - filling up warehouses with canned Spam - in storage as food for POWs in future wars.
(A technical note: Jews are forbidden only eating pigs, but can wear pig leather and use pig heart valves in surgery and pig insulin for diabetes, etc., but Moslems are forbidden any contact at all with any part of a pig ... and are so jazzed about it that in some Arab countries they have gone through toy stores destroying Winnie-the-Pooh stuff that includes Piglet or Muppet toys that include Miss Piggie.)
I would like to know where I can learn about the teachings of the Islamic theologians who teach this. I mean this sincerely, as I am a student of Islamic teachings. Let me know if you have any source for this. Thanks.
Hi, Jeep! Okay, I'll email him and ask. Don't be surprised if he doesn't answer me, though: He seems to be real mad at me ever since I moved to the right Ghengis Khan. LOL.
I don't know what the old Grand-da would have thought of the Jonesboro, Arkansas shootings of four students and a teacher by two of their classmates, but I can guess: He had one short encounter with a juvenile stock thief who was appropriately dealt with, followed by a private and respectful burial. Anyone, children or not, firing on schoolchildren in my Grandfather's presence would have had serious problems continuing their activities, had he been within a quarter-mile or so, and assuming he had either of his favorite rifles with him- particularly his match '03 Springfield. He'd have simply seen it as a duty that was his, performed for the unarmed kids being shot down like sheep.
That sort of atrocity was not unknown, even in his day, and not just in America. In October of 1914, two years before my Grandfather first heard his own first shots fired in anger, the Sultan of Turkey declared a holy war- Jihad!- against the British Empire. In a little Australian mining town called Broken Hill, two devout and nationalistic Turks did not receive word of this call to duty until New Years Eve. Then Gool Mahomet, an ice-cream vendor and his partner Mullah Abdullah, a butcher learned of the Sultan's call to arms and set out to do their duty.
The pair made a Turkish flag from a tablecloth, loaded Mahomet's one-horse ice-cream cart with such ammunition and supplies as could be had, and went to war with the next day's sunrise. Two miles from town, the two elderly men ambushed a miner's train carrying employees and their families for a holiday picnic. Their opening salvo killed two adults, and eight of the children who previously had thoughts only of the fun that they'd have at their holiday picnic. Eventually police and militia units responded and surrounded the makeshift stone barricade from which the Muslim fighters fought beneath their makeshift crescent flag and rejected all calls to surrender. For six hours they continued to hoarsely chant patriotic and religious songs beneath the Australian sun until finally massed volley fire cut them to ribbons.
Nowadays, I suppose, we'd call them Islamic Fundamentalists, and terrorists, but they cannot be faulted for their devotion to the beliefs for which they gave their lives and to their loyalty to each other. In the New South Wales Police Museum, a faded homemade flag, a pair of rusty rifles, and the brightly painted wheels of an ice cream cart that went to war were long on display- and may even still be there- as reminders.
If the pork doesn't work, I suggest a couple of Tactical Nukes. At the end of World War II the Japanese were ready for Banzai and Kamikaze attacks on our troops that would've cost a million casualties or more. They were prepared to "fight to the last man", but after Hiroshima and Nagasaki the starch kinda went out of their shorts. That's the way to end a war quickly. I pray that Dubya has a little of "Give 'em Hell Harry" Truman in him.
Let say this is done to a Muslim who has (Based on The Koran) done everything needed to get into Heaven. Wouldn't doing something like this be beyond his control and therefore he would still be accepted into Heaven?
It just seems to me that you can't really FORCE someone to sin by shooting them with pork coated bullets.
Just curious...
I question the veracity of this story. First of all, the insurrection was by a group called the Moros. Second, the insurrection ended with the four-day battle of Bagsak Mountain on Jolo Island in the Philippines, which took place from 11 to 15 June 1913.
Three of the convicted Amalekites were released to take the news back to their Islamic Communities.
The Amalekites were an Old Testament people from the Sinai.
