#1 This is what must be done! THIS MUST BE DONE! SOONER RATHER THAN LATER!

HOW TO STOP ISLAMIC TERRORISTS . . . it worked once in our History . . .
Once in US 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 US 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.

#2 I'm not sure if the Moro resistance against the US colonialists in the Philipines deserves to be labelled as 'terrorism', but even if it is, and assuming this chain e-mail isn't just an urban legend, it doesn't really mean anything.
Muslims who commit suicide aren't supposed to be able Paradise either, but enough Fatwas have been issued by enough high profile clerics that the suicide bombing is now considered by them as 'martyrdom'.
BTW, I have yet so see this supposed barrier to the entry of heaven mentioned in any Muslim source, only by non-Muslims. And since Muslims believe they go straight to Paradise after they die, what would it matter to them what their bodies are buried with?
If the Moros did react in this way a hundred years ago, it was probably because they were an extremely isolated people in South East Asia, far away from the rest of the Islamic world, and thus practicing many unIslamic superstitions.

#3 Didn't the top Sunni cleric in the Sunni Triangle issue a fatwa calling all killings of Iraqis "against Islam" and a sin? I get the impression the Sunnis don't want any part of this. Which is pretty bad for the bombers and terrorists.

#4 It's a semantics thing - in English they're called "suicide bombers". The Muslims refer to them as martyrs. Suicides don't have automatic admission to Heaven; martyrs do.

#5 What a pity we can't get the imams to issue fatwas to say that anyone attacking the US is, in fact, committing suicide. Thus, anyone who attacks the US is damned for all eternity.

#6 Danny I suggest you do a net search on Pershing in the Phillipines. The story is probably a myth. Beside we do know that 911 hijackers drank alcohol.

To Robert Crawford there are many such imams

#7 described the attacks as "very sophisticated

"Ok guys, here's the plan. Step one, synchronize your watches. Step two, go to a Shiite mosque and mingle. Step three, blow yourself up at 2PM."

"Damm, that's sophisticated, boss."

"That's why I'm in charge."

#8 Danny - one of my instructors at Pendleton informed us the story was a myth but, added - "BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED!!"

#9 Steve: You hit the nail right on the head. It drives me nuts whenever I hear newsies call any successful operation "sophisticated." One, they're usually wrong. Successful tactical operation are usually simple and violently executed. Two, it never fails to get the black helicopter crowd going. Once it appears in print that an operation was "sophisticated" every tin foil beanie wearing nut case immediately weaves it into his conspiracy theories that no mere mortal could pull off such a stunt; therefore, it must be the CIA or Mossad.

#10 it involved synchronized operations in two different cities, and in Baghdad apparently first one splodeydope boomed, then, when everyone went running for the exits, two more dopes boomed at the exits.

It may not take the Mossad to do it, but its definitely the mark of AQ. Has Hamas or Al aqsa Martyrs Brigade ever managed synchronized booms like this (of course they have to move boomers in from the territories, while AQ typically is operating from a base in the same city as the target)

#11 pardon - i do recall Hamas occasionally using the second boom to get the rescuers trick, but never at the exits to an enclosed place, and not in the context of two booms in one day in seperate cities.
