Just before WW1 there was a number of terrorist attacks on the U.S.Forces in the Phillipines by Muslum exteamists.So General Pershing captured 50 terrorits and had them tied to posts for execution.He then had his men bring in 2 pigs and slaughter them in front of the now horrified terrorists.
Muslums detest pork because they believe pigs are filthy animals.Some of them simply refuse to eat it,while others won't even touch pigs at all,nor any of their by products.To them eating or touching a pig,its meat,its blood is to be instantly barred from paradise(and those virgins) and are doomed to hell.
The soldiers were ordered to soak their bullets in the pigs blood,and proceeded to execute 49 of the terrorists by firing squad. The soldiers then dug a large hole ,dumped in the dead terrorists and covered them in pigs blood, entrails etc.They let the 50th man go.And for the next 42 years there was not a single Muslum extreanist attack anywhere in the world!
Maybe its time for history to repeat itself?Maybe in Iraq? Where do we find another "Black Jack" Pershing?
