Kipling's "King- of the Khyber Rifles"
No, I was wrong, Talbot Mundy was the author not Kipling.
"KING OF THE KHYBER RIFLES has a lone hero and none of the emphasis on military camaraderie, or the careless, Boys' Own tone to be found in such as GUNGA
DIN. Authentic details of Indian atmosphere convey a sense of accuracy, such as the rumors that the cartridges for the new Enfield rifles are greased with pig's fat,
simultaneously offending Moslem and Hindu alike. King must use his unique appeal as a fellow native to lead the Khyber Rifles in an attack on Khan's encampment. At the
last moment, King's men resolve not to use the rifles but offer to follow him using their knives."

Well, we must also consider the act of burying an islamic terroist in pig skin from the pig's point of view. Animal rights groups might feel, and you can see the validity of this logic, that a pig can't enter Heaven if buried with an islamic terrorist.

I dunno if the story is true or not, but I'm going to cook 'pigs in blankets' for breakfast tomorrow...

""Such ignorance, recklessness and disrespect is something that our community has come to anticipate from right-wing bigots, but not from a Democratic state senator. LOL.

A couple questions....
1. What's are "moselms"?
2. What does "thing skin" mean?
3. "the blacks"? Seriously?

...it seems to me that God (or Allah) is not going to condemn a soul based on the method by which the body is interred.The point isn't whether they will be condemned or not but that they think they will.

These do-gooder politicians just can't fathom that we are at war. And in war you have to out nasty the enemy. That is the only thing that works.

"My staff and I were astounded that something like that would come out of the senator's office," she said. "It does nothing to further our goals for peace and crossing bridges, and it does defame the Muslim faith.
These politically correct people really make me sick. They dont want to hurt someones feelings and they think this defames the Muslim faith. MUSLIM TERRORISTS ARE DOING A FINE JOB OF DEFAMING THEIR FAITH. It is time to get over this politically correct crap and speak the truth.
The truth is these people who belong to this religion of peace have been killing each others and everyone else who doesnt follow their whacked out religion since the time of Abraham. What makes anyone think they are going to learn to get along with people and live in peace at this late date?
If we continue this politically correct garbage and dont speak up, we will loose our country. Not from some army, but from within by the appeasers and traitors to this country. I for one will not keep my mouth shut nor will I apologize to anyone for what I think. Thank you very much!!!!!

The Sepoy mutiny in India (1850s or so) was triggered by a report that the musket balls were greased with cow fat (offensive to Hindu soldiers) and/or pig fat (offensive to Muslim soldiers). I suspect that Kipling's work is based on the Sepoy Revolt.
The difference in our arguments is that in the case of Kipling (and the Sepoys), the individual is commmitting the act, whereas in the alleged Pershing story the individual is incapable of acting, having assumed ambient temperature.

The points which I was trying to make are
a) the Pershing story is most likely an urban legend
b) it doesn't theologically make sense. The local imam can shoot it down.

Pork rinds, my friend. Fill up some plastic bags with pork rinds and seal them. Then, toss the IslamiNazis into the Atlantic, and when they start flailing around treading water, throw in the bags of pork rinds (they WILL float), and let's see who wants to live and who wants to go visit Allah.

...it also outraged members of the Muslim American Society's Boston chapter and officials from the Anti-Defamation League.BWAHAHAHAHA! Interesting! Where do these people come up with the nerve to DARE to be outraged in the face of their own self-incriminating actions?
Well, it outrages ME that these pondscum aren't outraged by the terrorism perpetrated by muslims, worldwide! I wouldn't pee in their ear if their brains were on fire!
In fact, speaking of fire, I'm also outraged at what's missing in all those pictures of muslims celebrating in the street after heinous stupid death tricks perpetrated by muslims (for example, 9/11), and that is copius amounts of napalm. Napalm NOT being dropped on pondscum pro-terrorists (muslims) is what outrages ME!
Stay vigilent, stay armed, and never trust a muslim or a liberal; both are terrorists, differing only in weaponry and technique!

I agree with you, you are correct. The other issue is, would this be a deterrent? Probably not too much.

How come these bozos never state WHY they were offended by the flyer?
"The senator says it was his intention to simply forward a news item that might foster dialogue among his colleagues..."
Let me finish this PC statement: "... in the hopes that we may further the cause of diversity and understanding of the Islamic religion."
This stuff is so bad you can write a book of quippy quotes and comebacks for any Dimocratic occasion.
