Swine: Secret Weapon Against Islamic Terror?

A suggestion that has been made repeatedly since the start of the Oslo War is about to be adopted by Israels police force. According to a report by Maariv, the plan calls for the insertion of bags of pig fat in public buses and other central locations in the hope that it will deter Islamic terrorist suicide bombers aiming for martyrdom from detonating themselves there.
The suggestion is based on the fact that Islam regards the pig as an unclean animal and Muslim law bars any Moslem who touches a pig before dying access to heaven. One of the basic motives for Islamic suicide terrorists is the assurance that as a shahid or martyr, their place in paradise is guaranteed as they die in holy martyrdom for the sake of Islam.
Although the idea has been vocally suggested for years, and was practiced in various forms by the British before 1948, the Maariv report says that the police just recently thought of the idea, but wanted to obtain rabbinic assurance that the plan would not upset observant Jews.
Rabbi Eliezer Moshe Fisher, of the Jerusalem Rabbinical Court, issued his official ruling on Wednesday saying, there is no halachic (Jewish legal) ban on using bags of lard in buses and other places when saving lives is concerned. The Jewish legal permit says that bags of lard may be placed in any place that might be a target for suicide bombings, such as schools, shopping malls, railway stations, and any other crowded area.
The rabbi also said that if the police do not use pig fat in buses, tens of thousands of Torah-observant Jews would arm themselves with spray guns filled with liquid lard, which they would then spray on terrorists as the need arises.
Deputy Defense Minister MK Yaakov Edri (Likud) came out in support of the new idea. If bags of pig lard will prevent zealous Muslim terrorists from carrying out attacks, Im all for it, he said.
According to the Moskovski Komsomol newspaper, Russian security have been burying Chechen terrorists wrapped in pig's skin ever since the siege on a Russian theater last year. Reportedly, the actions have become a deterrent amongst Chechen Muslims but have done nothing to deter nationalist terrorism.
Residents of Gush Katif have tried the formula in the past, inserting pig fat in the body of terrorists that have attacked their homes. Residents told Arutz-7 that a "right-wing kibbutz-nik" had supplied them with the swine tissues. Arab MKs responded to a report of such actions with outrage. Abdel Malek Dahamshe said, "The ethical inferiority and lowliness that the settlers have reached is intolerable. This is an act of first-degree desecration of God's name." MK Tzvi Hendel responded, "If these primitive murderers stuff their brains with nonsense about Paradise and who-knows-how-many virgins waiting only for them, then they certainly believe in the other nonsense that being buried with pigskin blocks their way to Paradise."

What do you think of the pig tallow under seat warning sign, written in arabic of course.
Think that might deter some would be homicide bombers?

Insteead of a flame thrower how about a pig grease thrower ? They could fill and recharge household fire extinguishers with the substance, probably at very little cost. The spray would probably look like something out of Ghostbusters 2.

I've got this vision of pig catapults, similar to the French catapulting the barnyard animals out of the castle at King Arthur in
The Quest for the Holy Grail.
Pigapults, anyone?

"Muslim law bars any Moslem who touches a pig before dying access to heaven."
Wouldn't the terrorist be dead at the moment of the explosion? If so, they would be mixing themselves with pig fat after they are dead.
I think I just found an islamic loophole...

General John "Blackjack" Pershing found this to be a very effective weapon during the Phillipine Moro Uprising 1911-1912. So did American troops during the 1991 *Desert Storm* Gulf War, who were photographed wiping down the ammunition for their rifles and machineguns with pork patties from their ration packs in front of enemy POWS, who were thereafter appropriately docile. The Evansville, Indiana M.R.E. packager Shelf Stable Foods was the helpful supplier of the pork patties, though the content of the rations has changed for varieties sake since then. But tinned sausage links will work just as well, though a bit more difficult to carry in the elastic band of a PASGT *K-pot* helmet.

I had a bull session several years ago with a buddy of mine about hogs and Muslim terrorists. After a few beers we had the genius to envision farmers in Kansas and Iowa breeding huge numbers of big, aggressive boars. They'd likely inspire intense fear amongst the faithful, particularly during mating season. Because of their intelligence, such pigs could be used to sniff out explosives and to viciously attack enemy operatives. With advanced breeding techniques and genetic engineering, perhaps we could launch "wave like" assaults by thousands of gigantic, mean boarhogs. How about an airborne assault on a particularly pesky porcine objective? After each battle our deceased porky patrollers could be buried with the enemy dead. That would give new meaning to "when pigs fly."

And thinned down, it can be used in hand sprayers to discourage Islamic bombers- and those who give them cover by making such riders *routine* aboard public transportation.

If that doesn't work you could always give them a "pork-chop."

They'd likely inspire intense fear amongst the faithful, particularly during mating season. I can think of two hog farmers in particular quite likely to assist with the program you envision, should you care to pursue it. As the selective breeding program for such *assault pigs* ensues, some registered names for particularly promising lines [Sparky, beard of the prophet, or Petunia, mother of Mohammed come to mind....] might be used as well.
And, come to think of it, there's another Hawg I don't think the muslum cultists would care to make the aquaintance of....

Douse the suspect in swine entrails and watch him twitch? Sounds like fun.

"The ethical inferiority and lowliness that the settlers have reached is intolerable. This is an act of first-degree desecration of God's name. Ummmm...but mass murder of civilians through cowardly acts like suicide bombings is so ethically superior?
