Swine: Secret Weapon Against Islamic Terror?
Arutz Sheva ^ | Feb 13, 2004

Posted on 02/12/2004 2:32:09 PM PST by Rams82

A suggestion that has been made repeatedly since the start of the Oslo War is about to be adopted by Israel’s 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, I’m 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."

Since no observing Jew would be blowing themselves up and possibly coming in contact with the pig tallow, I don't think there'd be a problem.
The Islamakazis though WOULD be coming into contact with it possibly.
And as a deterrent, even if the pig tallow isn't on board, the mere suggestion that the dead creep's body is defiled should start to keep them at bay.
Especially if said dead creep is found with burnt pig tallow on him.
Even if the pig tallow wasn't truly on the bus at all.
(A devious mind at work against murderous terrorists.)

Try as they might, there is no cleansing ritual for them.
Once defiled with pig, they are consigned to the 9th level of Naar forever in their religion.

I have long thought we don't make enough use of the Pig Bomb. Having lived in the Middle East for a few years, I could see the aversion to pigs (not to mention dogs) is very real. This could be a real boost for Oscar Mayer.

We could learn a few things about combating terror from our komrades. There's a reason why Iran only took one Soviet hostage, and held him a very short time...

The fact that muslims think pig fat would prevent them from going to heaven is yet more evidence that their religion is bogus.

What a wimpy god, so to speak.

Jesus Christ/Yahweh would not (and is not) bothered by anything Christians do, at least as far as salvation is concerned.

There was a report on an earlier thread that burying the bodies of killed terrorists wrapped in pigskin stopped an Islamic uprising in the Philippines dead in its tracks in the 1950s.

Normally the rules of war call for respectful treatment of the bodies of your killed enemy. But this is different. Barbarians who target unarmed civilians outside of combat zones don't fit the definition of combatant fatalities, and as such merit no such consideration.

I know, that's the funny part of it.
While Jews detest pigs, they at least can become ceremonially cleansed of it from what I understand.

Makes for an interesting proposition though.
Merely state that there is pig tallow on board, maybe a sign that says it's under a random seat or some such, and see what the Islamists do.
(In arabic)
"Pig Tallow under a random seat for your safety. Have a nice day"

General John "Blackjack" Pershing found this to be a very effective weapon during the Phillipine Moro Uprising 1911-1912.

Israel should just carpet-bomb Gaza and the West Bank with smoked hams. I'd love to see a whole pig crash through the roof of a mosque and go splat all over the crazy lunatics.

Sure. Jewish law is flexible where saving lives are concerned. Muslim law is flexible where killing Jews is concerned.

LOL!
Loved the part where the terrorist Pali's said that it was the "lowliest of ethical and moral" stuff.

Jewish law prohibits eating pig. There's no big deal horror of pigs in Judaism as in Islam.

A Jew can even own a pig, just as a Jew can own a dog, cat, horse, or camel, even though it is not permitted to eat them.
