A Brief History of the Use of Pig Waste Against Muslim Terrorists

Just before World War I, General 'Blackjack' Pershing was stationed in the Philippines, where he was ordered to put down an Islamic insurgency movement. Pershings troops captured fifty terrorists and had them tied to posts for execution. Pershing ordered his men to slaughter two pigs in front of the now horrified terrorists. The soldiers soaked their bullets in pigs blood in full view of the fifty condemned terrorists. Using the pig-soaked bullets, they executed forty-nine of them by firing squad. They dug a big hole, dumped in the bodies of the terrorists, and covered them in pig blood, entrails, etc., and covered over the grave. Pershing let the fiftieth terrorist go. There wasn't another Islamic terrorist incident for forty-two years. Last year, the Russians began wrapping the bodies of Chechen terrorists in pigskin before burial. It has had a significant effect on acts of terrorism against the Russian state by Islamic terrorists.

This appears to be untrue See the quote by Dr. Frank E. Vandiver, professor of history at Texas A&M University and author of Black Jack: The Life and Times of John J. Pershing

"I never found any indication that it was true in extensive research on his Moro experiences. This kind of thing would have run completely against his character."

Last year, the Russians began wrapping the bodies of Chechen terrorists in pigskin before burial. It has had a significant effect on acts of terrorism against the Russian state by Islamic terrorists.

This does appear to be true although it seems to have in happened 2002 not last year, and I was unable to find anything dealing with how effective it was (or was not) . And as far as I can tell it only happened once. I could be wrong on that.

I still have not been able to find anything supporting the assertion that

the Israelis are stuffing the corpses (such as they are) of homicide bombers with pig fat

This does, of course, mean that it is not happening, only that I can not find it. Do you have a source?

Former:****I understand the Israelis are stuffing the corpses (such as they are) of homicide bombers with pig fat. ****

Former: ****Just before World War I, General 'Blackjack' Pershing......****

I asked for a source for your original allegation about Israelis stuffing muslim corpses with pig fat. You shared the story of General Pershing. That isn't a source for your original allegation.

Jews do not eat pork, handle pork, use pork for 'other' reasons.

Please supply a source or revoke your allegation.
