Calif. Guard Targeted Over Pig-Blood Flier
AP via Yahoo ^ | July 13, 2005

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Islamic leaders and peace groups are criticizing the California National Guard for a flier posted in its headquarters suggesting the United States execute Islamic terrorists with bullets dipped in pig's blood to deny them entry to heaven.

The flier attributed the practice to World War I General John J. Pershing.

"Maybe it is time for this segment of history to repeat itself, maybe in Iraq?" the flier stated. It was posted outside a cubicle in the Guard's Civil Support Division.

A second flier showed the wings and tail of a bomber forming a peace sign with the slogan, "Peace the old fashioned way."

Also posted was a cartoon from a Web site showing a Red Crescent ambulance stuffed with weapons and a caricature that looks like the late-Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat unloading the weapons.

Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Doug Hart at first defended the postings to the San Jose Mercury News, which reported them Tuesday, but Hart later said they had been removed.

Peace activists spotted the fliers during a tour last week.

The tour came after peace groups and a state senator questioned whether a new Guard unit had been formed to spy on U.S. citizens and had monitored a Mother's Day anti-war rally. A federal investigation of the allegations is underway.

"It's troubling to see a governmental organization dedicated to the security of our country promoting culturally and religiously insensitive ideas," said William Youmans, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Santa Clara. "It's very possible to combat terrorism without offending the cultural values of a major world religion."

These creeps? So now their true colors as a fifth column stirring-up trouble with Islamic groups come to light.

CAIR is absolutely correct about this.

We could simply nuke every single Islamokazi terror-sponsoring country, instead.

Fair enough?

I think this has been thoroughly debunked as urban legend.

I think the guard should do a little "tour" of the peace activists hangouts and report what they don't like to the media.

Someone should have asked the Muslim - Peace Activist -- HOW?

HOW -- when terrorism is the chosen technique to implement Muslim ideology?

MASSIVE destruction of the enemy (Islamic) nations -- or the threat of extinction have been the successful techniques for protecting our civilization from threats of the past....

I believe it should still work.

Semper Fi

This thread was posted yesterday and the most enlightening post concernend General Pershing who dealt with Islamic madmen during his time too.

Pershing had 49 of 50 terrorist that he'd captured shot and buried in pigskins in front of the 50th who was then released. That ended that and 42 years of no muslim terrorism after that indicates that he handled the problem pretty well.

As I recall, the Chechnian terrorists who held an entire theater audience hostage in Moscow a few years ago were buried by the Russians in pig skin. I guess if one arrives in the presence of "Allah" in pig skin, he loses out on the 70 virgins, etc.

Well, sir, when said religion's "cultural values" include flying airplanes into skyscrapers and blowing up buses and subways, don't be surprised to hear the strains of the world's tiniest violin playing a song of sympathy for you. Furthermore, as Ann Coulter said in jest, "Nuke their countries and convert the survivors to Christianity"

Actually Christianity is much in the mold of the the "Death cults" of Osiris and Mithra popular in Rome around the time of the rise of Roman Christianity. They thought that through the sacrificial death of Osiris/Mithra/Jesus represented in a ceremony, they would escape their own death and have eternal life.

Thet Chechans who took the theater hostage in Moscow a couple of years ago were wrapped in pigskin before being buried. Nothing wrong with that that I can see.
