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."

You think a pound of bacon will survive for more than a day in the hands of a Marine living primarily off MREs?
I doubt it. How about pickled pig's feet?

No, William, this time it's different. We have to kill them before they kill us. Duh.

That about covers the entire issue...

Claim: General John J. Pershing effectively discouraged Muslim terrorists in the Philippines by killing them and burying their bodies with pigs.

Can I be offended that CAIR is offended?

Or is that not allowed at this point in history?

execute Islamic terrorists with bullets dipped in pig's blood

I am all for this idea, but no doubt a Mullah would announce that if a Jihadist dies from a pig blood bullet, Allah will reward him with 140 virgins instead of 70 ... and the ignorant Islamofacist dupes will believe it.

No, you may not be offended that CAIR is offended, especially if you're not part of a segment of the population that must be sucked up to.

This is not urban legend as Cweese claims. There is one mistake in the article and that is that Pershing was born and rasied in Laclede, MS. He was born and raised in Laclede, MO, for Missouri. Laclede has a current population of about 400. I have been by his boyhood home several times.

Black Jack was a Missourian and therefore, not afraid to do what it took to get the right job done.

See my tagline...

I'd be pleased if you'd add me to yours.

Terrorism will be with us as long as anyone believes islam is a religion. It is not.

Boo-hoo, cry my a river, CAIR. When you start standing up for what is right and start telling your people that flying planes into buildings and blowing themselves up while taking innocent lives is wrong, then we'll talk, until then, no dice.

Only because Christians don't go around beheading people who don't agree with their pedophile prophet.

The people who are apologizing for islams evil deeds are
COWARDS. Plain and simple.

Mr. Youmans, have you managed to get your comments condemning terrorist attacks from the Muslim extremists into the San Jose Mercury News?

What? You haven't yet condemned the attacks? Not even 9/11?

Then STFU! Consider yourself and fellow muslims lucky you aren't in a WWII style internment facility.
