Calif. Guard Targeted Over Pig-Blood Flier

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."

Horrors! Hand me the smelling salts!!!/S

[lilylangtree]

Outstanding idea! The islamics will be washing themselves forever thereby making themselves unavailable for any more terrorist attacks.

Bravo Sierra!

(... also, islam is a Death Cult, not a religion...)

[Leatherneck_MT]

If the Islamofascists are screaming, then this is EXACTLY what we need to do.

Go one step further. Bury those maggots inside the dead body of a pig. Let's see how much religious fervor they keep then.

I like it

[digger48]

But it's alright to offend the cultural values of Christians

Dear William Youmans,
Get a life.

===================================================

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

LOL! Is it indeed! Prithee, how does one fight a war in such a way?
Its possible in some esoteric universe perhaps, but not in this one.
Too bad you are "troubled"...are you just as "troubled" when your buds call the us the "Great Satan" or is that just some nuanced allegory?

You can take the pig blood story that way too.

In short, if you are offended and "troubled", ts.

[Saint Reagan]

Personally I think the practice of dipping bullets in pig-blood is totally inappropriate. Why waste a perfectly good pig on someone going to hell anyways?

[stevio]

I agree. It could make the bullet inaccurate. Issue every soldier and marine a pound of bacon. One kill, one slice of bacon in their mouth. The problem is, we don't play to win.

A guy who will blow up innocent children does not deserve to be treated sensitively. If there is some way to insure that he will not be rewarded for such acts in this life or in the next then we should "just do it"... "for the children"

Pigs blood or no, does anyone really think these terrorists are going to Heaven?

How the frig would he know. His "religion" gave birth to these terrorists.
