""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 (search) in Santa Clara. "It's very possible to combat terrorism without offending the cultural values of a major world religion.""

How is shooting a terrorist with bullets dipped in pig's blood racist or religiously insensitive. They're being shot because they're terrorists. They murder innocent civilians. Their race isn't the issue.

It's also recognizing their religion rather than being insensitive to it. These aren't actions desecrating their religion. These are actions against murders, and it's showing a strong condemation of their actions in a way that is religiously significant to them.

It does not show disrespect for Islam. It shows condemnation of terrorists.

How about we dip all bullets in pig's blood...that way we are not discriminating, or racist, or insensitive. ;-)
