How American Soldier's used Pig's blood and corpses to Fight Muslim Terrorism
Frontpage Magazine ^ | February 26, 2018 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 02/26/2016 12:58:06 PM PST by Stepan12

A century before American soldiers fought Muslim terrorism in the Middle East, they fought it in the Philippines. Their attackers were Moro Muslims whose savage fanaticism appeared inexplicable. A formerly friendly Muslim might suddenly attack American soldiers, local Muslim rulers promised friendship while secretly aiding the terrorists and the yellow left-wing press at home seized on every report of an atrocity to denounce American soldiers as murderers whose honor was forever soiled.

Much of what went on in that conflict, including the sacrifices of our soldiers, has been forgotten. The erasure has been so thorough that the media casually claims that the American forces did not use pig corpses and pig’s blood to deter Muslim terrorists. Media fact checks have deemed it a “legend”.

It’s not a legend. It’s history.

The practice began in the Spanish period. A source as mainstream as the New Cambridge History of Islam informs us that, "To discourage Juramentados, the Spaniards buried their corpses with dead pigs."

Juramentados was the Spanish term for the Muslim Jihadists who carried out suicide attacks against Christians while shouting about Allah. American forces, who had little experience with Muslim terrorists, adopted the term and the Spanish tactics of burying Muslim terrorists alongside dead pigs.

It was a less sensitive age and even the New York Times blithely observed that, “The Moros, though they still admire these frenzied exits from the world, have practically ceased to utilize them, since when a pig and a man occupy a single grave the future of the one and the other are in their opinions about equal."

I got into a discussion with a freeper about this (I don't remember his moniker). He said this story was true; however, Snopes protested that it is an urban myth. I said I didn't know and would check among some old history books. Okay... I never got around to it, but if Daniel Greenfield says this pig burial of the Philippine Moro terrorists is true, then that is good enough for me. Since we have a freeper correctly confirming this story and Snopes LYING about it, I have to say that Snopes is not a fact or myth (busting) site, but a Democrat/neo Commie narrative site.

Don't Trust Snopes!

Sounds like a good practice to adopt, as jihad will start to increase in America as the muslim population increases.

Snopes is a leftist site and nothing there is to be believed unless it can be verified elsewhere.

They are not the last word, though they would present themselves as such.

I certainly would trust the words of Daniel Greenfield, than those of Snopes. Greenfield, has a reputation for integrity that he is not going to tarnish by propagating BS to advance anything.

I would agree that Snoops is in the job of doing left wing apologetics.

In my own case a family friend lead a sniper team in Ramadi when it was bad guy country. In the care packages I sent him I always included a can of the traditional Spam. I told him I did not expect his team to eat the stuff, but to cook it and then dip their bullets in it. He should then let the locals know, but never an officer or senior NCO. This way when they shot one of then he would go straight to hell and not even get to wave at the 72 virgins as he went by. They thought that was really funny.

Pershing (as one of the ‘other officers’) probably did do this however it was ‘Colonel Alexander Rodgers of the 6th Cavalry who accomplished the objective by taking advantage of religious prejudice doing what the bayonets and Krags had been unable to accomplish. Rodgers inaugurated a system of burying all dead juramentados in a common grave with the carcasses of slaughtered pigs. The Mohammedan religion forbids contact with pork; and this relatively simple device resulted in the withdrawal of juramentados to sections not containing a Rodgers. Other officers took up the principle, adding new refinements to make it additionally unattractive to the Moros. In some sections the Moro juramentado was beheaded after death and the head sewn inside the carcass of a pig. And so the rite of running juramentado, at least semi-religious in character, ceased to be in Sulu. The last cases of this religious mania occurred in the early decades of the century. The juramentados were replaced by the amucks. .. who were simply homicidal maniacs with no religious significance attaching to their acts.’

Oh? And where did he get his information that it's true? So you would believe anything that someone tells you without checking it out first?

So I wanted to see who this Daniel Greenfield is and one site has him outed as this:

http://www.loonwatch.com/2013/01/islamophobes-spencer-and-greenfield-push-fabricated-mohammad-al-arifi-fatwa-story/

So with that in mind maybe you should do some checking up yourself.
