Chechen Terrorists to be Buried in Pigskin
According to the Moskovski Komsomol newspaper, Russian security forces have decided to bury the terrorists from last's week's hostage siege wrapped in pig's skin. The aim is to deter potential Islamic terrorists from future attacks.
Shahidi (Jihad martyrs) believe by their nefarious acts that they ascend immediately to heaven. Using their beliefs against them, wrapping their corpses in 'unclean' pigskin prevents them from entering heaven for eternity.
Not when your enemy doesn't know what civilization is.
When dealing with most enemies I would agree, but not with muslims. History has shown that the only way get them to back away or become peaceful once again sadly, is to deal with them in a way that terrifies them. Prince Dracul(sp?) comes to mind as someone who succesfully repulsed muslim hords. He did it in such a way that still horrifies us today.
Because Israel is a civilized nation, it has plenty of citizens in positions of responsibility who are not of the local majority religion.
The Jihaddi's figure they're going to heaven, 72 virgins and all. The Russians just prevented that, in the Jihaddi's eyes, and those of their peers. What's next ? A pig-fat lubricant for ammo. . .
My hats off to Vladimir Putin and the Russian General Staff. And a special salute to the Speznaz teams that pulled off the operation: well done, men !
I'm sure Iowa would be happy to export a few "football covers".
The .45 colt served the U.S. military well for seven decades until the PC weenies forced adoption of the "Nato" (Nazi) 9mm.
After all two World Wars proved the Luger's "superiority" ..well it looks neat but the old Colt will take a man down quicker.
The .45 acp usually has TWICE the bullet weight and is much larger diameter resulting in more damge . .45 can also be procured in the various exotic hollowpoints and special expanding but the "rules of war" , the 9mm is really just an European .38 .
As far as being "civilized," all that went completely out the window on 9/11.
That must be the equivalent of "mooning" Mecca, and not good for the soul.
Speaking of facing Mecca, we have provided the prisoners at Gitmo with a sign in the direction of Mecca, for their prayers. I would like to suggest a flagpole with a huge American flag, lit 24 hours a day, right behind the sign. Then when they get down on their knees, they will be bowing to the American flag, too.
I sure wish there was some agency to take suggestions like that, along with my idea of paintball guns shooting gelatin balls filled with lard, rather than paint. Maybe it would help convince them to behave at Gitmo, where they apparently feel rather frisky.
Usually, not always.
I take it that you've never had the experience of killing anyone that you've pursued for some time. Never had the opportunity of catching up with and getting the drop on members of a regiment that left one of your youngest Marines skinned alive and begging for death....where you would find him.
Let me assure you - sometimes, simply killing is NOT enough. The need to MORE THAN KILL is to leave a message for those that will discover or recover the corpses - and to drive deep into their nightmares - the knowledge that they are being pursued by demons that mean to kill them and worse than kill them - deprive them of any and all honor or a life after death in their belief system.
Uncivilized, perhaps.. Brutal, to a degree... Necessary, who knows.. Satisfying -- a little....
Stupid, as you believe?
Not by a long shot...Whatever it takes to destroy, disturb, demoralize and defeat the enemy that means to destroy you - is not stupid.....it is the path to survival.
