Pig Lard Suggested To Stop Terror Attacks [What about duct tape?]

Pig lard to stop terror attacks From correspondents in Jerusalem February 12, 2004

ISRAELI police have come up with plans to place bags of pig lard on buses in a bid to deter Palestinian militants from carrying out suicide attacks, the Maariv daily reported.

Rabbinical authorities have given the idea its approval on the grounds that it could be a life-saving measure even though pigs are also considered impure by Jews.

Authorities believe that the move could discourage Palestinians from carrying out attacks as pieces of their exploded body could come into contact with the pig fat, prejudicing their chances of entering into paradise.

The paper said that the rabbinical dispensation could mean that security forces also hang bags of lard in shopping malls and schools.

Public buses have been a favourite target for Palestinian suicide bombers since the start of the intifada in September 2000.

Why not? It might be something to try in Iraq, also:)

Freepers have been recommending variations on this theme to protect airliners ever since 9/11. What took them so long? They need to drop by sometime (or more often).

I'm constantly amazed, saddened, and sometimes amused by what some people will believe in the name of religion.

And couldn't we discreetly hang plastic baggies of pork sausage in various locations inside passenger aircraft? (Or better yet, give each willing passenger a cellophane bag of those pork rinds the Atkins Diet fans eat.)

Would doing this and publicizing it be more economical than air marshalls, etc?

:O)

I have started carrying bags of pork rinds when I fly and offer them to everyone near me. I call them the terrorist prevention chips.

...Just consider for a minute believing that God actually condones and supports blowing yourself up... but not if you get pig on ya in the process.

Precisely what is so amazing to me...to think that anyone has any idea what God condones or doesn't, and thinking that something like pig flesh really matters at all.

Contrary to popular belief, a Muslim doesn't have any worries about being buried with pork products as it applies to going to heaven. There's no onus on the Muslim if the contact with pork products was not of his own free will.

This idea is cool though, because it is his free will (hitting the detonator) that directly causes the contact with pork products, so entry into heaven may be threatened. Of course I'm sure the radical imams there will simply reinterpret the Quran to their own ends yet again and say that's no problem either.

I thought just picking up the pieces of their bodies and burying them in a pig would solve the problem.

After doing that twice very publically... I think they would stop.

But I love the pork rind snacks I will start doing the same.

On airliners, perhaps preemptively blowing half chewed mouthfuls of pork rinds all over twitchy Middle Eastern types a la Bluto Blutarky is the best flight insurance.

Nitroglycerin and other explosives is made from glycerin often bought from pork processing plants. So if an Islamoterrorists blows himself with this stuff his soul should be going straight to Gehenna, right?

The Jews or the Great Satan made them do it. How could it be their fault?

I remember packing bacon on my first airline flight after 9/11! I agree with the earlier poster, we've had these ideas on this site for over 2 years now...They should've been on this idea like "pigs in a blanket"!

I sure most of you have seen this, but it bears repeating. An iteration of this has been used in the past by the late, great Gen. John J. Pershing.

HOW TO STOP ISLAMIC TERRORISTS...... it worked once in our History...

Once in U.S. history an episode of Islamic terrorism was very quickly stopped. It happened in the Philippines about 1911, when Gen. John J. Pershing was in command of the garrison. There had been numerous Islamic terrorist attacks, so "Black Jack" told his boys to catch the perps and teach them a lesson.

Forced to dig their own graves, the terrorists were all tied to posts, execution style. The U.S. soldiers then brought in pigs and slaughtered them, rubbing their bullets in the blood and fat. Thus, the terrorists were terrorized; they saw that they would be contaminated with hogs' blood. This would mean that they could not enter Heaven, even if they died as terrorist martyrs.

All but one was shot, their bodies dumped into the grave, and the hog guts dumped atop the bodies. The lone survivor was allowed to escape back to the terrorist camp and tell his brethren what happened to the others. This brought a stop to terrorism in the Philippines for the next 50 years.

Pointing a gun into the face of Islamic terrorists won't make them flinch.

They welcome the chance to die for Allah. Like Gen. Pershing, we must show them that they won't get to Muslim heaven (which they believe has an endless supply of virgins) but instead will die with the hated pigs of the devil.
