I got this POS from an RW acquaintance today....
HOW TO STOP ISLAMIC TERRORISTS . . . it worked once in our History . . .
Once in US 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 US 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. :eyes:

Of course this story is not supported by snopes.com ("inconclusive") and of course I did the "reply all" to let him and every one of his freeper friends know that.
Plus I added this little comment:
Hm. If this is even true, (see
http://www.snopes.com/rumors/pershing.htm )if Pershing arrested
his 50 suspects with the same care as we do in 2004, he hould have
executed 35-45 innocent civilians and only 5-15 terrorists. (70%-
90% of Abu Ghraib inmates were arrested "by mistake". Oops!)
Way to win those hearts and minds!
