Pigs against terror?

“The killing of innocents is against Islam. They are bringing shame to 25 crore Muslims of India. These men are not Muslims. Why should we give them place anywhere? There is no place for them in our hearts and in our cemeteries,” said Hamid Abdul Razzak, president, Dawat-e-islami. (Source: Muslim organisations deny burial to slain terrorists)

There was a proposal that Israel police were considering in 2004 with regard to combating terrorists claiming to follow Islam. I don’t know if it was actually put into action though. It involved pigs.

Residents of Gush Katif have tried the formula in the past, inserting pig fat in the body of terrorists that have attacked their homes. Residents told Arutz-7 that a “right-wing kibbutz-nik” had supplied them with the swine tissues. Arab MKs responded to a report of such actions with outrage. Abdel Malek Dahamshe said, “The ethical inferiority and lowliness that the settlers have reached is intolerable. This is an act of first-degree desecration of God’s name.”

MK Tzvi Hendel responded, “If these primitive murderers stuff their brains with nonsense about Paradise and who-knows-how-many virgins waiting only for them, then they certainly believe in the other nonsense that being buried with pigskin blocks their way to Paradise.” (Source: Swine: Secret Weapon Against Islamic Terror?)

Islam considers the pig an unclean animal. Physical contact with the animal is believed to block a Muslim’s access to heaven.

The brainwashed maniacs who kill innocents aren’t afraid of death. They believe dying in the process guarantees their access to heaven. You have to admit, if you put yourself in their shoes, it is one hell of an incentive.

Ankesh put it in perspective for me in an email:

Lets evaluate what we are against. We are against brainwashed people who don’t give a damn if they die. In fact, they wish that they die. Because if they die while fighting for what they think is a right cause, they’ll go to heaven and get 70 (?) virgins and stuff…

Take away their only incentive.

Make them think that what they are doing won’t get them heaven. And they may stop terrorism. Or at least they’ll stop terrorist activities in which they could be shot directly.

Makes sense to me. What do you think?

  1. Certainly makes sense, as long as the incentive is indeed an idea of jannat & hoor.

    But am sure the trainers will come up with some other way to deflect the pig attack.

    But until then, we might have some respite.

  2. Anirudh says:

    Eternal wisdom lies in simple ideas. How apt.

  3. That is seriously funny. I twitted about this.
