Epic. Win.

Too bad its an urban legend, or he would have attained chuck norris-like status.

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

I wonder if something like that would actually work nowadays, or just push extremists further?

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

If you kept doing it....

oh man imagine the outcry at this type of treatment nowadays. People bitch over 3 people waterboarded.... now you use their own religion against them.

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

Yeah, everyone's rammed so far up their own arses under the comfort of 'discrimination', 'racism' and 'political correctness', you couldn't even engage in so much as a pillow fight with extremists.

The feathers in the pillows are white, meaning you want white supremacy! Pillows are soft which means you view us as weak, discrimination! You did not gain anything related to national security through this, politically unjustified!

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

WOW, yeah too bad its urban legend.

I would like to see the reaction of the people whining about waterboarding to THIS.

MWAWHAHAHH =p

I wonder though if that would scare them or make them angrier? Or maybe they don't really care? :p

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

Yes, show people who already consider your very existence a blasphemy against god further evidence of your supposedly evil nature. I'm sure that'll make them more likely to leave you alone. If we're going to give up any pretence and just go with atrocities, well once you've done that the moral highground is no-longer that much of an issue, genocide is the way to go.

Don't the Israelis pack their buses with bags of pork to keep away suicide bombers? Or is that just an urban myth as well.

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

Probably an urban myth, altho I hope it is true.

We should tell the world we crop dusted the entire country with pork mist.

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

wouldn't make sense, seeing as how jews have similar policies on pork.

from what i've seen deterring terrorism isn't really possible. they'll die, either way, so it would hardly be a major concern. and whatever you do to one terrorist is likely to recruit several more to replace the one they lose. sad, but it's not something that can easily be done.

one ultra-right wing republican, Tom Tancredo, said that mecca should be bombed by the USA in the event of another terrorist attack, but that would probably have the opposite effect.

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

:rofl:

Oh my god that would be hilarious. Would that essentially be destroying islam? Thats one of the 5 pillars of islam isnt it? or 2 actually...make a pilgramage to the smoldering crater and pray facing the direction of the geiger counter beep 5 times a day.

Kinda like nuking jerusulam. (i know i cant spell it for shit go cry).

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

i don't know what would happen with islam, but the remnants of islam would probably shift to extremism, even more than they currently are. and it would lead to the USA being hated by nations worldwide, perhaps causing a war. it could prove apocalyptic.

it would certainly destroy one of the fundamental doctrines of islam. they would probably either try and rebuild it elsewhere, or reform islam to not need the pilgrimage.

if the USA were not declared on by the rest of the world, they would be screwed, anyway, as most of the USA's oil comes from the middle east.

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

How do you rebuild mecca? Isnt it a giant box around some sacred rock or something? (too lazy to google)

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

Mecca is a city about forty five miles off of the Red Sea, supposedly the site of the proclamation of Islam by Muhammad.

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

what is the giant box I am thinking of then?

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

I think it's the Kaaba

it this it? The big black box.

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

Hmm, the Phillipine insurrection wasnt so much a bunch of muslim extremist as they were nationalist fighting a a guerrilla war against a foreign invader. Calling them terrorist would imply that they targeted mostly political and civilian targets whereas the Moros fought chiefly against US forces. However if you want to find true terrorism one has only to look as far as the various campaigns the US conducted against the civilian populace of the Islands...very similar to how the Japanese conducted warfare in the Pacific 40 years later...

Re: General 'Black Jack' Pershing vs. Muslim Terrorists
 

Even though the Pershing story is legend, around the time of the Indian Mutiny of 1857 those kind of rumors were central to the revolt. Native soldiers called sepoys, both Muslim and Hindu (did the Sikhs participate in the 1857 Mutiny?), revolted and took over Britsh garrison towns throughout the sub-continent.

To facilitate the mutiny, conspirators had spread the false rumor to Muslim soldiers that pork fat was used to grease the ammunition, which got in the mouths of soldiers when they had to bite a paper cartridge open. The same sort of story was spread to Hindu soldiers, except for them the bullets were supposedly smeared with beef tallow.

When it was finally put down, the British killed, literally tens of thousands of Indian men women and children. Many historians put the death toll easily in the hundreds of thousands, with one Indian historian proposing an unsubstantiated figure of 10 million Indians killed during and after the Mutiny. One of the more picturesque punishments meted out to mutineers was to strap them across the mouths of cannon, and then as massed native troops witnessed the punishment, the guns were fired and the mutineers bodies reduced to bloody fragments.
