> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Wildest Bill \* > Nice try but you got to remember we are talking about radical Muslims them not us. They kill Christians all the time over there do you really think it would bother me to pour hogs blood on people that so violently could care less about human lives? Heck they don’t even value their own life. Don’t ya’ll understand this goes a lot deeper than them just hating the US. I mean this is a Holy War. Bill-would it bother you to make say, Fred Phelps wipe his ass with the Bible? Should people who disagree with Christianity be allowed to go into a church and splatter feces all over the walls? Even if it were Phelps’s church, or Falwell’s? ---

Bill, with cowboy hat in hand, you should get to ride the first boudin cluster bomb released down into Afghanistan. Purity Of Essence, Brother. ---

> [@](#): > > ? Also are you saying it would upset every Muslim or just the radical ones if we did this? All of them–a point that is obvious to everyone but you. Just as in the example I gave, going after Catholic terrorists in the manner I described would irritate _all_ Catholics and, as has been pointed out by others, just as _you_ would be upset if we took every Christian terrorist and wiped their butts with the Bible.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Wildest Bill \* > \*\* > I know ya’ll saying WHAT THE HECK??? > > But hear me out. I heard on a talk show the other day that a WWI general was having trouble with Islam terrorist killing off some of his troops so this is what he did. Supposably if you ever get hogs blood on you in the Islam religion, you can still go to Heaven but you can’t see Allah. And this really bothers them. So he rounded up a 100 terrorist, made them dig their own graves then poured hog’s blood all over them before he executed them. Then he let 10 go to tell the rest of their buddies what would happen to them if they did any more terrorism attacks. > > The terrorists attacks stopped.\*\* Urban legend. Just as it is in Christianity, Muslims consider sins to be committed when they act in a sinful fashion. Covering them with pig’s blood doesn’t make THEM sinners any more than you would be a sinner if you were kidnapped on Sunday and couldn’t make it to church. Jeez, Bill, use your head. Why would THEY think they were sinning for something WE did? ---

Rickjay, I know it is silly but I if it worked back then(WWI scenerio) maybe it would work now. If it wasn’t true(inotherwords it is indeed an urban legend), then of course, you are right that it wouldn’t work. Guin, I’m sorry but your analogy doesn’t hold water. I don’t agree with the Muslim religion what so ever but I would never go into their churches and smere blood on them. I was talking about doing this to people that had something to do with crashing planes into buildings killing innocent people. Andros, Again, you are talking about defacing a Christian symbol I am talking about defacing a terrorist. Big difference. ---

How about we paint all airport walls and doors with pigs blood, offer passengers a fresh hot slice of bacon before entering (refusing to eat means a security check) and cover the boarding ramp with pork chops? If it’s like Kryptonite, all the terrorists will henceforth avoid planes. ---

What are you talking about rjung? The terrorist ARE bloodthirsty killers but they also happen to be a type of a mulsim that don’t dig on swine(got that from Pulp Fiction. I don’t think however that all women dress like that but the world would a better place if there were more crazed gun-shootin’ cowboys though. 😃 Controvert, LOL too funny dude good and funny post. I especially like the bacon eating barrier at the airport. Hmmm, maybe we should REALLY do that one. I would feel safer except for my cholesterol level. 😉 ---

Please look past the purest literal understanding of my words to try to understand my point. \*\* I could be wrong but I think an apt analogy would be forcing a christian to renounce his belief in God/Jesus, etc, since we don’t have an “equivalent sin” that I am aware of. I could see where having the act forced upon you would not count as a sin, however if it was put as “if you kill a hostage you will be doused in pigs blood then killed.” they have the choice of not killing the hostage to avoid the greater of two evils." Somebody call the israelis they deal with this stuff all the time. ---

I read a book I believe was titled “Gold of Exodus” that in the late 70’s or early 80’s Israel discovered that the Saudis where building a missle base. The Israelis knew that if they just bombed the base with conventional weapons WWIII would be on. Instead the Israelis bombed the base with live pigs. ---

What about the Christians who bomb abortion clinics and murder doctors? Are they terrorists? What should we do to them? ---

First, You shouldn’t call them doctors. I doctor is a very respected profession that takes an oath to save lives. What those aholes do is pull a baby out limb by limb with salad forks. Call them what they are “butchers”(which really insults people that work with meat sorry meat workers). Maybe we should call the whacos that kill babies for money “Baby Terrorist”. Secondly, While I don’t agree with blowing up abortion clinics is how to fight this travesity in America, I can see why people are so upset that they would do it(blow them up). What they should do is do everything in their power to make abortions illegal again. ---

> [@](#): > > You shouldn’t call them doctors. The AMA does, so why shouldn’t I? **Bill** , I don’t think you are a Christian by any stretch of the imagination. You don’t practice love.

[Intervening nonsense snipped] > [@](#): > > While I don’t agree with blowing up abortion clinics is how to fight this travesity in America, I can see why people are so upset that they would do it(blow them up). Ok, so while you may not agree that annihilating buildings in New York and DC is a valid way to fight America’s racist Zionism and its haphazard and selfish meddling in the Middle East, you can “see why people are so upset that they would blow them up.” Is this a justifiable interpolation of your position, **WB**? > [@](#): > > What they should do is do everything in their power to make abortions illegal again. Do you think murder is something the government should do its best to prevent? Do you think that jeopardizing a religious criminal’s chances to achieve a blissful afterlife is an effectice deterrence? Do you believe that abortion bombers believe strongly in the existence of such an afterlife? Do you thus believe that every convicted abortion bomber should be made to violate _all_ of the Ten Commandments that do not infringe on the civil rights of others _and_ be forced to participate in every act of desecration found in that bible of the occult, the film _The Exorcist_? Well? ---

No I have no idea why they do that. They are nuts. People in those building were innocent. The pentagon could be percieved as a Military target but not with civilian aircraft. But bombing the WTC was pure hatred. The people that blow up abortion clinics like I said I do not agree with it. They are just at such a loss on why this country has stooped so low in its morality to making killing babies legal that is there way of coping with it. > [@](#): > > Do you think murder is something the government should do its best to prevent?

No. Like I said you don’t know what religion they are besides they are Americans and they are protected by the constitution. These terrorist are foreign and we are at war with them 2 totally different things.
