What do Islamic terrorists fear more than bullets and bombs?

Pork.

Islam prohibits pork consumption, saying its products are unclean and believers who touch it will be refused entry into Heaven.

Islamic terrorists willingly commit suicide as warriors defending Allah, because martyrdom guarantees their entry into Heaven with promises of milk, honey and beautiful virgins.

But unclean terrorists face Heaven’s closed gates.

Some of America’s B-52 bombers should be converted to tankers, capable of carrying tons of liquefied pork fat and pig poop. Spray nozzles should be placed in their fuselage undersides.

Tankers would represent the first wave of bombers attacking terrorist enclaves and training camps in the Middle East. Pig fat and pig poop would saturate the ground, terrorist facilities and personnel before the next waves dropped cluster, napalm and penetrating bombs.

Many Islamic terrorists would die unclean. Those who survived would be forced to stay in their caves because the residue of pig fat and pig poop would remain in the rainless environment.

Think of it. Just as Americans saved fat drippings for the war effort in the 1940s, Americans could now recycle pork ammo for the new war effort. (23 SEPTEMBER 2001)
