.a Before we get into the actual process, some additional facts involving Islam and terrorism need to be made clear. 1) Becoming Offended: Saying or doing something that others find offensive and even intentionally doing something that offends someone's personal beliefs, religious or otherwise, is a fundamental human right called freedom of speech. Any where that such rights are denied, tyranny rules. Every culture, every race, every religion, every ethnic group has been and often still is the subject of statements that can be construed by some people as offensive. No culture, race, or religion, including Islam can justifiably demand the suppression to this right. If everything on the planet was destroyed because it offended someone, there would be very little left. Graphic depictions of violence and open public acts of violence offend millions of us and yet Islamic jihadists take pride in creating and even broadcasting such displays on international television. 2) Allah Is Simply the Generic, Arabic Word for God. It does not refer to a special God or any God different from the God worshipped by way of Christianity, or Judaism, or any other religion. 3) The word "Islam" is Arabic for "submission." When the Islamic religion controls a government, repression is the only possible result. "According to the Qur'an, a good Muslim is someone who obeys Allah's orders and follows Muhammad's example." ***1 Afghanistan, prior to the American invasion, is a visible example of how a few religious zealots dominated and controlled everything and everyone. Democracy is a matter of choice. There is no choice under Islamic domination. ***1 http://www.prophetofdoom.net/Islamic_Terrorism_Timeline.Islam 4) The Source of Terrorism: "A comprehensive review of all terrorist acts committed from 1960 to the present (2005) confirms that 95% of terrorist missions are associated with Islam."***1 The vast majority of terrorists are believers in fundamental Islam. Since Bush and company invaded Iraq, acts of terrorism increased over one million percent - from one every several months to hundreds per day. 5) Getting Down and Dirty: The only way to deal with people who refuse to be peaceful under any circumstances and who would commit mass murder at the first opportunity is to function with them, and only with them, on their own level. Here's why. standards ... Ethical Standards: In any conflict, the person or group with the lowest ethical standards, sets the level at which the conflict is played out. An ethical person is NOT required to tell the truth to the lie. When dealing with honest, loving, fair-minded people, always maintain high ethical standards. When dealing with those who have low standards or no standards at all (such as the religion-driven terrorists), offer your ethics to them. When they refuse, you have two choices: die at their hands or respond to them on their level. If you choose not to die, then your only choice is, play their game better than they do. Play by their rules. Do onto them as they would do onto you. Be better at there game than they are, and be more clever at it than they are. There are those who claim that this is a double standard. They believe that responding at the opponent's level would be to get down in the sewer with them. To those critics we say, "Yup, you're right. Thanks for noticing." Here's an example that may add some clarity as to why one must play at the opponent's level. Suppose a serial rapist and murderer breaks into your home looking for your ten-year-old daughter. He holds you at gun point and says, "Where's your daughter hiding?" Remember now, according to your Christian rules, you are not supposed to lie. How are you going to respond to the rapist/murderer? Although you've hidden her in the closet, you, say, "She's gone to her grandmother's house." Now your five-year-old son sitting beside you, and not really knowing what's going on says, "Daddy, you're not suppose do tell a lie." The rapist sensing that you are lying, smacks you on the head with his gun and leaves you bleeding and unconscious on the floor. He begins ransacking and searching the house. A few moments later you regain consciousness and while the rapist is in another room, you manage to sneak out into the garage and get the loaded gun from your secret locked hiding place and return to the house. In the meantime the rapist has found your daughter and you can hear her screaming. What do you do? Are you going to go to him and say, "Excuse me, Mr. Rapist, Sir, you're not supposed to do that. " Are you going to attempt to arrest him and hope that a court somewhere will convict him and send him to jail. . . or are you going to stoop to his level and put six bullets into him? Now expand this metaphor into real life on a global level and the single rapist/murderer becomes a very real group of fifty thousand, ruthless, international terrorists, rapists, assassins, mass-murders, hijackers, kidnappers, suicide bombers with absolutely no mental capacity to do anything but peddle murder, death and mass-destruction. At any moment you could be murdered by a nuclear bomb, or die from a biological weapon, or hear news that you family has been killed in an airplane hijacking. What are you going to do about that? To those of you who choose to sit by while your family is raped and murdered, we say "If you don't like our approach, then you surely must have a better plan - a plan that actually works. Good, then lets hear it. Contact Us° . 6) Altering Behavior: It's simply not reasonable or feasible to put an armed guard everywhere that a violent act of terrorism might be committed. The motivation to be non-violent must be shifted to inside the minds of those people who would commit terrorist attacks. A shift must be made so that they, within their own selves, choose to behave peacefully. One cannot change the inner programming (the beliefs) of a terrorist, but one can use their beliefs as a strategy for altering their behavior. The intention is to attach consequences to a potential terrorist's behavior so that they (the terrorists) say to themselves, "The price of engaging in a terrorist attack is so high that I choose to be non-violent." (See the sections titled: Self-Interest° and Battle of Beliefs° on the prior page.) The two big questions then become, how do we use beliefs to alter the terrorist behavior and what potential consequences would cause a religion-driven terrorist to self-alter his behavior? An Historical Example of how the power of belief controls behavior comes to us from the Korean war. The American military supplies were regularly stolen in spite of being fenced off and watched over by armed guards. The South Korean supplies were rarely ever stolen even though they had only a strand of rope suspended on sticks around them and no guards. A single human ear hung on the rope. The people were kept away by their own belief system. They believed that if their body became deformed, they could not get into heaven, and the punishment for getting caught stealing supplies was to lose an ear and; therefore, be excluded from heaven. .a |

.b The non-traditional weapon to use against extremist Islamic-religion-driven terrorists is Pig Soup. Pig Soup is a mixture of ground-up half-rotten, pig guts, pig fat, pig blood, pig urine, pig dung, and bright-orange, oil-based paint. An Absurd Idea: The most common first reaction is, "What an absurd idea." Do you recall the name applied to those who pre-judge something based on only their own beliefs and with no accurate information about the topic being judged? Let's not be one of them. We invite you to hold your judgments until you know what you're judging. The basic idea of using pigs to combat Islamic jihadists is not new. There is both modern and historical precedence for using pig products for this purpose. See the section below. The Precedence` Combining the above-mentioned ingredients into the Pig Soup is new. So are the proposed uses for the soup. Why add orange paint? First, the orange paint make the soup much more visible. Second the paint makes the removal much more difficult, and third, the paint makes the offending buildings stand out as a warning to other. It's a variation on the terrorist's practice of leaving dead bodies hanging from lamp posts as a warning to others not to do as the dead one did. The Second Common Response
is that using Pig Soup as an anti-terrorist
weapon is an insult to Islam. The following
three responses to that accusation leave that argument in the pig sty where it
belongs: 2) Re-read the above statement titled: Getting Down and Dirty` 3) Hypocrisy is too good a word for those who claim offense. What have those who claim to be offended done that might others might consider offensive. Well, just to name a few possibilities, there's murder, rape; kidnapping; hijacking; suicide bombing; mass-murder of innocent women and children; public and/or videotaped executions (by beheading) of people guilty of being non-Muslims; senseless destruction of billions of dollars worth of property; total disregard for anything and anyone; absolute refusal to honor agreements with non-Muslins; total disregard for anyone's rights or any standards of ethics, decency, or codes of conduct. If Islam actually is a religion of peace then terrorists cannot be real Muslims. If Islam is a religion of peace then terrorists must be frauds pretending to be Muslims. Real Muslims then, rather than being offended, should be thanking those who expose and eliminate false Muslims. We've devised a test to find out if Islam is a religion of peace and love. Click here to take the test.° You might also note that illegal and highly destructive drugs are one or the terrorist's main sources of money. The Taliban in Afghanistan are heavily financed by drugs. The major source of heroin peddled in America is from poppies grown in Afghanistan by the Taliban. So now, let's get real for a moment. Is it reasonable to be concerned about saying or writing something, or drawing a picture that is "politically incorrect" -- that these men might find offensive? Definitely not, unless of course, you are concerned that you'll be murdered for exercising you freedom of speech.
. Islam and Pigs: At this point you may be asking how Pig Soup could possibly disrupt terrorist activities. Well here's the plain and simple answer.
Beliefs Dictate Behavior: Remember that regardless of whether they are true or false, beliefs always control, dominate, and dictate human behavior. Our plan is to enter the belief system of the Islamic terrorists and use their beliefs about pigs, pig fat, pig dung, pig urine, pig blood, dead-and-rotting pig guts, and live pigs to get them (the terrorists) to change their behavior. As you may recall, terrorist believe that if they die in the process of killing infidels (and that includes anyone who is not Muslim) they will be escorted directly into heaven where twenty-six virgins are waiting there to please them. (We're not sure the number is twenty-six, but however many it is, it's that many more than they have here on Earth.)
Heaven is clean. No pigs allowed. What if we could deprive terrorists of their access to heaven and deprive them of all those virgins? Might that take away some of their enthusiasm for their religious inspired insanity? Islamic terrorists are extremist in their religion beliefs. Their religion says that if they eat or make contact with unclean things, such as pigs, they will not be allowed into heaven. When a terrorist dies in an act of Jihad and his body is dunked in a vat filled with pig fat, pig dung, pig urine, pig blood, dead-and-rotting pig bodies and then wrapped in pig skin and buried, that former terrorist is never going to be permitted into heaven.

.c . The Twenty-Six-Virgin Belief leads us to the natural inclination to start asking some rather tough question about the Islamic religion, itself. We've Examined Christianity in everyway imaginable -- including inside out, upside down and backwards -- so why not examine Islam? The belief system promoted by the leaders of fundamental Christianity, when studied under the light of close examination, showed itself to include, among its wonderful an loving tenants, some incredibly dysfunctional illusions. (Readers are directed to the section titled: The Cruise of Fiction°) Is it possible that those leading Islamic jihad might also have some illusions hiding under the surface of their religious beliefs. Before we get into any grizzly details, let's take: A Short Trip on the Lighter Side: Lets see if anyone can tell us where the twenty-six-or-so virgins are going to come from to satisfy each and every jihad terrorist? When you multiply all those dead and would-be-dead terrorists by twenty-six, that's one hell of a lot of virgins. How many virgins do you know over the age of thirteen? And how many of these sex-starved, nubile and delicious, young women are keeping their virginity hidden away in a special box reserved for, and-only-for, someone who has just mass-murdered three thousand innocent people? Since women are considered by the terrorists to be little more than servants, sex slaves, and new-terrorist-production-factories, perhaps they (the terrorists) will simply rape all the girls they find that their fellow virgin-seekers haven't already raped. Unless, of course, God has a special virgin factory somewhere in heaven. Or perhaps we should interview all the olive oil sellers and find out where they got all those "extra virgins" that they're bottling and selling to us in the form of oil. Or maybe we should contact "Resident" Bush. He managed with a little help from his multi-billionaire, oil-slicked friends, to produce a million or so would-be terrorists in less than six years. Maybe we can get him to get God to show us where the virgin factory is. Then there's the real question: When the terrorist have fulfilled their compulsions to be hymen-breakers, what will become all those former virgins? Perhaps the terrorists will load all those deflowered, young girls onto Israeli busses and blow them up? Excuse me, did I hear you say, "All that absurd virgin talk is anything but light!"? Yes, we know it's not very light when standing all alone, but when standing beside murder, rape, kidnapping, hijacking, suicide bombings, beheadings, and mass-murder of innocent women and children, a little virgin talk does seem to be a whole lot lighter." OK, How about this? If little Willie Shakespeare was right when he said that all the world is a stage, what role are you playing in this life regarding your virginity? Are you the virgin who wished she wasn't or the one who isn't, but wished she was? Or are you a guy who wished he had a virgin or the guy who has one and wished she wouldn't be one when today becomes yesterday? OK, OK, if you don't like virgins, let's talk about the Islamic religion. That should bring light, love freedom, and joy into the world. Let's begin by seeking an answer to the following question: . Have the
terrorists . That's a heavy and fundamentally-important question because the fate of huge portion of the Islamic religion rests upon finding the true and correct answer to this question. A four-way Comparison: Let's begin by looking at four of the people, upon whose vision, four of the world's present-day religion were founded. We'll compare Buddhism, Christianity, Mormonism, and Islam. We'll also compare Buddha, Jesus, Joseph Smith, and Mohammad.
We're certain that their are additional criteria upon which to compare these religions. We're also certain that there are additional religions (and spiritual philosophies) that could be added to this comparison. Unfortunately, we have neither the time, or the staff, or the money, or the talent to provide thorough and accurate answers to these questions. If you can and are willing to enhance this comparison, please contact us.° The Initial Data: The initial data we've found on the Internet and in the news media places Islam in a very negative light in this comparison. Below, we've added some quotes from internet websites along with their sources. We would like to know if these statements are accurate and verifiable. It would seem from the details included and the extensiveness of the site's that they came from that they are more likely to be true than false. However, at the moment we offer them only as places to begin seeking the truth.
The following quotes are found at:
" Every prime source regarding Muhammad's life (the Qur'an, Sira or Biography of the Prophet, Ta'rikh or History of the Prophet, and Hadith or Oral Report from the Prophet) confirm that Allah's lone spokesperson wasn't a prophet but was a terrorist - having issued no predictions that came true but having led 75 terrorist raids for booty and political power in the first 10 years of the Islamic Era. In the 33rd surah, the Qur'an tells Muslims to follow Muhammad's example. In the 8th and 9th surahs, Allah says that those who do, and become jihadists killing non-Muslims in his cause, are the best Muslims. So the rationale here isn't complex, or even subject to interpretation. According to Muhammad, Allah, the Qur'an, the Sira, Ta'rikh, and Hadith, all good Muslims are terrorists."
The following quotes are found at:
As more data from other sources becomes available to us, we'll be able to verify whether or not the above quotes represent the truth about Mohammad and Islam. We'll post the addition al data on this website. If some issues are unclear and arguable, we'll add all the varying points of view. Our goal is to let the evidence lead the way to the conclusions. Let's let the truth answer the following question: Have the
terrorists . The initial, unofficial results that we have thus far found points overwhelmingly toward the conclusion that: The Islam
Religion has If the additional evidence point in the same direction as the initial evidence, this means that Islam is in desperate need of something far deeper than a simple facelift. .c |
Buddha, Jesus, and Joseph Smith were not
violent men and none of them initiated acts of
violence. What about
Mohammad? .
.
.d Dealing with the Promoters of Terrorism. Here's a way to deal with the loud mouths that publicly promote violence from such platforms as radio, television, and in mosques. Suppose a public announcement is made that: Any physical structure, including mosques, radio station, television stations, other buildings and private homes, used to promote Islamic violence or used to store weapons will be showered with PIG SOUP made from a mixture of ground-up half-rotten, pig meat, pig fat, pig blood, pig urine, pig dung, and bright-orange, oil-based paint. Suppose for example a cleric is promoting violence in a mosque after Friday prayers. What if he were warned that using his religious buildings to promote mass-murder was going to have consequences, and that he had a choice to stop promoting violence or the building will be showered with three hundred gallons of pig soup?
What If Terrorist Prisoners Were Fed Pig Meat? ***2 Here's a quote from: "Why Islam Forbids Pork?" By: Rashid Shamsi (The Muslim World League Journal, Rajab 1420 - October 1999) http://www.islamic-world.net/sister/h1.htm "The prohibition is based on the aim of the purification of one's nature, because food, when consumed, doesn't merely enter the stomach and intestines and become excreta. It is absorbed and metabolized into the system and circulated to all parts of the human body, including the brain, and this in no small way affects man's nature." "Take a look at the nature of the pig for example. The pig is naturally lazy and indulgent in sex, it is dirty, greedy and gluttonous. It dislikes sunlight and lacks the spirit and will to "fight." It eats almost anything, be it human excreta or anything foul and unwholesome." Feed terrorist prisoners a mixture of pig meat, pig fat, pig blood, and add a little pig urine and pig dung for flavor. -- Goodbye heaven! -- And goodbye to all those lonely sex-starved virgins! ***2 Holy Qur'an 5:4 " Forbidden to you for (food) are: dead meat, blood and the flesh of the swine and that which hath been invoked the name other than Allah. " Additional Ways to Use Pig Soup: We're sure that others will think up many additional uses. .d |
.
.
.e The Advantages There are several significant advantages to using Pig Soup: Low Tech. (Almost anybody can produce a batch of Pig Soup) Low cost. (Compared to the cost of a high-tech bomb, Pig Soup is almost free) No bombs, no jet fighters, and no multi-million dollar ships required. No nuclear weapons needed. No guns. No killings. No property destruction. And none of your money goes to George Bush's multi-millionaire friends to rebuild what has been destroyed. . . The Disadvantages We need your help here because we can find only three disadvantages and they're pretty lame excuses to keep "Killing the Bad Guys" as a top priority: 1) Those who favor Jihad might be offended, and we wouldn't want to offend any mass-murders, rapist, kidnappers, hijackers, or suicide bombers. 2) It will take a little time and effort to clean up the stinky, sticky mess that Pig Soup makes when it's sprayed over property used by terrorists. 3) The billionaires who run the military-industrial complex (the weapons makers) might have their financial status reduced to just being multi-millionaires. .e |

.f The basic idea of using pigs to combat Islamic jihadists is not new. There is both modern and historical precedence for the successful use of pig products for this purpose. The quotes below are from: On Burying Muslim Terrorists In Pig Skins http://www.parapundit.com/archives/000507.html° Dated: Friday, November 01, 2002
" Russians are burying the Chechen hostage siege terrorists in pig skins"
. ". . . this is not a new idea. Who first used this technique? Well, to best of my knowledge it was US Army Colonel Alexander Rodgers who was fighting Muslim Moro rebels in the Philippines in 1911.° " " Rodgers inaugurated a system of burying all dead juramentados in a common grave with the carcasses of slaughtered pigs. The Mohammedan religion forbids contact with pork; and this relatively simple device resulted in the withdrawal of juramentados to sections not containing a Rodgers. Other officers took up the principle, adding new refinements to make it additionally unattractive to the Moros. In some sections the Moro juramentado was beheaded after death and the head sewn inside the carcass of a pig. And so the rite of running juramentado, at least semi-religious in character, ceased to be in Sulu. The last cases of this religious mania occurred in the early decades of the century. The juramentados were replaced by the amucks. .. who were simply homicidal maniacs with no religious significance attaching to their acts."
"Terrorism is not an ideology, it is a tool; but the terrorists kill for an ideology. They call that ideology Islam."

.g Since the primary focus of this website is on Global Climate Change, we find the quote below to be relevant. The quote below is from: Medieval Islamic Food http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/islam/food/index.htm°
"Throughout the Islamic empire there is a big change from the Roman° to the Islamic period where people stop keeping pigs and start keeping more goats and sheep° instead. This unfortunately had a bad effect on the environment,° because pigs do not destroy a forest when they live in it, but sheep and goats do. As a result of there being more sheep and goats, the landscape of North Africa, especially, was stripped of a lot of trees, and a lot of what had been forest turned into bare hills with just little scrubby bushes on them. Without the trees to hold the soil, a lot of dirt washed off the hills into the ocean, and the farmland was no longer as good as it had been before." .g |
