An example of such a defense against Islamic terror can be found in the pre World War I actions of General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing. In the early years of the 20th century, there were a number of Islamic terrorist attacks against American forces in the Philippines. General Pershing, acting in his capacity as the Military Governor of Moro Province, responded to the terrorism by capturing 50 terrorists and having them tied to posts for execution.
General Pershing had his soldier's slaughter two pigs in the presence of the captured terrorists who believed that upon their deaths, their souls would immediately be whisked up to an Islamic paradise where they would be rewarded for their murderous deeds with eternal debauchery. Traditional Islamic texts describe this paradise as one in which alcohol always flows freely and the soul is eternally indulged with the best of every kind of food and luxury. The Islamic martyr is taught, as an example of one variation of the theme, that his eternal reward in Paradise will be a permanent erection and the endless sexual pleasures of young virginal girls and beautiful boys dressed in silk clothes.
By the same token, the traditional texts indicate that by eating the flesh of a pig, or even by touching a pig, the Muslim is condemned to eternal damnation which is why the captured terrorists were horrified at the sight of the slaughtered pigs. Pershing's soldiers proceeded to dip their bullets into the blood of the pigs, in full view of the terrorists, and then to execute 49 out of 50 who found themselves in front of a firing squad. These men had already been involved in cowardly crimes of terror against Americans. The soldiers then dug a large pit, threw the corpses into the pit, and then threw the pig's carcasses on top of the corpses making sure that their bodies were covered with pig's blood and entrails. The surviving 50th man was then let go as an eyewitness.
For the next several decades there was not a single recorded Islamic terrorist attack against an American anywhere in the world.
