What we need is a General Black Jack Pershing.

I like the e-mail I have just received.

What we need is a General Black Jack Pershing.

General Black Jack Pershing was born September 13th, 1860 and died July 15th, 1948 in Washington DC.

Just before World War 1 there were a number of terrorist attacks on the United States forces in the Philippines by Muslim extremists. So General Pershing captured 50 terrorists and had them tied to posts for execution. He had his men bring in two pigs and slaughter them in front of the now horrified terrorists. Muslims detest pork because they believe pigs are filthy animals. Some of them simply refuse to eat it, while others won't even touch pigs at all, norl any ofl their by-products. To them, eating or touching a pig, its meat, its blood, etc is to be instantly barried from paradise (and those virgins) and doomed to hell. The soldiers then soaked their bullets in the pigs blood, and proceeded to execute 49 of the terrorists by firing squad. The soldiers then dug a big hole, dumped in the terrorist's bodies and covered them in pig blood, entrails, etc. Thjey let the 50th man go. And for the next forty-two years, there was not a single Muslim extremist attack anywhere in the world. Maybe it is time for this segment of history to repeat itself, maybe in Iraq? The question is, where do we find another Black Jack Pershing?

Not another Muslim extremist attack anywhere in the world? Somebody needs to read their history books. Edit: Pershing was Governor of Moro Province from 1909 to 1913, then that means nothing until 1951 at the earliest. So - no unrest in Pakistan? Burma? India? Sudan? Egypt? Not to mention Nigeria, Tangyanika or Persia.

Do me a lemon.

Oh yes - and the story may well be made up. Your source for the verification of all Urban Legends, Snopes.com, says undetermined:
