It seems many non-muslims seem to be under the impression that if a muslim comes in contact with pork, they will not go to Heaven?
Yes, Muslims believe that pork is an unclean animal. But "burying them in pig blood", or launching "pork rinds" at them before some misdirected Islamic-like terrorist attempts to blow us all to bits is not going to prevent them from reaching Paradise. (nor enjoying the 70 virgins so many non-muslims seem to believe are waiting for Islamic martyrs)
Does our ignorance have no bounds? Is it just easier for us to demonize those we do not know about and thereby suggest remedies that are closer to fighting off vampires than actual solutions to our current differences?
Our President likes to refer to an "Axis of Evil", yet where does Christ teach us to declare a population or society as evil? Isn't it possible our actions as a nation be characterized as evil to others?
Are we becoming blind sheep, just accepting the poisoned grain our masters feed us?

Do you REALLY believe someone ready to end his life will "hesitate" because you are waiving a pork product at him???

Some believe it is "worth a shot" to try using pork as a weapon.
Is it because we expect simple and quick solutions that we would rather try something outlandish instead of addressing the REAL problem at hand?
Referencing the "story" of General Pershing is hardly a good example of how we have use this technique in the past successfully. His story is little more than urban legend on the Internet:

The pork idea already was used successfully after WWI.
Since a lot of the martyr stuff is based on the same type of mindless faith common among Christians, the idea that they will end up bathed in pork may just make some of these idiots reconsider their willingness to throw their life away, if they also believe that will abort their entry into their reward.
That it is not rational doesn't mean a thing as it wouldn't be used against rational people. And that MAKES it rational!
Besides most other things we have done haven't worked too well despite the expenditure of $800 Billion. Using a little pork would certainly be worth a try.

It would be worth considering, taking C-131 Transports filled with pig juice and spray the entire middle east like a crop duster.
Folklore? Muhammad hated Pork. he implemented this in the Quran.
Muslims are very very superstitious.

It isn't that the pork products would actually cause them to go to hell, the idea is to instill fear and hesitation. It might work for that. Most Muslims are just as ignorant and superstitious as anyone else.

Pork worked with General Allenby and General Pershing.
It is a very formidable and devious weapon.

I am just wondering.....Jews aren't allowed to eat pork either. and in the Bible Jesus said that he didn't come to change the scripture, just reinforce it. Muslims are also not allowed to eat pork and Islam came after Christianity (or as I would call it Islam with Jesus as the prophet PBUH).
So why do Christians think that they can eat pork...this doesn't make sense.

My friend, swine is not only forbidden in Islam but actually most religious scriptures from different religions tell you do the same.

I have never heard those suggestions, but I did hear that a while back Israel was thinking of putting packages of pig fat on buses to discourage suicide bombers.
even if it is irrelevant to the religion if it makes one potential suicide bomber change his mind its worth it.
