Rabbis OK Israeli police plan to use pig lard to ward off suicide bombers
Israel Insider
By Ellis Shuman February 12, 2004

Muslim tradition holds that any Muslim who comes in contact with a pig before
dying will be denied access to heaven.

It's Kosher: Bomb-sniffing pigs will help protect settlements

Israeli police are considering using bags of pig lard in buses and other
places to deter Muslim suicide bombers, Maariv reported today. The proposal
received the Jerusalem rabbinate's approval.

The police's suggestion is based on the fact that strict Muslim tradition holds
that any Muslim who comes in contact with a pig before dying will be denied
access to heaven.

Previously, Minister without portfolio Gideon Ezra (Likud) and others suggested
burying the corpses of suicide bombers wrapped in pigskin as a deterrent. The
proposal never got serious consideration in Israel, with opponents suggesting
that it would only serve to encourage suicide bombers, egged on by clerics
stating that Jews were defiling Islamic burial rites.

Russian security forces reportedly buried Chechen terrorists in pigskin last
year in attempts to end their suicide bombing attacks.

Israeli police have considered using pigs, or pig products to ward off
terrorism in the past, but needed a rabbinical permit to carry it out, as
Judaism, like Islam, regards the pig as an unclean animal, Maariv reported.

Rabbi Eliezer Moshe Fisher, of the Jerusalem Rabbinical Court, ruled yesterday
that "there is no Halachic ban on using bags of lard in buses and other places"
when saving lives is concerned. The Halachic permit says bags of lard may be
used in any place that might be a target for suicide bombings, such as schools,
shopping malls and railway stations.

The rabbi also said that if the police do not use pig fat in buses, tens of
thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews will arm themselves with toy water pistols
filled with liquid lard to be used against terrorists, Maariv reported.

"If bags of pig lard will prevent zealous Moslem terrorists from carrying out
attacks, I'm all for it," said Deputy Internal Security Minister Ya'acov Edri
(Likud) in response to the plan.

In October, former Chief Rabbi Mordehai Eliyahu and Kiryat Arba's Chief Rabbi
Dov Lior gave their endorsement to a proposal to test the use of wild pigs in
detecting terrorist infiltrators and explosives in West Bank communities.

"Boars could be better than dogs in finding mines and explosives," said a
former trainer of sniffer dogs.

"The prohibition of raising the pig is known," said Rabbi Daniel Shilo of
Kedumim, who serves as chairman of the rabbinical committee of the Yesha
Council of Jewish Communities in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip. "But
because we are dealing with pikuach nefesh, the saving of lives, it is
permissible to have the animal."

We have got to put a stop to this madness! If the Jewish regligious
leaders decide it's ok to use pigs to fight terrorists, then the
Muslim religious leaders are going to decide it's ok to touch pigs
before dying. And once they get used to using pigs and touching pigs,
how long do you think it's going to take before they decide maybe it's
ok to start eating pigs??? NOT LONG. And once they start eating
pigs, we're gonna have 6,000+ years of pent-up bbq denial to deal
with. And what's that going to do to the price of pigs????

Now is the time to nip this pig escalation in the bud! Write your
congress critters and demand they include a porcine non-proliferation
clause in any Mid-East peace process.

This is not at all a bizarre idea, at least if you look at it in an
historical context: I am surprised nobody mentioned this:

http://web.genie.it/utenti/i/inanna/...ompagnia-i.htm

In 1857 the use of animal fat in the cartridges provoked the rage in Hindu
soldiers, who thought tath cartridges had been made with the meat of cow,
and in the muslim soldiers, who thought it was of pig. In fact the tip of
the cartridges had to be torn with the teeth and no soldier wanted to
violate the alimentary prohibition of their own religion.

Also...

http://1911encyclopedia.org/I%5CIN%5CINDIAN_MUTINY.htm.

To this accumulation of inflammatory materials a spark was put jn 1857 by an
act of almost incredible folly on the part of the military authorities in
India. The introduction The d of the Mini rifle, with its greased
cartridges, was ~7Zges. accompanied by no consideration of the religious
prejudices of the Bengal sepoys, to whom, whether Hindus or Mahommedans, the
fat of cows and pigs was anathema. It was easy for agitators to persuade the
sepoys that the new cartridges were greased with the fat of animals sacred
to one creed or forbidden to another, and that the British government was
thus engaged in a deep-laid plot for forcing them to become Christians by
first making them outcasts from their own religions. The growth of
missionary enterprise in India lent color to this theory, which was
supported by the fact that no precau~ons hati been taken to grease the
Indian cartridges with a neutral fat, such as that of sheep and goats. The
researches of Mr G. W. Forrest in the Indian government records have shown
that the sepoys fears of defilement by biting the new cartridges had a
considerable foundation in fact. At a court-martial in 1857 Colonel Abbott,
inspector general of ordnance, gave evidence that the tallow might or might
not have contained the fat of cows. No attempt, in fact, had been made to
exclude the fat of cows and pigs, and apparently no one had realized that a
gross outrage was thus being perpetrated on the religious feelings of both
Hindu and Mahommedan sepoys. The lowcaste natives employed in the arsenals
knew what grease was actually being employed, and tatinted the Brahman
sepoys with the loss of caste that would follow their use of the new
cartridges. Refusals to accept the suspected cartridges were soon heard in
the Bengal army. The numerous agitators who bad their own reasons for
fomenting mutiny rose to the occasion, and in the first months of 1857 the
greater part of the Bengal presidency was seething with sedition, At this
time took place the mysterious distribution of chapatis, small cakes of
unleavened bread, which had previously been known in connection with the
mutiny at Vellore (1806). From village to village, from district to
district, through hill-land and lowland, the signalunexplained at the time,
inexplicable stillsped; and in village after village, in district after
district, the spreading of the signal was followed by the increased
excitement of the people.
