National Guard Criticized For Anti-Islam Poster

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Islamic leaders and peace groups are criticizing the California National Guard for a flier posted in its headquarters suggesting the United States should execute Islamic terrorists with bullets dipped in pig's blood to deny them entry to heaven.


The poster attributes the practice to World War I General John J. Pershing.


"Maybe it is time for this segment of history to repeat itself, maybe in Iraq?" the flier stated. It was posted outside a cubicle in the Guard's Civil Support Division.


A second flier showed the wings and tail of a bomber forming a peace sign with the slogan, "Peace the old fashioned way." Also posted was a cartoon from a Web site showing a Red Crescent ambulance stuffed with weapons and a caricature that looks like the late-Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat unloading the weapons.

1. Good grief. Freakin' morans. One trip to Snopes reveals the BS behind that
Pershing never did that. NO ONE ever did what was claimed.

3. Wow the California guard is screwing themselves pretty badly as of late.
Those were some bigoted and fucked up comanders that let that shit stay up.
