Pigs and Islamist Terrorists ll

    Serendipitously, I found another alleged way to stop attacks by Islamists. I read this last night in Adrian Tinniswood's Pirates of Barbary: Corsairs, Conquests, and Captivity in the 17th -Century Mediterranean, and it began with "The Moroccan qaid, or chieftain, Umar ben Haddu, was camped with an army of 7,000 men less than a mile from town, and his troops were digging a network of trenches and cross-trenches which was coming closer and closer to the forts that defended the English lines....Just before dawn the Moors retreated without having managed to breach the wall, and Wilson, still not daring to open the gates of the fort, let down five men on ropes to clear away the timber seigeworks and burn them. They also decapitated two of the corpses left behind by Umar's army and raised the heads on poles 'in sight of the Moorish camp, which all of the nation hold for the greatest indignity that can be put upon them, because according to their Mahometan superstition, they hold that when they die, their bodies immediately are translated into paradise, but if they are dismembered they can in no wise enter.'"
    To a literalist, this is confusing: the Muslims' head weren't severed immediately so they are already in the supposed great whorehouse in the sky by the time the English dared to get to their dead bodies the next day. So why bother to decapitate them and display their heads? Is it possible they were hoping that the Muslims would think their comrades had been killed by decapitation and therefore weren't going to the whorehouse in the sky?
    But this may give us something to use.  If it is true that death by decapitation denies entrance into the Great Whorehouse In The Sky, we can exploit this by killing and decapitating Islamic terrorists and putting the proceedings on YouTube videos for the world to see. Instead of sending drones with missiles that kill innocents- a grievous wrong as well as a huge mistake as it causes hate for us all over the world [Is this why President Obama insists on using drones over Special Forces?] and it increases the recruitment of terrorists, we can send in Special Forces where possible. Special Forces shoot as accurately kill and discriminately as man can, and they can possibly capture or wound the terrorists, decapitate them, record the proceedings and put the videos on YouTube as proof. Then ISIS and all the other Muslim terrorist groups could no longer guarantee their fighters paradise if they were killed in jihad. This should make jihad dramatically less appetizing.
