Hellish Solution

So what can civilized and righteous armies do against Moslem fanatics who don't mind taking a quick ride along the Allah Express to oblivion? Perhaps an example was set by a certain American, General John "Black Jack" Pershing.
General Pershing was in charge of a U.S. garrison in the Philippines in 1911. It seems his soldiers were subjected to a series of terror attacks by Filipino Moslems. Pershing did not try to put together a "road map." Nor did he set up study groups to find out why the Moslems hated the Americans. Nor did he offer them a series of "good will gestures." Nor did he put up a giant wall to keep them out. ...

Instead, he captured fifty of those Moslem terrorists. He then had them dig their own graves. And so, on the count of three, all but one of those Paradise-seeking Islamists were shot dead! .... You may ask, "Why was one Moslem spared?" The answer is simple. This sole survuvor was released and sent back to his fellow 'mujahedin' to report what he had just witnessed. For the next 42 years there was not a single jihadist attack.
