“A cousin of mine in E”Y once said that every Muslim terrorist who is caught should be executed and wrapped in pigskin or fed to pigs. Perhaps THAT would be a deterrent to that particular group. (They can’t get to Paradise and their 72 ladies in that case).”
For Daniela and NFGo, please re-read the first few words of that sentence I wrote. MY ISRAELI COUSIN (not I), told over that proposal to me, it MOST CERTAINLY is not my own thought or idea. It is not even HIS original idea, either, having been discussed in E”Y by many frum and not frum people. I have heard of this idea here in the USA from many other sources, including rabbonim. I do NOT propose it be carried out. But I do believe that if the Arab cowards THOUGHT it would be, perhaps that would be a deterrent, because they believe they cannot go to their gan eden with pig on them. So maybe they would think twice about terrorist activities that could get them caught. (Wouldn’t help with homicide bombers, though).
Daniela, the rest of your post, while I believe well-intentioned, just made no sense to me, in respect to my own post. I get the sense that you must be very young, with the youthful exuberance often shown by those who have not lived long enough years to refrain from reactive and combative dialogue while trying to make your case. What you expressed so articulately but also in my humble opinion a little misguidedly, had nothing to do with my post whatsoever. Honestly.
Perhaps if you re-read what I wrote, rather than mistakenly infer what you think I was saying, you will realize I was not proposing anything. I am just not a naive little girl anymore, as I once was in the liberal days of my own youthful exuberance. I am very sorry that you got the wrong idea from my words. I should have chosen them more carefully, apparently.
