The Isrealis are Thinking Outside the Box

This is gross, but I admire the lateral thinking behind it. The always-informative Mirabilis links to a story of how Israel might use pig fat to ward off suicide bombers:

Israeli police are said to be considering putting bags of pig fat on buses and in shopping centres to try to deter Muslim suicide bombers. The suggestion is based on the fact that strict Muslim tradition says any Muslim who comes in contact with a pig before dying will be denied access to paradise.

  1. Heck, I think they should assign each bus a cute pot-belly pig as a mascot, kinda like dalmations on fire trucks.

  2. If this superstitious
    tradition/religion is true then replace the Star of David with the image of a pig.
    Wouldn’t that be something?
