#NotAllMuslims Complain About Proposed ‘Anti-Terror’ Device Filled With Pigs’ Blood

Font Size:

Sure, suicide bombing is bad. But is it as bad as disrespecting a suicide bomber’s religious beliefs?

Jasper Hamill at Mirror.uk is suitably outraged:

An American inventor has unveiled an offensive “anti-terror” system designed to spray Muslims with pig blood…

[Franklin R Lacy of Tampa, FL] has applied for a patent on a “system for protecting against terrorist and illegal invasion” which cruelly exploits the Islamic ban on eating or even handling pork…

His invention involves placing containers of clearly labelled pig blood in sensitive areas, in the hope suicide attackers would avoid detonating a bomb nearby for fear of getting covered in it…

Fiyaz Mughal, director of the interfaith group Faith Matters, said the device has “been created by someone who seeks to humiliate specific faiths”.

Is this “anti-terror” system a cockamamie idea? Yes. Mr. Lacy shouldn’t start shopping for yachts just yet.

Is it disgusting? Absolutely. Blech.

But unless you’re a suicide bomber and you’re somewhere you’re not supposed to be, how is it humiliating? In this scenario, as stupid and unfeasible and just plain gross as it is, you’d only get sprayed with pigs’ blood if you blew yourself up.

So, um… don’t blow yourself up.

Is that too much to ask?

How does this “humiliate” the vast majority of Muslims who, as we’re constantly reminded, are not terrorists? How are they the victims here?

Oh, now I remember: Because Muslims are always the victims. Never mind.
