The story came up as Trump reiterated his support for waterboarding, the advanced interrogation technique that the Obama administration considers torture and has ceased using.

So he thinks he's an expert now?

What an idiot.

The whole "if we shoot them with bullets dipped in lard or bury them with pigs they won't get into Paradise" thing is bullshit on its face; Allah punishes you for bad things you did, not bad things other people did to you.

I'd start by giving him a self-consiciousness and then forcing him to listen to one of his speeches.

Couldn't find another pig in this story.

werewolves, possession, satanic rituals and so on. In their demon-haunted world, people all have similar superstitions about power, and good or bad objects which affect it, to ones they have. So they see a fighter from another religion as being obsessed with superstition as they are in their normal lives.

If they actually stopped and thought "how would we react in the equivalent situation", they'd never believe the crap Trump was selling. If they heard of Catholic American soldiers who were force-fed desecrated communion bread and wine before being killed, or Jewish soldiers shot with pigs-blood-dipped bullets, they wouldn't expect their comrades to say "we give up! It's too much of a danger to our souls to fight these heathens!". They'd probably say "now the bastards are disrespecting our religions!" and fight harder. It's as if they haven't heard the word 'martyr' before.

Trump: If it sounds good, use it.

rumours that Muslim and Hindu soldiers were being told to use cartridges greased with pig and beef fat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Rebellion_of_1857#Tallow_and_lard-greased_cartridges

But that involved the men doing something themselves, not what other people do to them.

Waterboarding is only minimal torture in the Orwellian world of Dick Chaney.

We have prosecuted waterboarding in the past as torture, so it is torture under American law. it kills people, how much more torturous can you get? If he likes it so much, he should undergo it himself and see if he thinks it's torture then.
