When I was in Iraq in 2008 I caught one of my soldiers with a bottle of that crap. I made him roll around in the moondust until he vomited and told my section (I had 6 troops working for me) that if I caught that poo poo again they'd all get the same and I'd report them to the commander. That was literally the only time I ever actually punished a soldier that way and I'm still angry about it to this day.

God dammit.

It's weird that use of this product seemingly requires a lot of faith in Islamic beliefs, since in most cases the victims will have no idea that this was being used in the first place. Only Mohammed can really be sure.

According to the website, the owner is a member of the USMC, claiming to be a scout sniper. I really hope someone doxxes his rear end and something may be done about such a virulently racist man in your military.


Yup. Must be why they linked to that horrible 'Religion of Peace' site on the bottom. See, they're not racist, they just want all terrorists to die! And all terrorists are muslims!

What's even more inane is that killing a muslim terrorist with a pork bullet would do nothing, since I'm *pretty sure* I read elsewhere in this thread that forced consumption/absorption of the forbidden material/food is forgiven in the Qur'an.

I'm pretty sure Muslims don't work like vampires or werewolves. Adding pork to things doesn't make them shrink away or kill them gooder or whatever like garlic or silver does to supernatural monsters.

Also, I don't know much about guns, but lubricating a machine with pork fat just plain sounds like a bad idea?

The sand in a lot of Iraq is about as fine as talcum powder, hence calling it moon dust. Rolling around in it is exactly what it sounds like, I made him roll in it as fast as he could from one end of the big parking lot where we kept our trucks to the other until he vomited, the racist shithead.

Somehow, somebody, somewhere, believes that you can shoot Muslims with anointed bullets that will destroy their heathen souls. If you believe that, you are about one degree of de-humanization from going on one of those killing sprees that happens every so often.

It depends on the leadership in the unit. I was cavalry the whole time I was in and I had units where racism was given a wink and a nod and units where it was all dogwhistles and codewords because the command would tear you up for saying that poo poo out loud in front of people. Luckily my last unit was of the last sort, although it's amazing to see who is and isn't racist as they ETS (finish their contract and become a civilian) on Facebook. The day after they ETS it all comes out in a big flood of lovely Obama macros and misspelled rants about welfare leeches and Muslims.

Arabic doesn't quite have an alphabet. Much like Hebrew, it has an Abjad, meaning that vowels are not usually directly represented, and consonants reign supreme.

My Arabic isn't all that good, but from the pictures of Anwar Sadat, and the title talking about the War of October 1973 (known as The Yom Kippur War in Israel), and from the formatting, and the names of some of the section titles, I'd say it looks like some kind of historical informational entry. Kind of weird for you to be spammed with it. Deciphering more of it will be easier if you post either a link or a higher-resolution image.

The title is "Introduction to the October 1973 War". I'm only a student though, so I can try to translate it later, but someone else might come along and know more. :)
