Some terrorism experts believe that we should fight Islamic fundamentalists by adopting psychological warfare tactics, such as did the British when they occupied the Protectorate of Palestine. According to Muslim belief, a "shahid" (suicide bomber) will be rewarded in heaven. However, any contact with a pig carcass or pork bars a Muslim's entry to heaven. When Palestinian Arab terrorists were captured by the British, they were executed in a public hanging with pieces of pork in their mouths, followed by head-down burials in post-holes. A similar tactic was used by the British in the1930's in India, when they buried the body of a Muslim terrorist in pig skin. The desecration was widely publicized, and the rash of suicide bombings ceased immediately. For Muslim terrorists, the threat of execution or life imprisonment is simply not a deterrent.
