What is Donald Trump's humiliating myth about Muslims? What is the story of John Pershing
Donald Trump, after ISIL's terrorist operations in Barcelona, called on Twitter to study Gen. John Pershing's methods of combating terrorism.
According to a myth that has been questioned historically, the former US Army general has shot 50 Muslim prisoners in the Philippines in the early 20th century with the guns infested with pig's blood. This myth suggests that contamination of the blood of this animal which is forbidden and unclean in traditional believes of Muslims, prevents them from entering Paradise. According to Trump, after General Pershing's action, for 35 years , there was no trace and sign of assassination!
Donald Trump had also narrated this myth during the presidential campaign in 2016. According to historians, the narrated story of General Pershing, which was created during the age of rebellion of the Moro Muslim region in the Philippines (between 1899 and 1913), is not documented. It is worth mentioning that anti-Islamic tweets of Trump have been the source of mass protests in the United States and all around the world.
