Its not that this isn't true, its the scale of the problem, and the silence when its other Muslims, in Palestine or Myanmar, etc.

          That paper is like the Daily Mail on steroids. It's right-wing tabloid garbage started by the founder of Samsung. I was looking at the "family tree" section of his wiki and it's just Korean bourgeoisie laid bare.

                    The kooky leader renewed the call to round up the household pets again in July, a source told the South Korean newspaper Chosen Ilbo.

                    That newspaper is the parent company of JoongAng. This is like the South Korean Murdoch empire.

              They release like all of these insane propaganda stories. With a small exception for a Chinese satirical paper that makes fun of them (but is then taken seriously when translated).

        I never heard of this so I obviously had to google it, this shit is pretty fucked up.

        But at least there were some issues with this method:

        Things did not always work out according to plan at such executions; at a mass execution at Firozpur in 1857, there was an order that blank cartridge should be used, but some guns were loaded with grapeshot instead. Several of the spectators facing the cannons were hit by the grapeshot and some had to have limbs amputated as a result. In addition, some of the soldiers had not been withdrawn properly and sustained injuries from being hit by whizzing pieces of flesh and bone.

        Eat shit I'd say.

            Well, they say they used it in the 16th century, but they note the Portuguese using it as early as 1509 as well.
            So it might be up for debate.
