Carl, keep in mind that the Geneva Convention [which is really just a victor's rulebook] doesn't apply to common criminal murderers.

For example, who has been prosecuted on a winner's side for war crimes or crimes against humanity? Was Lt William Calley? How about nuclear bombs on civilian populations? Osama isn't running an army and the Shoe Bomber was a terrorist, not a soldier. Tim McVeigh wasn't a soldier.

I don't believe that Moslems would think that infidels wrapping their bodies in pigskin would affect their acceptance by Allah. I expect it would confirm their contempt for infidels as contemptuous barbarian heathens.
