Jihadi Du Jour: Rachel's Law Passed by NY Legislators

Muslims have taken a lesson from Genghis Khan. Consider the modern self-governing Muslim region of Ningxia, China which was once the Xixia empire conquered by the Mongols in 1227. When the Mongol Ruler arrived at the great walled city of Volohoi, he convinced the city commander that Mongols would leave if the city sent out 1,000 cats and several thousand swallows. When he got them, Genghis had bits of cloth tied to their tails and set the cloth on fire. Genghis then loosed the cats and birds against the city. When they fled back they set hundreds of fires. Genghis then had no problem sacking the city.
