AMERICAN Muslims reportedly have taken offense at a suggestion by a US state senator that bodies of Muslim terrorists be buried with pig entrails to deter suicide attacks.

Guy Glodis, a Democrat in the Massachusettes state legislator, sent a flier, lifted from a US newspaper, saying Muslims were barred from entering paradise if they were buried with pig's blood, entrails, etc.

Muslims are forbidden by their religion from eating pork or having any contact with pigs.

Yes, Glodis' suggestion is unfair. To the pigs.
