I'll post this again about the Muslim slimes. I am 1/2 pole and the only thing that stopped the horde for 300 years was the poles.
All of Europe would be dead or Dhimis now.
Slippy, I've got good hardwood and plenty of it. And I've got a shovel to make the holes for pikes.
As far as non-evil Muslims, few and far between, but I've known some. But there is a lot of evil Christians too.
QUOTE=Mad Trapper;1903963]I like the Slippy pike idea:
But there was no time for regrets now; everything must
yield to the execution. Lusnia stooped down and seizing
both hips he placed them in position and called cut to the
men who were holding the horses:
"Move on, but slowly, and together!"
The horses moved forward; the ropes became taut and pul-
led Azya's legs. In an instant his body was dragged along
the earth and reached the point of the stake. Then the point
began to penetrate him and something horrible began,
something repugnant to nature and humanity. The bones
of the wretch separated; his body parted in two directions; in-
describable agony, so awful as almost to verge on some mon-
strous delight, passed through him. The stake sank deeper
and deeper. Azya set his teeth, but could not endure it; his
teeth were bared in a horrible grin and from his throat came
a noise like the croak of a raven: "Ah! ah! ah!"
"Slowly!" the sergeant ordered.
Then he shouted to the men:
"Pull together! Stop! There, it is finished."
And he turned towards Azya who had suddenly become
silent except for a deep rattle in his throat.
The horses were quickly unhitched; then the stake was set
up and planted with the thick end in a hole prepared for it
and earth was packed round it. The son of Tukhay Bey
looked down on the work. He was conscious. This norrible
species of punishment was the more awful in that the victims
of impalement sometimes lingered for three days. Azya's
head was bowed on his breast; his lips were moving and
smacking as if he were tasting something. He then experi-
enced extreme faintness and saw a kind of thick grey mist
before his eyes which seemed dreadful for some reason or
other, and in this mist he recognized the faces of the sergeant
and the dragoons and saw that he was on the stake and that
the weight of his own body was sinking him deeper and
deeper. Then he began to get numb from the feet upwards
and less and less sensitive to pain.
Sometimes that grey mist became obscured and then he
would blink with his sound eye in the desire to witness every-
thing before his death. His gaze wandered persistently from
torch to torch, for it seemed that there was a rainbow circle
round each flame.
But his tortures were not over: presently the sergeant ap-
proached the stake with an augur in his hand and cried to
those about:
"Lift me up."
Two strong men hoisted him. Azya began to watch him
narrowly, blinking, as if trying to find out what kind of man
was climbing up to his elevation. Then the sergeant said:
"The lady knocked out one eye, and I vowed to bore out
the other."
Then he drove the point into the pupil and gave a couple
of twists and, when the lid and delicate skin surrounding the
eye were wound round the thread of the augur, he gave a jerk.
Then two streams of blood gushed from Azya's eye-sockets
and flowed down his cheeks like two streams of tears.
His face grew paler and paler. The dragoons extinguished
the torches in silence as if ashamed that light should shine on
such a dreadful deed, and from the moon's crescent fell faint
silvery rays on Azya's body. His head bowed low on his
breast; but his hands, bound to the oak staff and wrapped in
straw dipped in tar, were pointed upwards to the sky, as if
that son of the Orient were calling down the vengeance of the
Turkish crescent on his executioners.
"To horse!" was heard from Pan Adam.
Before mounting, with the last torch the sergeant set fire
to those uplifted hands of the Tartar, and the detachment
took their way towards Yampol. Amid the ruins of Rashkov
in the middle of the night and the desert, Azya, the son of
Tukhay Bey, remained on the lofty stake and gleamed
for a long time.[/QUOTE]
