Warfare amongst the Native Americans was constant. There were three motivations for fighting: to acquire personal prestige, vengeance for enemy attacks and to obtain prisoners for sacrifice. Captured women over twelve would be raped and then killed. Babies had their heads bashed against trees. Children up to ten years old would have their throats cut. Children from ten to twelve years old would be taken to be sold as slaves. Captured men over twelve would be taken back for torture. Our information about Indian torture comes from survivors and white observers. Jesuit priests living with the Indians gave detailed reports, as did European troops who were allied with different Indian groups. There were very few captives who survived to tell the tale. The question is why would anyone allow themselves to by taken alive? The answer is that they still hoped to escape. The Indians would first tear out their captives fingernails and would bit off their trigger or bow fingers. They would then tie-up their victims with leather straps. The prisoners would have their arms tied behind their back and their feet would be tied so they could only walk in slow shuffle. The Indians would cut the captives neck and shoulder muscles so they would be unable to work-out of their bonds. As they passed other villages of their tribe they would stop and let them in on the fun. The victims would be stripped naked and forced to walk between lines of Indians who would cut them, burn them and hit them. At this point they might be saved if an Indian women took a fancy to them. They would then become married and the prisoner would be adopted into the tribe. This rarely happened however. The real torture started when they arrived at the home village of the warriors. The torture could last up to a week. The captive would first be given over to the bachelor warriors. They would build a bed of hot coals with Indians holding torches on each side. The prisoner had to run back and forth through the fire while also being burned by the torches. This continued all day until the captive became unconscious. The next day he would be rested and fed. The third day the 14-18 year olds would play with the victim. The youths would cut and stab him in the arms, legs and bottom and then quickly plunge glowing brands into the wounds to stop the flow of blood. This was followed by another day of rest and refreshment. The next group to have a go at the captive were the women. The torture they inflicted was so horrible that none of our witnesses would describe it. Again there was a day of recovery before the final ordeal. The morning of his last day the Indians would build a six-seven foot high scaffold. This would be built near a tree with an overhanging branch. The prisoners arms would be pulled up to the branch and tied while he stood on the platform. This was done so the entire village could see the prisoner squirm. First they would make the captive eat his own flesh. They would for example cut off his ear and force him to chew and swallow it. Hot brands were then thrust down his throat, into his eyes and up his rectum. They would then tear his scalp off and pour burning pitch on his head. When it was clear he was near death they would break open his head with a club and then cut it off. His stomach was cut open and his intestines were cut-up and put on sticks for the children to carry around, as a sign of victory. His body was then cut-up and eaten by the tribe.
more of breukelen's fear-mongering. aparently, we're supposed to believe that EVERY native american tribe committed these acts, so of course that justified their extermination/genocide by the european settlers.

so now that must mean that every muslim is evil, and must be tortured.

you and tholiak should hook up and smoke together. crack heads think alike. :thumbsup:
