"SPOKANE, Wash. (RNS) Still angry about the idea of an Islamic cultural center opening near Ground Zero, a group of Idaho gun enthusiasts decided to fight back with a new line of pork-laced bullets. South Fork Industries, based in Dalton Gardens, Idaho, claims its ammunition, called Jihawg Ammo, is a “defensive deterrent to those who violently act in the name of Islam.” The bullets are coated in pork-infused paint, which the company states makes the ammo “haram,” or unclean, and therefore will keep a Muslim who’s shot with one of the bullets from entering paradise. “With Jihawg Ammo, you don’t just kill an Islamist terrorist, you also send him to hell. That should give would-be martyrs something to think about before they launch an attack. If it ever becomes necessary to defend yourself and those around you our ammo works on two levels,” the company said in a press release earlier this month. The company’s website bills the bullets as “Peace Through Pork” and a “peaceful and natural deterrent to radical Islam.” There’s a related line of apparel that feature slogans like “Put Some Ham in MoHAMed” and a target poster that says “Give Em a Spankin with some Bacon.” “The nullifying principle of our product is only effective if you are attacked by an Islamist in Jihad,” the company’s website says. “Otherwise, our ammo functions just like any other ammunition, so we obviously insist upon defensive use of our ammo only-not offensive.” Company officials declined requests to comment. However, Shannon Dunn, assistant professor of religious studies at Gonzaga University, said South Fork’s concept is based on an inaccurate understanding of the Quran. “There is no penalty for coming into contact with pork given by the Quran,” she said, pointing to verses that prohibit the consumption of pork and carrion that are reminiscent of Jewish dietary laws outlined in Leviticus. “To my knowledge, Muslims, especially unknowingly, would not be banned from heaven for eating or getting hit by pork,” she said. “There are some interpreters who suggest that Muslims should eat pork rather than starve, if faced with that alternative.” Nevertheless, the ammo has plenty of supporters, with more than 4,300 people liking it on Facebook. One fan, Ted of California, said he planned to buy 500 rounds. Another, Jeffrey, said he hoped someone would smuggle the bullets into U.S. military troops."

is bullshit.

Actually, it's brilliant. You've got people doing things in the name of their religion (even if the claims are tenuous at best). What better way to fight back than to use their own religion against them. Is it culturally insensitive? Sure.

6/23/2013 5:59:03 PM

Perhaps you didn't get the message.

Their whole premise that the terrorists would go to hell BECAUSE of the bullets is categorically FALSE.

So no, it is not brilliant, it is a blatant and childish lie.

6/23/2013 6:03:59 PM

I don't think it works that way. Due to pigs being considered an unclean animal, they just can't willingly/knowningly ingest pork.

I bet getting shot doesn't qualify as doing something knowingly or willingly...


My two cents

[Edited on June 23, 2013 at 6:05 PM. Reason : i know muslims that have mistakenly eaten pork. they just shrugged it off..]

jesus christ why are y'all ruining my funny thread

if you think this is a good idea you're a moron

if you think anyone in this thread believes the concept will work from a technical standpoint you are also a moron

is that so far fetched to believe that some people in this thread, or at least on tww think this idea will work? i mean, the makers of those bullets think it will work, and there are quite a few gung-ho xenophobic ignorant meat-heads on here

It might be the only way for pork to enter jaybee's body faster than it already does.
