Pork-laced bullets sending Muslims straight to Hell

[Foxaèr]

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.

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.

That is super creepy on so many levels.

I'd be curious if Islamic extremists would actually be afraid of those. I mean, they're afraid of eating the pig it doesn't seem like that far of a stretch (especially for a religious fundamentalist) for them to fear being injected with the pig.

Why not use woo to fight woo?

Next thing you know we'll be dropping pork bombs on the Taliban. Oh my...

“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.”

Demonstrating yet again that the stupidity of the fascist right is damned near limitless.

Minimalist beat me to it.

A "defensive deterrent". Mhmm, I totally buy it.

You know, I wonder if there will be some Mufti who claims that there's some sort of loophole that'll keep them from being worried.

Using pork based WMD’s against Muslims is an urban legend attributed to General Black “Jack” Pershing with roots in the insurrection in the Moros province of the Philippines against American control in the 1909-1913 timeframe. While there is no empirical evidence Muslim insurrectionists were shot with bullets dipped in the fat of pigs, then buried face down covered in pig entrails as once claimed by former senator Bob Graham (D-FL), it is a story many historians refuse to say has no basis in truth.
