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 whos shot with one of the bullets from entering paradise.
With Jihawg Ammo, you dont 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.

(37,161 posts)...because if knew the right places to spread rumors, I'd put out the word that the real source of these bullets is the big buy-up by Homeland Security, who are using the NSA to monitor purchases, so they know who to target when sharia law is imposed.
Might as well host these guys by their own tinfoil petard. Feed all of their paranoia and make them choke on it.

I'm guessing muslims are about .01 % of the population in Idaho.

Shooting someone with a pork laced bullet has no ecclesiastical/religious affect on a Muslim at all.

(16,296 posts)Probably some semi-literate goon read about the 1857 India rebellion where it was rumored that the British were supplying their native troops with pork greased paper bullet casings.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_the_Indian_Rebellion_of_1857?
In short, the troops had to rip the greased paper covering off - best way by biting and ripping it - and pour the enclosed powder and bullet into the gun. The Hindus and Muslim faithful native troops did not take too kindly to the notion. Caused a hellish ruckus.

We hope that this encouraging statement, coupled with a change in previous policies toward the Muslim world, will help improve our nation's image in promote a safe and prosperous future for all humanity.
Idaho's diverse Muslim community stands ready alongside American Muslims and our institutions, to work with President Obama's administration on any positive domestic or international initiatives.
