Idaho "gun enthusiasts" create line of pork laced bullets for use against Muslims

http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/on-faith/pork-laced-bullets-designed-to-send-muslims-straight-to-hell/2013/06/21/aff2247a-daaa-11e2-b418-9dfa095e125d_story.html

SPOKANE, Wash. — 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.

9. Maybe my level of twisted...

...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.

Those guys will be watched, and rightly so. They sound like murderous whackjobs.

If anyone knows the answer I would love to know.
I'm guessing muslims are about .01 % of the population in Idaho.

5. Not only stupid but ignorant. My understanding from talking to Muslims about what is 'haram'

indicates that they don't believe that someone forcing you to do something that is 'haram' affects your standing with god.

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

6. Already been done

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.

10. Idaho's Muslim Population Welcomes President Obama's Encouraging Statements to Muslim World

- in (2009) Inaugural Address:

http://impaconline.blogspot.com/2009/01/idahos-muslim-population-welcomes.html

Idaho's Muslim population congratulates President Obama and welcomes his encouraging statement to the Muslim world in his inaugural address. We commend President Obama for the overall positive tone of his address and thank him particularly for the statement "To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual respect."

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.
