A company in Dalton Gardens, Idaho has developed a new line of
pork-laced bullets they hope will be used to fight back against Islamic
terrorists.
South Fork Industries created the bullets, which they
call Jihawg Ammo, so they can be used as a 'defensive deterrent to
those who violently act in the name of Islam.'
They took
traditional ammo and coated the bullets in a pork-infused paint. Those
shot with the bullets would be unclean, as the Islamic religious forbids
Muslims from coming into contact with pig meat.
The manufacturers believe that this act will keep any Muslims shot with the bullets from going to heaven.
'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.
But experts on the religion disagree with the theory that the bullets would keep Muslims from attaining salvation.
'There
is no penalty for coming into contact with pork given by the Quran,'
said Shannon Dunn, assistant professor of religious studies at Gonzaga
University in an interview with Religion News Service.
'To my
knowledge, Muslims, especially unknowingly, would not be banned from
heaven for eating or getting hit by pork. There are some interpreters
who suggest that Muslims should eat pork than starve, if faced with that
alternative.'
Effective or not, the company is getting a surprising amount of support on Facebook with more than 5,500 likes.
And they're looking to make money outside of bullet sales.
