A new assault rifle called the "Crusader" went on sale this week, bearing a Bible verse on the magazine to deter Islamic terrorists from using it, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations of Florida was swift to complain, reports Fox News.
Manufactured by Spike’s Tactical in central Florida, the $1,395 AR-15 has a Bible verse etched into it that says “Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.” Etched on the other is a symbol of a Crusader's cross from the Middle Ages. The weapon's safety selector has three settings: Peace, War and God Wills It.
Company spokesman Ben Thomas, a former Navy SEAL, said the scripture is like an insurance policy to keep it out of the hands of terrorists:
“When you make a rifle, you have to understand that it could be used for ill deeds if it got in the wrong hands."
Thomas told the local paper that the gun isn't racist and was not intended to insult or antagonize Muslims. He said that the owners believe America and much of the world is threatened by Islamic terrorism and that the weapon is a symbol of shared Christian values and the right to defend themselves. He said that he personally would like to take a weapon with scripture on it into battle.
Naturally, CAIR felt compelled to weigh in, presumably because they felt Islamic terrorists might be offended:
“Sadly, this manufacturer’s fancy new gun won’t do anything to stop the real threat in America: the escalating problem of gun violence,” a spokesperson said. “This is just another shameful marketing ploy intended to profit from the promotion of hatred, division, and violence.”
The spokesperson had nothing to say about the escalating problem of Islamic terrorism, or about the terrorists themselves promoting hatred, division, and violence.
When you invent a religion, you have to realize in the wrong hands it can be used for evil...
Imagine that...
I denounce CAIR.
That should be front page news.
“the real threat in America: “ is BS...and CAIR cant be beat when it comes to B.S.
COUNCIL SCHMOUNCIL....
That’s typical hypocrite stance that he mentions the problem being gun violence and they back blacklivesmatter with their violence against the police
When I first hear about this, I thought it was a dumb idea. Now that I have seen pictures, I think I totally love it.
IF Muzzies hate it then I Love It!!
CAIR’s response?
Pure taqiyya.
I’d love to buy one of these. But DiFi won’t allow me to.
The weapon’s safety selector has three settings: Peace, War and God Wills It.
Hahahahah, had a good laugh over that.
Where do these CAIR Nazi terrorists live? It’s time to ostracize these pigs and refuse to sell them food, clothing, gas and liquor.
Dear Santa, please get me a Crusader for Christmas.
That cair fears it makes me all warm and tingly inside ;’)
Allah fubar!
I like the idea but I would have gone with John 3:16 which is more offensive to Muslims as they reject the divinity of Christ. I would have also included the Arabic translation on the other side. Just to remove any doubt.
Crusade Rifle to CAIR: “In the famous words of Tommy Lee Jones in “The Fugitive” - “I DON’T CARE (ABOUT CAIR).”
Can anyone here tell me about the quality of this tool and of the manufacturer?
Could one buy this as easily as any other gun?
Is it worth the price as a gift?
CAIR doesn’t like the Crusader semi-automatic rifle?
Tough Shiite!
They make good rifles. I was eyeballing their 300 BLK with the incorporated suppressor but went instead with a AAC.
