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.
The company is selling shirts and other paraphernalia on their website with such taglines as 'Do 72 Virgins a Favor' and 'Put Some Ham in MoHAMed'.

Worked for the Brits in Arabia and Pershing in the Philippines.
History is not “your” friend.
Bacon grease for lubing my guns...makes every round a jihad round. :)
In this case I had previously checked other sources which all said basically the same thing.
This Pershing thing reoccurs every few years on FR.
bummer, I perfer my opinion and now I have to go check it out myself...LOL could it have been McCarther, or maybe Patton, nope not Patton he’d have shot them all and blamed it on the enemy...
It’s only a deterrent if they know you’re using them. And they are not goin’ to heaven anyway.
Hollow points, fill with pig fat, seal with a drop of wax.
Perhaps not. Islamist militants are a little scarce around here. There is a gun registry, though - it's called the phone book. Lock and load, baby.
