Well here’s something you don’t see everyday:
NEW YORK POST – An Idaho ammo company is selling pork-coated bullets for use on Islamic terrorists, a bid to strike fear of being sent to hell into the hearts of jihadists.
Idaho County-based Jihawg Ammo says the process makes the ammo “Haraam” meaning that a strictly observant Muslim would have committed sin if they touched them.
“We at Jihawg Ammo hope you will stock up on Jihawg as a natural deterrent to the ever growing threat of radical Islam and Sharia Law,” the company says on its website.
A leading Muslim civil liberties organization was quick to dismiss the product as a stunt pulled by “publicity-seeking idiots.”

In addition to ammunition, the company also sells apparel with slogans like “Put Some HAM in MoHAMed!” and “Do 72 Virgins a Favor.”
Jihawg Ammo says it was founded in response to outrage towards the mosque being built near Ground Zero.
There is little evidence in Islamic texts to support the idea that strict Muslims would go to hell for touching pork.
The Quaran 2:173 says “…whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him…” which has been interpreted by some scholars to mean that Muslims can eat pork if they either do not know it is pork or if it is a necessity for seeing of starvation.
Consider this an open thread.
