Pork-Coated Ammo Designed to Nullify Martyrdom

An Idaho company has developed a new brand of ammunition it hopes will deter Islamist terrorists from undertaking violent actions they believe will end in their martyrdom.

South Fork Industries claims that its Jihawg Ammo, which is coated with pork-infused paint, will keep those who are acting violently in the name of Islam from paradise by sending them straight to hell.

The company insists that the ammunition be used solely for defense.

The Huffington Post reports:

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.

The company’s website bills the bullets as "Peace Through Pork" and a "peaceful and natural deterrent to radical Islam." There’s a related line of apparel that feature slogans like "Put Some Ham in MoHAMed" and a target poster that says "Give Em a Spankin with some Bacon."

"The nullifying principle of our product is only effective if you are attacked by an Islamist in Jihad," the company’s website says. "Otherwise, our ammo functions just like any other ammunition, so we obviously insist upon defensive use of our ammo only-not offensive."
