Peace Through Pork, or, There's a Pig in the Paint!

[Turtle]

This sounds made up, reads like something you might find on "The Onion," or SNL, but it's not. Ya just can't make it up. It's real.

A lot of Muslims, and certainly most Jihadists won't think this is funny, but I think it's hilarious. It's true, everything is better wrapped in bacon!


What kind of ammo do you need to repel a bona fide Jihad? Why, Jihawg Ammo, of course! The only ammunition that provides a peaceful and natural deterrent to radical Islam, Jihawg Ammo is ammunition coated with ballistic paint that has been infused with pork. They've got boxes of .40, .45, .223, .308 and 9mm rounds for all your Jihawging pleasure.

Jihawg Ammo is Approved by Uncle Ham!

Since every Jihadist's worse nightmare is to be defiled with pork, Jihawg Ammo will make them think twice before committin' any terrorist acts around these parts!

It's time to put a little HAM in MoHAMed!
​

Still angry about the idea of an Islamic cultural center opening near Ground Zero, a group of Idaho gun enthusiasts decided to fight back with a new line of pork-laced bullets. South Fork Industries, based in Dalton Gardens, Idaho, claims its ammunition, called Jihawg Ammo, is a “defensive deterrent to those who violently act in the name of Islam.”

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.”

Company officials declined requests to comment.

However, Shannon Dunn, assistant professor of religious studies at Gonzaga University, said South Fork’s concept is based on an inaccurate understanding of the Quran. {Ya think? LOL}

“There is no penalty for coming into contact with pork given by the Quran,” she said, pointing to verses that prohibit the consumption of pork and carrion that are reminiscent of Jewish dietary laws outlined in Leviticus.

“To my knowledge, Muslims, especially unknowingly, would not be banned from heaven for eating or getting hit by pork,” she said. “There are some interpreters who suggest that Muslims should eat pork rather than starve, if faced with that alternative.”

Nevertheless, the ammo has plenty of supporters, with more than 4,300 people liking it on Facebook. One fan, Ted of California, said he planned to buy 500 rounds. Another, Jeffrey, said he hoped someone would smuggle the bullets into U.S. military troops.

Well, it may not work but what can it hurt.

 

[layoutshooter]

Funny, a member in here suggested something very similar several years ago and it was not funny then. Then the member was called insensitive and was told just how much more trouble this would cause. Times change I guess.

Humor is in the timing and the telling.

Or who is doing the telling. I just wonder why it is not insensitive now? How strange is that?

 

[Turtle]

Well, gee, I don't know that it's strange at all. It depends on who suggested it before and how they made the suggestion. Did they make the suggestion in a humorous or in a mean-spirited way? Do they generally display a sense of humor in most things, or are they normally serious about things? I don't recall the earlier suggestion. If I had, and it was humorous, I certainly wouldn't have repeated it here.

 

[layoutshooter]

I don't remember the context. I just find it funny. It was a few years back.

If I am not mistaken General John J Pershing in the Philippines that once ordered all ammo to be dipped in pig blood. Terror attacks came to a screeching halt this was many years ago

A popular urban legend that's been circulating in e-mails, Web forums and Blogs since 2001, but it's just that, fabricated urban legend in the wake of 9/11. It comes from what happened before Pershing was the military governor of the Moro Province. The first governor was Leonard Wood (1903-1906), then Tasker Bliss (1906-1909), and finally John Pershing (1909-1913). General Bliss' tenure was regarded as the "peace era" in the Philippines, but it was an uneasy peace that tolerated a lot of lawlessness, including suicidal attacks on US military personnel by the Moro (the Muslims in the southern Philippines). A few military personnel took it upon themselves, not at the orders or the suggestion of Bliss, to wrap the dead Moros in pug skin and stuff their mouths with pork, then bury them with pig entrails and suck. They hoped this would have the effect of deterring the suicide attacks, but it didn't. Mainly, it made the Moros mad and even more determined. Those incidents happened mostly between 1907-1908 and happened infrequently after that. Pershing put at end to it once and for all, according to the diary of Rear Admiral D.P. Mannix III, who served as a lieutenant under both Bliss and Pershing.
