Manassas, VA –-(Ammoland.com)- You’ve probably already heard about the bizarre, Islamist slaughter of an off-duty British soldier in broad daylight on a busy street in London in May 2013.
The two assailants struck the victim with a car then jumped out and began hacking and slashing him with knives and a meat cleaver. The murderers then strutted around the victim’s body for 15 to 20 minutes until armed police arrived, upon which the self-proclaimed jihadists launched an assault on the police and were shot.
The attack occurred in the middle of the day on a busy city street, and though there were numerous witnesses to the atrocity – including at least one uniformed London police officer – no one made any effort to stop the assault in progress.
Most strange is the way that the attackers waited around after the slaughter, strutting and bragging, but not particularly threatening or attempting to harm any of the onlookers, until armed police units finally arrived, at which point the murderers commenced what could only be characterized as a suicide attack – having brought knives to a gunfight.
Many have asked why the attackers just waited around for the armed police. Why didn’t they flee or continues attacking others, as one might expect from a couple of crazed murderers? What were they waiting for?
The answer to that question is very significant. These men were waiting for their tickets to Paradise – and 72 virgins. They engaged in their act of jihad, killing an “infidel aggressor, enemy of Islam,” and then waited around for the armed police to show up so they could die in battle for Allah’s glory, martyrs, and therefore elected for special rewards in Paradise. The plan was short-circuited to a degree by the London cops’ failure to actually kill the men. Both were seriously wounded and taken to a nearby hospital where they were treated for their injuries.
Whether martyrs for Allah actually receive a reward of 72 virgins in Paradise, is open for debate among Muslims, but what is not debatable is the fact that there are Islamist preachers who use this promise to encourage young men to engage in jihad. And apparently, at least some young men are convinced.
So how do you deal with religious extremists who believe that dying for their faith is an Express Ticket to Paradise?
Killing them seems to just give them what they think they want. Only wounding them, as in this recent case, leaves the messy business of a public trial, and in a “civilized” country like England, where they have abolished the death penalty, it means that these young men will probably live out their lives as wards of the government, living martyrs for their cause, and teachers for future generations of young Muslim hooligans who will sit at their feet in taxpayer-funded, prison “Islamic study centers.”
A company in northern Idaho has come up with a culturally sensitive solution. Jihawg Ammo has developed a proprietary system for infusing ballistic paint with pork. The special pork-infused paint is then applied to the bullets of loaded ammunition. The inclusion of pork in the paint makes the bullets haraam, or unclean. Under Islamic law, anyone who comes in contact with any haraam item is then unclean, and must engage in a cleansing ritual. No unclean person can be admitted into Paradise. Do not pass Go. Do not collect 72 virgins.
The objective of Jihawg Ammo is not to insult Muslims, nor even to send a terrorist to Hell. The objective is to serve as a deterrent – to place the promise of instant passage to Paradise into doubt in the minds of would-be jihadists. Without the promise of Paradise, how many Muslim literalists would be willing to lay their lives – and eternal souls – on the line in order to engage in acts of terrorism?
Jihawg Ammo’s company slogan is “Peace through Pork.” They sell their specially treated ammunition for defensive purposes only. While some will choose to be offended by the entire concept of Jihawg Ammo’s haraam ammunition, the makers of Jihawg counter that threatening a murderer with eternal damnation is not a new concept.
They reiterate that their ammunition is intended as a deterrent to would-be terrorists, not a threat or insult to peaceful Muslims.
Readers of this column are in the unique position of being among the first to learn of this new, pork-painted ammunition, and as such, have the opportunity to be thought-leaders on the social merits of the product. As a broader audience begins to learn about Jihawg Ammo, there will undoubtedly be much debate of the “cultural insensitivity” of the product and its makers. In anticipation of that debate, the folks at Jihawg ask how culturally insensitive it is to slaughter innocents in the name of one’s religion?
Jihawg is giving away ammo on their FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/BuyJihawg
Jihawg Ammo’s full line of terrorist-deterrent ammunition, and their accompanying line of apparel and accessories, featuring slogans like “Pigs Do Fly,” and “Do 72 Virgins a Favor,” are available at, http://www.jihawg.com/, and should soon be available at select retailers around the country.

It appears Ammoland needs have their web host company fix their email notification system. The above comments that appeared to be directed at me were directed at others. The email notification made it look like they were in response to my post. The “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” does not say notify me of any post to this discussion thread. The web hosting company needs to fix the way their system loads pages, too. Comments do not have a consistent update. I can get a notification of a comment but that comment does not show up on the web page until a hour or two later. Refreshing the page that originally opened from the email link sometimes helps to brink up a more complete listing of comments. But, some comments still do not show up until much later.
It is amazing how many whimps or pussi… er, cats, will post comments against my concerns for the man who used to make JiHawg ammo that get sent to my email box but they then delete the comment so it does not stay posted online. He lives in a part of Idaho with a large Muslim refugee population. I hope he packs 24/7.

Pig grease u r ass….hater!
Could always do what one guy showed on Facebook and just put bacon bits in hollowpoints. Jihawg has been around for a few years and though one may consider their products as novelties, like those who make Zombie ammo, a market was seen for them. Just because a type of ammo is manufactured does not make anyone more violent than they were without it. The whiners and complainers should just zip it, for they won’t be purchasing this ammo and have any vested interest in the company. The military wouldn’t be allowed to use this kind of ammo due to different US and international laws on combatants and warfare. Those who want a conversation item or two should pick up some of their favorite ammo to hold onto. Bacon makes the world a better place.
This company had to shut down under threats of violence.
It is irresponsible of AmmoLand.com to rerun such an article and cause more risk to the owner of this business.
Mark, AmmoLand would not causing more risk of threats of violence. There is an intervening decision maker between AmmoLand and the potential recipient of the threat… and that is the potential threat maker. The maker of a threat or doer of violence makes their own decision. Similarly, that is why automakers are not liable for the intentional misdeeds of drivers and firearms manufacturers are not liable for the intentional misdeeds of shooters.
Sorry for the typos. My dog said that he had to go outside, right away.
I never said Ammoland should be held responsible. I said they were being irresponsible for reposting an old article about a company that is no longer in business. The owner is still alive but trying to not seek attention. This put him in the spotlight again. There is a big difference between what one can do and what one should do.
But, Ammoland is willing to do what it takes to pursue the almighty dollar even if it puts a man at risk of violence.
It’s like shouting FIRE in a crowded theater. Or, an ex-wife falsely saying her child’s father molested the child just so she can get full custody. The damage is done.
We need to try to not feed the crazies.
Correction we did not “repost” this article. It was published in June 14, 2013. We can not help that it is still popular. And YES we are unabashed capitalists, and any jihadi haters on this article can take it up with my friends, Smith & Wesson.
Yes, To be accurate, Ammoland did not repost this article. They just linked back to it. It is only popular today because Ammoland linked back to it.
There are unabashed capitalists and irresponsible capitalists. I have no problem with the former as long as they are not also the latter.
You could also claim it is legal to wave your S&W around in a crowded room as long as you did not point it at anybody or say anything threatening. But, it is not a responsible behavior that supports the 2nd Amendment cause.
You are showing your true colors.
When are you going to stop beating your wife and children ?
Oh, Was that insensitive ?
Ok yeah, its all our fault, excuse me I have to go kick my black lab.
Well Mark, have it your own way brother, but I think that the difference between our positions is the difference cause and legal cause.
“I think that the difference between our positions is the difference cause and legal cause.” That is as clear as mud. But this site does allow editing comments so even if you notice the errors, you can’t fix them unless you post a new comment. Did the dog need to go out again ? Better than letting the dog go in. Harder to clean up.
What else makes them unclean or ineligible for their heaven? Can we exploit that too?
The easy way is stuff your hollow point bullets with REAL bacon bits.
IF THESE MUSLIMS ARE DUMB ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THEY WILL GO TO HEAVEN FOR MURDER, THEY WILL PROBABLY BELIEVE THE “PORKY BULLET” WILL CANCEL THEIR TICKET I BELIEVE THE RUSSIANS BURIED THE CHEKNAS THAT TOOK OVER THAT OPERA HOUSE WRAPPED NIN PIGSKIN. NO MORE INCIDENTS!.
This ammunition is not new. I remember seeing seeing them advertised for a few years now.
Until the Clerics tell them they can do pre-cleansing ritual that negates the effect of the unclean item and they may pass on to Paradise.”It was in the fine print of the Koran,fear not martyrs go forth and fight the infidel and die.While I sit here,you are precleansed.””Religion opium of the masses,with it you can get people to believe anything.
I am loading my hollow points with bacon grease RIGHT NOW!
It’s not enough to actually make and use the “bacon-bullets”, the Jihadists need to know AHEAD OF TIME that you’re using them. It’s the FEAR of uncleanliness that should make them ponder further action. Buy a box of your favorite caliber along with a hat or tee shirt or something, and advertise the HELL out of them. Let ’em know what COULD BE heading out the barrel toward them!
