In an effort to fight radical Muslims, an American ammunition company created 'Jihawg Ammo.' The bizarre ammo is coated with pig-based products in order to deter Muslim terrorists. By adding pork to bullets, the creators of Jihawg Ammo hoped to scare Muslims who are forbidden from consuming pork. According the company website, the ammo "will prevent their attaining entrance into heaven."
Though the creators of Jihawg Ammo were correct in stating that Muslims are forbidden from eating pork, the Quran doesn't forbid anyone from coming into contact with it. This means that coating the bullets in pork has no religious implications. As a result, the only deterrent that the bullets have is their ability to puncture your body and kill you.
