Trump inspires killers with fake discounted pigs blood on bullets story



The horrific shooting story, which historians say did not happen, is among several cases of Trump’s anti-Muslim statements. His comments regarding Islam and Muslims are coming under increasing scrutiny in the wake of the New Zealand attack on two mosques that killed 50 people. The suspected gunman released a manifesto citing American white supremacy as an inspiration. He named Trump specifically “as a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose.”

An Idaho ammo company is selling pork-coated bullets (2103) for use on Islamic terrorists, a bid to strike fear of being sent to hell into the hearts of jihadists.

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.

A leading Muslim civil liberties organization was quick to dismiss the product as a stunt pulled by “publicity-seeking idiots.”

“It’s the same old bizarre nonsense,” said Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. “These people are trying to take advantage of Islamophobia to sell products and make a quick buck.”
------------------------------

There is little evidence in Islamic texts to support the idea that strict Muslims would go to hell for touching pork.

The Quran 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.

------------------

Article also talks of British ammo using pig/cow fat which was against beliefs of Indian Muslims/Hindus.

embodied the highest standards of the U S Army. His contributions in the First World War led to an earlier victory than anyone thought possible. He would never have engaged in such gutter-level degradation.

He served this nation with honor and integrity.

trump should be prohibited from ever speaking about men of such integrity.
