An Idaho company has developed a new type of bullet that’s intended to take out Islamic terrorists and prevent their entrance to heaven — pork-laced.

South Fork Industries calls them Jihawg Ammo, and the bullets are to be used as a “defensive deterrent to those who violently act in the name of Islam,” the Daily Mail reported.

The bullets are simply covered in paint that’s been infused with pork, the Daily Mail reported. The makers believe that Muslim terrorists who are shot and killed with one will be denied entrance to heaven, because of the presence of the religion’s forbidden pork.

“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 at attack,” the company said in a press release. “If it ever becomes necessary to defend yourself and those around you, our ammo works on two levels.”

Critics of the bullets say the premise is false — that being shot with pork-laced bullets wouldn’t prevent Islamists from entering heaven. But the message is resonating with the public. The company received more than 5,500 likes on its Facebook announcement.

They’ve branched off into T-shirts and other products withother messages like, “Do 72 Virgins a Favor,” and “Put Some Ham in MoHAMed,” the Daily Mail reported.
