A new assault rifle called the "Crusader" went on sale this week, bearing a Bible verse on the magazine to deter Islamic terrorists from using it, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations of Florida was swift to complain, reports Fox News.
Manufactured by Spike’s Tactical in central Florida, the $1,395 AR-15 has a Bible verse etched into it that says “Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.” Etched on the other is a symbol of a Crusader's cross from the Middle Ages. The weapon's safety selector has three settings: Peace, War and God Wills It.
Company spokesman Ben Thomas, a former Navy SEAL, said the scripture is like an insurance policy to keep it out of the hands of terrorists:
“When you make a rifle, you have to understand that it could be used for ill deeds if it got in the wrong hands."
Thomas told the local paper that the gun isn't racist and was not intended to insult or antagonize Muslims. He said that the owners believe America and much of the world is threatened by Islamic terrorism and that the weapon is a symbol of shared Christian values and the right to defend themselves. He said that he personally would like to take a weapon with scripture on it into battle.
Naturally, CAIR felt compelled to weigh in, presumably because they felt Islamic terrorists might be offended:
“Sadly, this manufacturer’s fancy new gun won’t do anything to stop the real threat in America: the escalating problem of gun violence,” a spokesperson said. “This is just another shameful marketing ploy intended to profit from the promotion of hatred, division, and violence.”
The spokesperson had nothing to say about the escalating problem of Islamic terrorism, or about the terrorists themselves promoting hatred, division, and violence.
This can only help to boost sales of this rifle.
Go Spikes!
Now why would CAIR get mad about assault rifles that can’t be used by terrorists if they’re the Council On American Islamic Relations and ot a terrorist organization?.../s
If you think John 3:16 is offensive this one would really piss them off
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Because they know that the WhiteHut will back their cause.
These rifles will be confiscated and banned.
They have also helped launder terrorist $$$ in the past
Yeah, either one would give a “good” Muslim heartburn
cair needs to be outlawed as a terrorist group.
all other gunmakers should have at least one model similar to this.
It’s not on the magazine, it’s on the receiver.
When will we force the traitors in wash DC to arrest or expel enemy agents like these, IMHO ???
CAIR is a terrorist front organization.
I’m going to get one.
Also Pierce Brosnan’s in “Seraphim Falls.”
If I remember right a Company back early on in the Iraq war, made some for the Military, and they recalled them. Sure some Vet has one hid out somewhere.
Maybe they should then call it the “Muslim moderator”.
Why denounce Cruisaders? They are heroes to Americans. You should denounce your jugular veins.
I like that one as well.Maybe get a few of these rifles.
Awesome.
Powerful! Great idea!
