Orlando Sentinel – by Henry Pierson Curtis
A gun business in Apopka is drawing fire from Muslims.
Spike’s Tactical is marketing an assault rifle it claims was “designed to never be used by Muslim terrorists.” The AR-15 assault rifle is laser-etched on one side with a Knights Templar Long Cross – a symbol of the Christian Crusades to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslims – and Psalm 144:1 on the other side: “Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.”
The company’s spokesman, former Navy SEAL Ben “Mookie” Thomas said he came up with the idea and believes no devout Muslim would touch such a weapon.
“Off the cuff I said I’d like to have a gun that if a Muslim terrorist picked it up a bolt of lightning would hit and knock him dead,” Thomas said.
Dubbed the “Crusader,” the weapon went on sale Wednesday and received immediate condemnation from the Council on American-Islamic Relations of Florida.
“Is it designed for Christian terrorists?” asked Hasan Shibly, executive director of CAIR-FL, who said out of 205 mass killings so far this year in the U.S. only one involved a Muslim. “We need to have a conversation on gun violence. There has been utter silence from gun manufacturers. It’s time for them to stop trying to make a buck on this.”
This summer, Florida Gun Supply in Inverness north of Tampa drew nationwide publicity after owner Andy Hallinan declared it a “Muslim-free zone” following the July 16 killings of five military recruiters in Chattanogga, Tenn. The killer was identified as Muhammad Youseef Abdulazeez.
Shibly said he would welcome an opportunity to speak with Thomas as CAIR-FL opposes all forms of religious extremism.
“They don’t have to do outlandish things for us to engage them,” Shibly said.
The owners of Spike Tactical did not intend to insult or antagonize Muslims, Thomas said. They believe America and much of the world is threatened by Islamic terrorism and the Crusader is a symbol of shared Christian values and the right to defend themselves, he said. The safety selector that controls the Crusader’s trigger has three settings: Peace, War and God Wills It. The weapon is the latest of more than dozen models sold at gun shops, ranging in cost from $960 to about $3,000.
The company would never produce an AR-15 assault rifle with verses from the Koran for Muslim marksmen, Thomas said. But it makes other special models including an AR-15 for women called “Pure Estrogen.”
“Our goal is not to offend or alienate good people,” said Thomas, referring to the reaction by CAIR-FL. “The difficult issues people have with each other need to be brought to the table. Often these are hurtful and painful but it’s important to be honest.”
Spike’s Tactical was founded in 2001 by Mike and Angela Register as a family-owned business. Originally a hobby, it now has more than 40 employees making enough components for enthusiasts to build about 10,000 custom rifles a year.
“Men like to accessorize their guns more than women like to accessorize their outfits,” said CEO Angela Register.
now he needs to come up with ammo soaked in pig fat, and advertise it all over the world.
Why not just lubricate the thing with pork grease?
good idea JR
IMHO, using the Illuminati-creating Knights Templar shield and accompanying this with praises of God is taking the Lord’s name in vain!
WHAt about one for the jews you blind numbskulls?
There won’t be one for the Jews because people like Ben “Mookie” Thomas are useful idiots for the Jews. Gullible retards like him are obsessed with the Muslim “threat,” yet they fail to see that the Zionist Jews have ALREADY mostly taken over the US government.
So, he was a former SEAL? I say he’s still a seal. He’s a trained seal, still doing tricks for his Zionist masters. I wonder if it will ever dawn on people like him that ALL their efforts in the Middle East, and ALL the casualties their fellow military pawns suffered, were solely for the benefit of people who hold them in contempt.
Getting back to Muslims, I’m not going to defend their religion because I don’t give a crap about it. But as a group, Muslims in the US are much less of a threat to ordinary Americans than standard, garden-variety Negroes. Which group kills more people on US soil each year, even taking population sizes into account?
I won’t condemn all blacks or all Muslims. Many are perfectly decent people. But multiculturalism, especially when forced on a society, is a recipe for disaster. And guess which ethnic group has been leading the push for “diversity” in Western countries for decades?
Please make sure to put the star of david, the quintessential symbol of evil, on these rifles.
I’d buy one if it had a Star of David with a slash through it. A nice bonus would be a quote from Jesus about the “brood of vipers,” or about the physical descendants of Abraham to whom Jesus said, “you are of your father, the Devil….”
But these lemmings would never have the balls to do that, even if they had the brains to figure out why Jewish supremacism is a threat that’s orders of magnitude greater than Islam. Besides, it’s much easier and safer to gain notoriety as a “politically incorrect tough guy” in the post-9/11 political climate by targeting Muslims.
synagogue of satan
Take a sharpie. Start writing GOD on each of your rifle shell casings.
Then you won’t have to aim. You’ll just look at the target..and fire and hit the target. Because you’ll be firing bullets from GOD!
You stupid people, the people in the middle east are fighting because the US of A invaded based on lies. The US of A destoryed four countries and the people of the US of A wonder why they hate us.
