A gun maker from Florida has created a rifle specifically for Christians.
Spike Tactical has manufactured an anti-Muslim terrorist, semi-automatic rifle designed by its spokesman, Ben "Mookie" Thomas, reports Business Insider.
In the video seen below, Mookie explains that he wanted to make a gun, which Muslim terrorists could not use to harm innocent people.
"We wanted to make sure we built a weapon that would never be able to be used by Muslim terrorists to kill innocent people or advance their radical agenda," explains Thomas further.
The gun company has named the Christian rifle "Cruzado" or 'The Crusader,' claiming that it is "Muslim-proof" due to the various Christian references found on the weapon.
According to HNGN, there are several markers on the rifle that invoke God. The famous long cross of the Knights Templars is transcribed onto the rifle and the safety selector switch has three modes named: "Peace," "War," and "God Wills It."
Firecapt comments on PJ Media, explaining the three modes stating that "Peace" stands for safe, while "War" stand for semi-automatic. Meanwhile, "God Wills It" is the fully-automatic mode of the rifle.
One major design on the gun, which invokes the words of the Bible, can be seen above the magazine slot. A Bible verse from Psalms 144:1 is inscribed, which reads: "Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for wars, my fingers for battle."
Gun enthusiasts have clamored to get their hands on The Crusader. At $1,400, the anti-terrorist gun was sold out within the first 72 hours of its release. In addition, the gun will remain backlogged for a couple weeks, reports the Middle East Eye.
Unsurprisingly, the Council on American-Islamic Relations or CAIR does not approve of The Crusader, stating that it only increases violence, division, and hatred between Christians and Muslims.
Hasan Shibly, the executive director of CAIR, also pointed out that only one mass shooting in 2015 was caused by a Muslim. According to Mass Shooting Tracker, there have been 250 mass shootings in America since the beginning of 2015.
In addition, CAIR believes that the Christian markings on the gun is a "shameful marketing ploy" by Spike Tactical to make large profit. Seeing that The Crusader is not only sold out but backlogged, the marketing ploy seems to be working.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the spectrum, YouTuber Kristi Winters, believes that the gun does not stand for any true Christian values.
