- Manufacturer Spike's Tactical is marketing the weapon, called the Crusader
- It has a psalm on one side and a Knights Templar Long Cross on the other
- Navy SEAL Ben 'Mookie' Thomas had the idea for the powerful weapon
- He believes the design will mean no devout Muslim will ever use it
- The divisive gun has already drawn criticism from Muslim groups
A gun manufacturer in Florida has designed an assault rifle featuring Christian symbols - in the hope it will never be used by 'Muslim terrorists'.
Spike's Tactical in Apokpa is selling the powerful weapon, called the Crusader, for $1,395. It has a Psalm on one side and the Knights Templar Long Cross – a symbol of the Christian Crusades to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslims - on the other.
The Bible verse, Psalm 144:1, reads: 'Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.'
Muslim groups have condemned the divisive gun, which they suggest will be bought by 'Christian terrorists'.
The safety selector on that controls the Crusader's trigger has three settings: Peace, War and God Wills It
The company's spokesman, former Navy SEAL Ben 'Mookie' Thomas, said he came up with the idea after listening to news reports of ISIS using US weapons they had taken from Iraqi soldiers.
He said the message and symbol inscribed on the firearm will stop devout Muslims picking it up.
'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 told the Orlando Sentinel.
But the move has drawn criticism from local Islamic groups who question the motive behind the design of the gun.
Hasan Shibly, executive director from Council on American-Islamic Relations of Florida told the Sentinel: 'Is it designed for Christian terrorists?
'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.'
He also claimed that out of 205 mass shootings in the US this year, only one was carried out by a Muslim.
The firm insists they did not mean to anger anyone, they simply wanted to produce a gun that encapsulated Christian values while the world is faced with the rise of ISIS.
They added that they would never produce a gun with a verse from the Koran on it.
Also Primary Arms (among others) has it:
From 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.

The terrorist front group, Council on American-Islamic Relations, is all upset about this.
