    Chechnya is a Muslim region. Putin sent them into Ukraine. Azov greased their bullets because they think that’ll curse Muslims to hell as if getting shot involuntarily is the same as ingesting pork voluntarily lol

    It’s cut off from the pic, but the video was posted by an official and verified Ukrainian military page

      Smearing pork products on Muslim stuff is a common Islamophobic attack. Gammons really think pork is some kind of Muslim kryptonite.

        Aren't Muslims permitted to commit certain "sins" if it saves the lives of others or yourselves?

        Like if you were dying and only had pork you could eat it?

          I think in both Judaism and Islam, the only thing you are not permitted to do to save someone's life is to deny/blaspheme against/reject God.

          But when we're talking about war, it really ends up being nothing more than an attempt at an offensive gesture.

            There’s a fairly old Talmudic rule of three things you can’t do even to save a life (including your own): murder (an innocent person), blaspheme, and commit sexually immoral acts.
