Halal Ammo. Israeli-made bullets bought by the U.S. Army to plug [no pun intended presumably] a shortfall should be used for training only, not to fight Muslim guerrillas in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. lawmakers told Army generals on Thursday.

Since the Army has other stockpiled ammunition, "by no means, under any circumstances should a round (from Israel) be utilized," said Rep. Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii, the top Democrat on a House of Representatives Armed Services subcommittee with jurisdiction over land forces. (REUTERS)

To show proper respect, we should have similar rites performed over all our bombs and ammo and clusterbombs as are performed on halal meats and foods.
