The 'Crusader Rifle' was “designed to never be used by Muslim terrorists,” and is inscribed with Psalms 144:1: “Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.”

Made by Spike's Tactical in Apopka, Florida, the gun is also inscribed with a Knight's Templar Long Cross – a Christian crusader symbol.

The company's spokesman, former Navy SEAL Ben ‘Mookie’ Thomas, told the Orlando Sentinel that he came up with the idea and believes that no devout Muslim would touch the 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.

The firearm – which costs $1,395 – appears to be a popular choice. According to Spike Tactical's website, the 'Crusader Rifle' is taking up to two weeks to ship “due to overwhelming media response.”

The gun is also being proudly sold at Florida Gun Supply, a store that recently came under fire for declaring the premises a “Muslim free zone.”

“It's not because we want to have war. It's because our desire is the same desire as everybody else – we want peace. But unfortunately, if we want peace, we have to prepare for war,” Florida Gun Supply owner Andy Hallinan told RT's Ruptly agency.

“We are frustrated with evil Islam, and radical Islam in this country. And businesses like myself and Spike's Tactical are standing up and trying to make a difference,” he added.
