“Within islam” is doing a lot if work here that should be elaborated upon.
So you don’t need them to be hallal if you just don’t get hit.
All the more motivation!!
I know nothing about paintball, but I feel like there has to be vegan paintballs.
Blend kale and almond milk.
Someone needs to explain to me why there’s ANY animal product in a paintball in the first place.
Paintballs are made of gelatin. Gelatin is often just collagen and collagen is basically connective tissue.
I only did paintball once, and that place didn’t use gelatin balls, I think they were made of a thin bioplastic film (corn stuff) filled with ink
Fun fact! This is why E Ink displays use pig products!

It was just medieval food safety to not eat pork in hot countries. They really need to update their software.
The origin of Abrahamic dietary laws is not certain. There is no obvious benefit in terms of hygiene, also not in ancient times (they long predate “medieval” times). Keep in mind that poultry carries a significant risk of salmonella poisoning.
It has been suggested that the origin might have simply been that pigs are viewed as unclean due to their own diet including carrion. Another speculated reason is that rulers might have wanted to promote poultry due to it being a more economical way of raising livestock.
i have a specific unusual food allergy. I always presumed abraham or ishmael or jacob or moses or one of them mythical folk had a food allergy against pigs and said “you know what, if i started a religion about not eating pigs maybe i wouldn’t get the runs every time i went out to eat”
Maybe they just thought pigs are too cute to eat.
Pigs of all animals?
I thought it was due to the parasites, worms?, that pork gets in hot arid countries which is why both the Jews and Muslims don’t eat it
It reminds me of Northern Europeans stereotyping Southern Europeans as lazy. But Northern European don’t realise it is mainly because Southern Europe is very hot to work for longer hours. The Southern European “siesta” of course carried over to Spanish and Portuguese colonies. Before Cuba gained independence from Spain, they only work three hours a day, and this happened only about one hundred years ago.
No, that’s just an ad-hoc rationalization. Before refrigeration, people didn’t just leave fresh meat lying around. Either it was consumed immediately after cooking it, or it was smoked, cured or dried right away after butchering (people used much more salt than they do nowadays for e.g. modern hams to make sure the meat lasted a long time). The climate doesn’t really matter - in temperate climates fresh meat goes bad rapidly as well.
Could also just be an exaggerated case of “ew, poor people food”, since pigs will eat damn near anything.
I guess chickens are similarly omnivorous and take up less space though (plus, eggs). And are arguably easier to transport and defend (a rooster can fuck you up)
Yeah. Religion is well-known for its acceptance of logic 😆
It’s religion, not science. Unfortunately, logic isn’t a requirement.
And halal paint balls still hurt when getting shot.
Shouldn’t hurt too much, they do no haram
I’ll allow it.
🪙
Do they hurt like halal?
I see what you did there. Yes, they hurt halal.
Are they also required to be… green?
Green is the color of Islam because it is the religion of peas.
