“Today’s manual coffee grinders are made from empty (used) grenade shells, which were used for the purposes of shelling Sarajevo during the war - obviously a very evil and a long-lasting act from the well-known perpetrators of war. Using empty grenade shells to me (and I am sure the makers of coffee grinders)

converting evil into good by reusing evil resources to serve and promote long term positive purpose of tradition.” [link]

 

Comment from a friend of mine on the use of bullet shells: “Isn’t it weird how they make art out of bullets which were shooting and killing people… at least there is some use from them…”

My response to her: “My guide book said that some of these bullets might not be real, merely stunts. These items might be produced somewhere in Turkey. Anyway, I think nowadays anything can be done to satisfy the public curiosity. Most people do not have to go through war experiences, seeing bullets flying over the heads. So in peaceful time, they get them as souvenirs.”
