Episode 38: Mission–Impossible? A case for American Muslims to be armed!

WHAAAAAT!!??  ARM THE MUSLIMS??

But they’re MUSLIMS!!  Come on, that’s Terrorist Central, ain’t it?  We’re patriotic Americans!  It was bad enough with the Blacks; we don’t want THEM armed, too, do we?

I am taking on what may be an impossible mission for some folks.  We are going to discuss why it’s not just worth respecting, but also right and proper that American Muslims–or anyone else who supposedly “looks similar” (like Indian Hindus and Sikhs) should fully exercise their Second Amendment rights.  After this year’s anniversary of September 11th, I’ve had just over a month to think about this, and I really wanted to take the time to consider it before addressing the subject.  Let’s face it; this idea’s going to scare the daylights out of some of our countrymen.

My fellow Liberals, if we really do believe in the egalitarian ideals that we claim to believe in, then this is something we should support.

The idea for this podcast came from something that a listener sent to me.  You know who you are.  Thank you.
