Anti-Muslim sentiment surfaces in attacks on Obama – Yahoo! News via kwout

This article says that a photo of Democratic Presidential Candidate Obama wearing African clothing and a turban indicates that we in this country are anti-Muslim. Couldn’t be, could it?

Was it Lutherans who crashed hijacked planes into buildings in this country a few years back? No.  Do Buddhists cut off the heads of people they consider infidels?  If so, I missed the video. Did the Catholic Pope issue a death sentence upon an author of a book he disagreed with? Not in the last thousand years. After millions of Jews were murdered by Nazis in the 1930’s and 1940’s, did anyone hear of a Jew going into a BMW or Mercedes dealership and blow himself up? No.

It is Muslims who commit these atrocities. Are most Muslims into this? No, but I don’t hear an outcry condemning these acts from that community when extremists commit crimes in the name of their religion.

So are Americans anti-Muslim? Wonder why?

Ruger LCP

Michael Bane has a short video on Ruger’s new LCP pocket pistol. Not too much in the video, but worth watching if you like tiny, concealable weapons. I sure do 🙂 In fact, I’m coming to the belief that this class of weapon is more important than standard service pistols. Because of my size and the nature of women’s clothing I can’t conceal a Glock 23, full or commander size 1911, or S&W 686 real well unless I wear a sweatshirt. This is OK on the weekends during the winter, but hardly consistent with the “carry always” philosophy. BTW Gary has no trouble concealing full size handguns. Open carry is fine when hiking out in the boonies but not my thing for daily life.

More on the LCP: Much of it (well, the metal parts anyway) is made at the Ruger plant in Prescott, AZ. We are friends with one of the design engineers who worked on the LCP – he’s a bright boy and a dedicated shooter.  I’ve not had a chance to try one of these yet. Gary, I, and good friend G.H. (who has the same concealment issues I do) have each preordered a LCP. I’ll write more after I’ve shot it.
