I've got quite the episode for you today. Sorry it took so long to release. After I finished recording it a couple of weeks ago, I had a cold.. *again* - and needed to record some postscript comments to insert, so I waited around to sound a bit better. Anyhoo, hope you enjoy my conversation with founder of the Republican Muslim coalition. To her credit, it's a rare thing that a conservative Muslim woman is open to conversation with people she knows have completely opposing values. You may also know Saba as the woman who went on Fox News with a US flag hijab. I appreciate that she puts herself out there as a different voice from the Muslim community. Even as someone who's not a fan of Hijab, I love the idea of a flag hijab on Fox, it pissed off hardcore bigots on both ends of the spectrum, muslim and anti muslim i'm sure! Here's the link to the video i mention in the beginning: https://www.facebook.com/tothecontrary/videos/10154206749382386/ That said, we disagree on almost everything, but its great to be able to have a Polite Conversation ;) small correction: Towards the end I say: "i've been an atheist half my life", i meant to say 'disbeliever in religion' - i stopped believing in religion long ago, but still believed in some abstract higher power.
