The second amendment

Robert Spencer gives here his take on the second amendment and Islamic law. He notes that a key characteristic of dhimmitude (non-Muslims with only subordinate status) under Islamic law is that they are forbidden to carry arms. The existence of this right, he argues, helps ensure that U.S. citizens will be able to protect their other rights from an encroaching state or religion.

Happy Fourth of July!
