UPDATE May 6, 2013: You can listen to the show by clicking here. The show actually starts at about 11:15, but if you like Debra Harry and Blondie, that shouldn’t be a big problem. Then Mustafaa’s mic had some issues for a few minutes more. (I’m still learning how to run my own board while doing the show. I hope to get better.) ~ Mike

Today’s show will be on Islam and Islamophobia. My guest today is Mustafaa Carroll. He is the Texas Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR.
It should be extremely interesting and, I hope, enlightening.
I grew up in New York City, and moved to Houston, TX at the age of 26. It was an adjustment, I’ll tell you, and I guess I still don’t feel ‘All In’ after 35 years. On the other hand, I’ve visited home (Brooklyn, NY) several times over those 35 years and the buildings are mostly there, but the people have almost all changed. The familiar stores and eateries are mostly gone. The party room where I had my Bar Mitzvah in 1964 in the back of Grabstein’s Deli on Avenue M off of Rockaway Parkway is now a locked and sketchy-looking storage area for the sketchy-looking Chinese takeout place inhabiting this building which is still haunted by a different era.
