San Diego Radio Station KFMB Asks Listeners If Muslims Should Register in National Database During War

San Diego radio station, KFMB, asks listeners if Muslims should be forced to register in a national database during a time of war.


San Diego radio station KFMB, which mainly features conservative hosts, may have outdone itself this time around. According to Liberaland, it had a survey on its website (which has since been removed),  polling listeners with the question, “During a time of war should we register as many Muslims as we can find in a national database?”
The options to answer were (a)No – it’s an invasion of privacy and (b)Yes – gun owners have to, why  not Muslims? So, not does the question feed into and help promote Islamophobia, it compares a religion to owning a gun. Oh, and for all the Constitution-loving conservatives, Congress hasn’t declared war, which is mandated in Article One, Section Eight, if you are going to call this “a time of war."
This is so wrong and disturbing but not surprising. The right wing will continue to engage in fear-mongering to win elections. News flash to KFMB, not every Muslim is a terrorist, as is the case that not every white person is a racist.
