Imams incident will prompt widespread lawsuits
The Washington Times ^ | Dec. 13 | Audrey Hudson

Posted on 12/13/2006 12:30:33 AM PST by Golden Press

American Muslims making a religious pilgrimage to Mecca are being encouraged to file civil rights complaints if they feel discriminated against by airlines. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), citing what it called the "airport profiling" of six imams removed from a recent flight, yesterday said Muslims traveling this month to the holy site in Saudi Arabia need to be aware of their rights. "Given the increase in the number of complaints CAIR has received alleging airport profiling of American Muslims, we believe it is important that all those taking part in this year's hajj be aware of their legal and civil rights," said Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR spokesman

Perhaps if part of their "religious duties" did not demand the violent overthrow of the American Government and the slaughter of its people they would not have to feel so discriminated against.

I am discriminated against now every time I go to the airport because of their Muslim religious activities. Before Jihad, the thought of blowing up a plane full of passengers was abhorrent to any human being.

Good, let them make fools of themselves. The public wants to feel safe and we will not mind all the inconvenience so much when we see these Islamists being treated to the same scrutiny.

"But M. Zuhdi Jasser, a Phoenix physician and chairman of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD), said the announcement by CAIR 'continues the tired stoking of the flames of victimization.'"

Now there's one Muzzie who seems to have a handle on the situation.

Welcome to FR!

For a pilgrimage to be more effective ... make the scumbags walk and swim to Mecca.

doesn't that mean that CAIR is now profiling airlines for lawsuits?
I feel "profiled" for extermination by radical Imams. Where does my lawsuit go?

I, unfortunately don't. This, along with their unwitting allies in the media are their best weapons.

They're winning the propaganda war, since day one they have said:

Americans don't have the taste for blood, we embrace death, they will leave defeated.

The media has spouted the same message, and based on the last election, the terrorists are right.

" make the scumbags walk and swim to Mecca."

How about having Arab only flights with Arab only flight crews. Follow the flights with F-18's. If they make a wrong turn or deviate the flight plan, shoot them down.

Somehow they feel they have a right to all the great things we in the west have made. If they hate us so much why don't they try not using anything we made.
Like the airplane, the car, the train, cruise ships, cell phones, cameras, etc, etc. Go back to using camels to get around and living in tents if they want to be pure to their religion.
Stop saying we are infidels while they use our great inventions and creations. Stop using the weapons we created. Go back to using only swords and arrows.
They're not greatful for anything.
Use, steal, complain, and kill everyone.
Some religion.

That sounds like a plan. Take passports away, one way flights and leave them there.

You bet they are.

But the media will quote them the same way they go to PETA about animals, or to the Sierra Club about environmental issues, as an authority.

It would really backfire if Congress corrected the law to require that in such lawsuits the loser must pay all the court costs.

This alone would clean up the mess in the courts.

"Muslim pilgrims urged to complain"

That's a nice title. Why send out fliers when you can get the word out for free.

MSM. Doing the job Americans refuse to do.

<< Before "jihad," the "thought" of blowing up a plane full of passengers was abhorrent to any human being. >>

And it still is.

We celebrate life and God and Goodness by building skyscrapers and aircraft and the Rule of Law and Judeo-Christian/Western/Human Civilization and the psychopathologically-hesperophobic islamanazis demonstrate the nature of their psychopathology by destroying our creatiions and murdering us.

And Rule of Law by reversing its meaning and by bypassing the requirement that for Rule of Law to function there must, in the litigants, be the presumption of honesty, truthfulness and moral integrity, all the antithesis of islam.
