Muslims Felt Singled Out During Alert

Muslims are getting used to the scrutiny - and fed up with it, said immigration lawyer Sohail Mohammed.

Tough.

"Now we're about ready to say it's not worth flying every time there's one of these heightened security alerts."

Which means the skies are probably safer.

they should be happy they haven't all been asked to go home as far as I am concerned we should tighten up even more.

Muslims felt singled out during alert.

Hey, I felt singled out during the alert too.
As a target/victim.

[FourPeas]

Plan ahead. It certainly isn't news that a bunch of dudes with middle eastern names attached our country using airliners. If you have a middle eastern name allow yourself plenty of time to arrive at your destination. It's common sense.

[IncPen]

Since the airwaves here are clogged with 'moderate' Muslims berating their murderous bretheren, I think we should lighten up on all of them.

Oh wait, that's right.

'Moderate' Islam hasn't distinguished itself from 'radical' Islam.

I have a REALLY GREAT idea! Why don't Muslims with experiences like this convince their fellows and their congregations to DENOUNCE TERRORISM in no uncertain terms. Up to now, the silence has been deafening, and I imagine that has contributed substantially to the situation.

I feel singled out every time they raise taxes.

"Why don't Muslims with experiences like this convince their fellows and their congregations to DENOUNCE TERRORISM in no uncertain terms. Up to now, the silence has been deafening..."

It certainly has, especially here in New Jersey, the home away from home for Muslim terrorists and whiners!

Boo-freaking-hoo. I told everyone they should have gone door to door in Northern New Jersey after 9/11, and they should have. And every day, every single day, the newspapers, especially the Jersey (City) Journal ran a hug a Muslim, love a Muslim, pity a Muslim story. And in every single article there was nothing but criticism of America. If these people are not here to take over our country I don't know why they are here, they don't seem to like it very much.

The woman quoted in the article probably thinks the Mossad and the CIA attacked us on 9/11. I think the only Muslims who "get it" are those unfortunates who were killed by their co-religionists on 9/11 and other days.

As far as feeling mistreated, they should be GRATEFUL.

Chances are they are safer HERE from terrorism, than in their original diabolical homeland, where their muslim brothers blow up people, too.

And they should be GRATEFUL they haven't been sent to internment camps, like the Japanese.

More people killed on 9/11/2001 than Pearl Harbor.

Rarely, if ever, do they express such sentiments--namely gratitude.

[miltonim]

Could that be the Jersey Al Jazeera Journal?

[SandRat]

And they should be GRATEFUL they haven't been sent to internment camps, like the Japanese.

One more attack here and that could well change. May even include the ACLU defenders too.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Gosh I wonder why.

[willyboyishere]

My heart bleeds.......
====the decent(nonterrorist) Muslim/Arab folk are getting their "baptism" as American citizens. Every ethnic group has had to weather this cold water, and these people have no perspective on how hard it was for even European immigrants, like the Irish, who came here without jobs, skills, or means, and had to fight their way tooth and nail into the "mainstream". It would be helpful if someone would try to teach them just how good they've got it, terror alerts or not, but of course, their lawyers aren't going to be the ones to do it.

By the time the matter was cleared up, the only flight that would arrive in Egypt in time for the wedding had already taken off.

This line doesn't pass my smell test.

I cannot imagine flying halfway around the world for a wedding, and not planning to arrive a day or two early. I just did a check at travelocity for Newark to Cairo flights for three consecutive days. There were 6, 3, and 6 one stop flights available respectively on the three days I checked.

Hey Muslims,
I'd cry for you but I am still crying over the loss of 3000 of my fellow American's and can't seem to feel too bad that you were inconvenienced for a while. I'm sure that those people would prefer to be a little inconvenienced rather than blown up by those who practice this insane religion you seem to uphold so zealously.

When Mohammedan jihad is declared I think it is obvious we should begin arresting Lutherens.

Liability lawyers can line up on the left side of the line. Hate-crimes lawyers can line up on the right.

Move along. Move along.

[RightWhale]

Felt singled out? Wonder why they ought to feel singled out, maybe it's because all this war stuff was started by their godless, immoral, cowardly terrorism cousins who hide behind tacit-approval noncombatants such as these.
