No, it's right on target, and the "bigotry" is well-represented in the Koran, the Hadiths, sharia, the Saudi and Iranian religious police, and the Taliban.
"Bigoted" indeed.
The only "bigotry" is the presumption that "a stoneface look" from a Muslim male means that he's a terrorist.
Is that what you believe?
While I feel sorry for ME'ers and Muslims who would not get into these clubs, what can you do? They need to exert more pressure on their sick brethren.
I think she was being sarcastic.
Think again. I have fought terrorists before, and seeing PC dingbats such as yourself make excuses is appalling.
How many terrorists have you killed in your life? I have killed many in my military service, and I am fairly confident that you cannot say the same. Now bugger off, lest I have to spank you a second time.
Bump for future reference.
Suuuure you did. And, again, why does threatening to hit a woman make you feel like a man?
PC dingbat? You know NOTHING about me, yet feel free to attack me -- and in the most ludicrous manner.
Now, are you going to apologize for threatening to hit me, or do I have to take care of this in another manner?
Ludicrous? Hardly. It is people like yourself that got us into this mess in the first place. If you cannot connect-the-dots re: muslims, Islam, and ME men, then you should NOT be here. Off with you.
Some people never learn until its too late, when a Muslim is about to slit their throat on a plane.
RE -
"...a Middle Eastern man was trying to break through a wall to the cockpit. "
I don't suppose that Muchmed the Magnificent was even expected to pay for the mirror, was he?
Wouldn't want to "offend" anyone, now would we?
Isn't it a good thing that Norm MINETTA, the same political hack who sues the airlines for millions if they check more than two of the same ethnic type per planeload, has seen to it that darned few if any of the pilots are armed, despite a "law" that gives them the right to be?
They might actually HURT one of Norm's little PC Jihad buddies as he busts into the cockpit!
We can't have that now, can we?!
Sadly, PC Normie will still be in charge of Transportation, actively aiding and abetting our enemies, (much less offending them) even after the next "big one", I'm afraid.
RE: "...if you see a group of foreigners acting suspiciously...YOU DAMN WELL SAY SOMETHING!!!"
Right.
Then stand by for arrest for disorderly conduct as soon as you land, and a hefty lawsuit on top of that, in all probablility.
So I guess that any Passenger who is feeling threatened by a bunch of "Middle Eastern" types who decides to take some initiative and intervene, does so entirely at their own risk.
Of course, if it ends up saving the plane and some intended target, it may well be worth it. But if no HARD evidence of a terrorist operation can be recovered, his / their butts are going to be in a serious sling for a long time.
But then, if someone can provide sufficient leadership presence among a planeload of terrified passengers, he might be able to convert all of that "fright" primal instinct into a collective "fight" adrenaline rush, and instigate a general onboard riot in which everyone who even LOOKS Arabic gets pummelled to a pulp, and the plane has to make an emergency landing at the nearest airbase in order to quell the melee, put out the fires, and sort out the wounded from the dead.
If God is really good to America, there will be a few New York Irishmen on board. H#ll; about any Irishman will do!
What fun, eh?
If it turns out that our American Hero screwed up and it was a false alarm, at least he'll have plenty of company in jail!
Why would you face such charges for merely saying "Hey, what are you guys doing over there? Hey Stewardess...something fishy is going on!"
Oh, well never mind then. Just a former Koran reciter and a backup band of 14 Syrian nationals, with one-way tickets and expired visas, moving around the airplane abruptly in groups intimidating the passengers. Nothing to worry about.
"Do people think you are silly because you're a girl? At Women's Wall Street we understand hysteria (take my wife - Please) and won't judge you"
"You are encouraging people to IGNORE suspicious people, who may be terrorists."
FO you are right. What needs to be remembered that right up till the time the 9/11 hijackers took over a plane they were just architects, cab drivers, cooks, students, musicians, unemployed bums... what ever. The second after the slashed the first attendants neck with a box cutter they were terrorists.
Up until then they were practicing. If it looks suspicious it should be treated as such. I am sick of being too PC. Prevention of a terrorist incident is far less costly than reaction to an actual hijacking.
Perhaps to your surprise, I fully agree with you.
For some reason that I can't understand, througout this thread I have been attacked for espousing a position that I don't hold and never espoused.
I suspect that lots of folks just aren't very good readers.
Suspicious behavior should NEVER be ignored.
"Simple solution? Let everyone carry concealed. The airlines can mandate a low power frangible ammo that you have to purchase at the check in counter if they want to."
One more rule that would need to be made is NO ALCOHOL SERVED to carrying passengers. The two don't mix well at all.
Bump
