How have you gotten away with calling people wetbacks and ragheads and other racist garbage since signing up in 2001?
To: jocko12
Did you even read what they wanted? They want freedom from the oppressive Islamist government and you say send them back there to be most likely put to death for speaking out against the Iranian State. I have allot of respect for these people doing what they did they are risking their lives and the lives of their families still in Iran.

Fly them back to raghead land.So you support the anti-American Islamic militant Mullahs? Is Arafat one of your heros? Did it break your heart when the American hostages were freed in 1981?

A Boeing plane of German Lufthansa is parked alongside Pier A at Brussels National airport in Zaventem I had to look it up. Lufthansa does fly 737s. I thought they only flew Airbus planes in that size category.

What a bunch of clowns. Overthrow the mullahs yourselves instead of begging foreigners to do it. No one has the right to interfere with the workings of an airport and inconvenience others in such a ridiculous manner. This is no different than when environmentalists criminally vandalize private property.
