This was posted at Cynical Nation:

This hasn't hit the news yet, but my brother-in-law is sitting on a plane in Heathrow Airport as we speak, and there is apparently some action going on. It seems his plane was stormed by agents with machine guns, who seized a Middle Eastern passenger from my brother-in-law's row and removed him from the plane.

U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mineta immediately demanded that the Blair government send the armed authorities back to the plane and seize all three-year-olds and grandmothers.

Did he refuse to stow his carry-on bag in the overhead compartment before takeoff?

The truth is that we are far more optimistic and romantic than experience should have taught us; we think the religious teachings are false and wrong but still believe the people are inherently good.

Well said!

Why we tolerate ANY Muslims among us will be one of lifes great mysteries to me.

It's because most Moslems are no more inclined to violence than most Christians are to charity.

Was the plane heading to Rome?

A terrorist would be able to hit many world leaders in one stroke a the Pope's funeral.

(Except Prince Charles. He has to go to a wedding that day.)

Grut you have a unfortunate problem that only you and the ones around you must be aware of.

If you think Christians are not charitable, what lib city are you living in?

Christians in America are unbelievably charitable. I am astounded every year that the incredible amount of money donated at my church alone. For several years now, better off families have put up matching funds of up to $400,000 for any dollar given by other members to mission work and the establishment of new churches.

Good try.

"That's right. There are 1.2 Billion muslims and every single one of them is a bad person and shouldn't be tolerated?
Gee, where have I heard this philosophy before?"
