Wow, imagine if it had been Christians praying at a public high school! They would have been roughed up by PC police & school security, hand-cuffed, marched out of school and expelled. Fortunately these are Muslims whose rights obviously were being trampled on /sarcasm>

Remember after 911 when a bunch of Islamonazi's were in Walmart somewhere dressed in camo and whipped out the ol' prayer rug and started praying in the store.

Freaked some bonbon shoppers out of their spandex!

Maybe every stadium needs two chapels, one for each team.

Apparently they were congregating near the main air duct which is what set off the red flag.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Five Muslim football fans were detained and questioned during a New York Giants-New Orleans Saints game because they were congregating near the main air intake duct for Giants Stadium, not because they were praying, an FBI spokesman told The Associated Press on Wednesday......

"FBI agents were at the game that night because former President Bush was present to promote a fundraising effort he and former President Clinton had launched to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. The game was originally scheduled for New Orleans, but was switched to Giants Stadium because of the hurricane damage."

Call me wacky, but I think it's relatively common to have heightened security when POTUS is present. (Interesting that the sentence quoted above was almost and "oh, by the way" in the fifth paragraph from the end of the article.)

If Christians were blowing themselves up across the world for political causes and have outwardly expressed they hope America goes down in a ball of flames not seen since Hiroshima...I guess I could understand why I would be viewed as suspicious if I stopped what I was doing and started praying, ESPECIALLY during a game!

These people know why they were detained...the publicity it is receiving is purposeful in trying to break down our vigilance against terror attacks and clues to when one may happen.

This could have been an innocent mistake or it could have been a test to see how us "dirty" American pigs would react to their observance prior to blowing themselves up. In any event...I think we all have our answer.

This is the kind of peaceful civil disobedience that these bastards encourage. They think that if they use these tactics long enough that they will break down the system of profiling there sorry asses.
