Atlant Did Not Carry Five Muslims
Egyptian newspaper Akbar El-Hawadeth reported yesterday on the incident with Russian citizens in Sharm El Sheikh airport. Captain of IL-86 aircraft of Atlant-Soyuz company asked five Muslim passengers, 3 women in hijabs and 2 men, to leave the board before the plane took off. The captain acted so according to the demands of other passengers. Atlant-Soyuz stated the pilot’s actions are absolutely justified. Representatives of Muslim community say they “treat such episodes with understanding.” The captain of IL-86 aircraft flying to Moscow from Sharm El Sheikh asked five passengers who caused other passengers’ suspicions to leave the aircraft. The five Muslims were retained at the airport for a complete security check. IL-86 was checked by policemen with specially trained dogs, and took off 50 minutes later. The five Muslims flew to Russia a day later, and the women were asked not to wear hijabs during the flight.

I see no problem with the aircraft Captains decision. My understanding, at least here in America is that the aircraft commander has the final say over who can and cannot fly on his aircraft.
"She added that it is important to educate people on the subject, and to explain that clothes, behavior, lifestyle should not create basis for discrimination".
If that's the case, maybe the Muslims could stop killing infidels. That might just help their image problems.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Where's CAIR?
"I see no problem with the aircraft Captains decision. My understanding, at least here in America is that the aircraft commander has the final say over who can and cannot fly on his aircraft."
Yeah right. If a United pilot tried this, holy hell would break loose. It would be front page news, and the pilot would never fly for an American carrier again.
I guess the Russians are ahead of us on this one.
Terrorist will not be stupid enough to advertise themselves.
However, incididents like this do satisfy some people's raging anger.
"Where's CAIR?"
Counsel for American Islamic Relations?
It would have to be a Russian equivalent, CRIR?
CAIR is in American, and most likely fuming over this. The bomb belts are being readied.
CAIR doesn't DARE to CARE THERE, but takes advantage of us super-kind Americans.
It's about time for the West to outlaw this nonsense of routinely wearing masks in public.
Could it maybe also be the result of the Muslim women who blew up two Russian airliners simultaneously last year? Or the Muslims who took a school hostage and murdered children?
At least their spokeswoman treats it with "understanding". If a captain of an American airliner did this, he would be treated with lawsuits.
What's different about Islamophobia than "general pure racism" that there are so many ( http://thereligionofpeace.com ) serious LEGITIMATE reasons (global victims) behind anti-Islamism.
Well... beheadings, murders and homicide by self-explosion are not a good marketing startegy...
I guess the non-muzzie passengers didn't want to blow up or be beheaded. How closed minded of them.
Reportedly Atta and his gang boasted of their upcoming attacks the night they spent at a strip joint.
>> "If a United pilot tried this, holy hell would break loose. It would be front page news, and the pilot would never fly for an American carrier again."
one did, it did, it was and think he isn't.
"Where's CAIR?".....I Flushed it yesterday--it's where it belongs....LOL..
Next morning they shaved so they can trick the infidels.
