The unanswered question: Why were the two men in question taken off the plane? There are answers implied, but it's interesting that none are given directly. Were the passengers correct?
Yea, whatever....it's about time that people stood up for their concern against those "religion of peace" members. It's their own fault...let's hope it happens more often.

When the leaders fail to lead the people, THE PEOPLE MUST LEAD THE LEADERS.
Under the same kind of circumstances, I would be nervous, too and I would want the airline to boot off the suspicious passengers.
Of course, the Muslims are complaining that these passengers were victims of racial profiling. Well, when the so-called moderate Muslims start taking meaningful action against their extremist co-religionists, then maybe we can think about not offending their delicate sensibilities with racial profiling. Until then, they can just endure the indignities that their fanatic brethren are causing them to undergo.
They should be - but aren't always. or how did all those other hijackings and bombing attempts occur?
Stay vigilant!
The public is waking up. Unfortunately, the forces of PC will shut them up and tell them that they are racist. This is unfortunate.
Only if the passengers undertook actions demonstrably against their own interests could we say they were IRRATIONAL.
As they acted in what they saw were their interests, they acted RATIONALLY.
Customers are entitled to feel safe, and hopefully there will be many more of these incidents.
"That is not what we want. The colour of your skin shouldn't identify what you are. It is a sad state of affairs that that has happened."
It is a sad state of affairs, but it is not one of our making. The Muslims have brought this upon themselves. Unless they reform, it is going to get a heckuva lot worse.
Here is another: "Muslim doctor wants apology from U.S. airline" http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2006/08/18/doctor-winnipeg.html
I would post it myself, but with all the restrictions on posting, I'm not sure what's allowed anymore.
I consider both of theses stories good news stories, the kind you want to read with morning breakfast to get the day off to a good start.
"Uh, that's not what happened. It was ok for the two guys to fly but the other passengers didn't want to fly with them. The pilot made the final decision though. What's interesting to me is that they were removed and questioned and the passengers were not told to fly with them or get off. Even luggage was searched and everyone re-screened. Officials obviously saw something that needed checking out too.
"Clearly we can't have a situation where ONE passenger decides that another passenger isn't going to fly."Obviously the person making the statement is confused.I believe the desire to have the two men removed from the aircraft was unanimous.
The Muslims have made their bed ...
Nobody gives a crap about "skin colour" any more. That is like, so mid-20th-Century.
If we had more moderate Arabs prominently denouncing terrorism and helping the authorities to bust islamofascists, Flight Vetos would have never begun.
The message is clear: If you see Muslims acting strangely at the airport, you are a rotten, rotten person for even *thinking* something could be amiss. Shame on you. Instead of reporting your suspicions, you should sit down and shut up like a good little sheep.
Ever since 9/11, we've been hectored by security officials to be on the alert and vigilent about potential threats. Now when a group of people does exactly that, some fathead tries to guilt-trip them for it. Screw you and your PC-speak, Mister MP Mahmood, we're taking responsibility for our own safety these days. If that sometimes leads to innocent parties being inconvenienced, that's the breaks of being involved in a war.
