Some Muslims - who aren't actually terrorists - have been known to try to throw a scare into their fellow passengers just for the heck of it, knowing that they can't actually be arrested for it. The airline did exactly the right thing - this is a signal that if Muslim passengers start messing with others' heads, they will be taking the next plane to their destination. That ought to discourage quite a few of these guys from playing out their terrorist impersonations.
Better still, have the air marshalls shot a few of them.
Phobia, is it? The atrocities are planned and perpetrated 1:in the name of Muslims worldwide, 2:in the name of Islam, and 3:in the name of Allah. If Muslims feel threatened, they need to solve their problem. If they don't, someone else will have to.
What was it Henry the K said, something like "even the paranoid have enemies?"
youth IS a code word, but asian in britain is the normal term for people from pakistan.
I guess the wogs are running the country then....No wonder they are eradicating all the old English customs.
Me too.
Not all Asians are Pakistani or Muslim. In fact, the vast majority of Asian are not.
Why should Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, Japanese, Filipinos, and Thais be stigmatized just because someone is afraid to call a Muslim a Muslim.
What happened is eminently rational.
'They deserve the next attack...and there certainly will be another.'
That's a crappy thing to say about our best ally. It's as stupid as saying we deserved 911 because we support Israel. It's the terrorists who are the bad guys and we're target number 1 - if the brits hadn't been on the ball we'd still be discussing the 10 American airliners that blew up along with the thousands of dead Americnas.
