Let's see you get pulled off a plane, told there was no reason to pull you off, pay for ANOTHER plane ticket and see how happy you are. I think we all agree that the situation sucks. But the blame for it belongs on Islamic terrorists, not United Airlines. Farooq can't just blithely ignore the past weeks, months and years of our experience with Islamists and pretend we should all ignore it too.
There is a valid reason for suspicion of Muslim passengers. And it isn't religious bigotry.

In fairness, mine is a bit of religious bigotry. Note that I had none of this before 9/11. Tough.
