MINNEAPOLIS - Six Muslim imams were removed from a US Airways flight at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on Monday and questioned by police for several hours before being released, a leader of the group said.
The six were among passengers who boarded Flight 300, bound for Phoenix, around 6:30 p.m., airport spokesman Pat Hogan said.
A passenger initially raised concerns about the group through a note passed to a flight attendant, according to Andrea Rader, a spokeswoman for US Airways. She said police were called after the captain and airport security workers asked the men to leave the plane and the men refused.

MSNBC's anchorwoman just compared the Muslims on this flight to - wait for it! - Rosa Parks.
The difference is Rosa Parks did not want to slaughter me and place my country under sharia law.
The more I read this story the more enraged I get. They try that when I am on a plane I will say GET OFF THE PLANE. Nothing to indicate bias or threats just GET OFF THE PLANE hopefully other passengers would stand and point and say the same thing like a chant.
That Shrumj 'Mr. Nuclear' dude is the guest speaker.
"Strangers on my flight. They're packin' turbans.."
