Seriously... wtf is it with these people? You call for jihads and wanting to kill or enslave all of us, then object when we take you at your word? Serious evidence of recta-cranial inversion going on there.

U.S. Muslims outraged after imams kicked off plane
By Michael Conlon 27 minutes ago
Muslim leaders expressed outrage on Tuesday after six imams were removed from a commercial airline flight in Minnesota for what they said was nothing more than trying to say evening prayers.
"They were treated like terrorists ... humiliated," said Abu Hannoud, civil rights director for the Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, who said the men were taken off the US Airways flight in handcuffs.
He said the men were still trying to find a flight back to Phoenix where most are affiliated with a major mosque after the carrier refused them passage following the incident on Monday evening.
"We are concerned that crew members, passengers and security personnel may have succumbed to fear and prejudice based on stereotyping of Muslims and Islam," added Nihad Awad, executive director of the council, in a statement from the group's Washington headquarters.
"We call on relevant authorities to investigate whether proper procedures were followed by security personnel and members of the US Airways flight crew," he said.
The group said the men told it they were accused of "suspicious activity," which they believed was only their attempt to pray.
Hannoud said in an interview that the men had been attending a three-day meeting of the North American Imams Federation in the Minneapolis area "discussing how to build bridges" between Muslims and American society, and that the FBI and local police had been informed in advance about the meeting.
"They were rewarded by being treated like terrorists," he said. "Their humiliation is really a humiliation for the entire Muslim community," he added, and further proof that Islam phobia is a growing problem in the United States.

Question: Can beautiful, busty, blue-eyed, blond-haired, white, 5'2" women see over the dashboards of 747's?
Flight training might be a real strain. But fortunately, these putative 5'2" beautiful terrorists don't have to learn how to land.
They're lucky that they didn't get the crap beat out of them or outright killed. I will say that if I was on that plane, and if the plane was off the ground, and they pulled this crap they would be dead. No if's, and's, or but's
What of Christian prayers before boarding planes in Saudi Arabia (with crosses and Bibles)?
What goes around comes around. aka: tit for tat
Awwwwwww. Poor babyyyyyyy.
STFU, CAIR!
Ooops, here come the riots again. Muslims were offended.
Of course they did this on purpose and the purpose was to get our liberal courts involved in their "plight." They have learned well from liberal organizations here who challange anything they don't like in the courts. I imagine if a group of Catholic nuns on an airplane started reciting the rosary aloud, they would be asked to leave the plane too. Muslims must learn to abide by the laws of the USA not the laws of their religion. If they cannot do this, then they should not be in this country.
How does anybody know for sure if they're "praying"? If they're standing in the aisles speaking Arabic, how are non-Arabic speakers supposed to know what they're saying? Hmmmmm?!!!
It wouldn't have been an issue. Christianity doesn't require showmanship prayer. Islam obviously does.
Muslims do not care what Jesus taught.
Only 3 were standing and praying
An Arabc speaker overheard an anti-American conversation and reported it.
If standing and praying was so important they could have taken a different flight.
From the muslim's own mouth jumps the root of the problem, something that all immigrants must be made to understand. Within this country, there is no need for a bridge between muslim and American society. Either you come here legally and adopt the American way or go where you will feel more comfortable. This is the United States of America. Do it our way or depart. We are not interested in seeing our women covered head to toe and treated as slaves. We do not bray to the East 7 times a day to the exclusion of all other activity. Our individual Christian beliefs in the Almighty do not totally dictate nor do they interfere with our chosen work. And no Christian belief that I know of mandates the murder of someone who disagrees with me.
So pack up your flying carpet with you and yours and GTF out of here!
Have we not learned anything about compassion, kick them off in midair.
If so, I just found a new favorite airline.
What's the difference?

Oh, boo-f*king-hoo! They should have been shot.
Amazing how such a small percentage of the population can be such a major pain in the ass!
Message to Imams: STFU and Issue a FATWA stating that:
All terrorists, extremists, and suicidal fanatics who pretend to be Muslims are in fact NOT Muslim, and will go to HELL (thus forfeiting their 72 Helen Thomases).
