they were asked to leave the plane and refused.

They were treated like terrorists....Because they are terrorists. The pulled this crap on purpose and to suggest otherwise strains credulity

[Izzy Dunne]

Perhaps they should all Boycott the Airlines.

"...and further proof that Islam phobia is a growing problem in the United States."

Gee Mr. Wizard - why do you suppose that is?

[caisson71]

Muslims "outraged"? When are they NOT outraged? Let's prepare for some beheadings, torched properties, protests and general mayhem.

[highimpact]

Not that there's anything suspicious about a group of muslims moving in a syncronized fashion on an airplane. Nope, nothing to be concerned about.

[avacado]

Some Imams praying before getting on an airplane...?? No cause for alarm there! /sarc

[djf]

It's time the muslims figured something out.

If there are ten dogs in my house, and I know three have rabies, but not which three, then very soon there will be no dogs in my house.

The "silent" muslims are aiding and abetting terrorism. They are, therefore, just as guilty as the rest.

[Barney Gumble]

Now, the Muslims will try to throw the biggest fit possible, so the next time people are suspicious they don't do anything about it. This is what drives political correctness. They hope that US Airways will be so pacified that they refused to kick any Muslim off.

Self-censorship is the most dangerous type.

[NY Attitude]

Nihad Awad should ask himself how many of the people that hijacked those airliners on 9/11 were muslim? THen, just then he may understand why the situation is the way it is. Or maybe he would prefer internment camps for the muslim population that live in the United States.

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.

As long as the "building of bridges" doesn't involve the "taking of our property" in order to build.

[AbeKrieger]

I believe Muslims and their supporters should immediately boycott all airlines, and in fact, the entire United States.

That will teach all of us damn dirty racist, intolerant Americans !!!!!

[edpc]

The group said the men told it they were accused of "suspicious activity," which they believed was only their attempt to pray.

So, a group of Muslim men pray together on a plane and expect nobody would be alarmed? I call BS on this. I'll go so far as to say they did it on purpose, knowing it would call attention and cause a stir. I am certain groups of Muslims have travelled together on a plane since 9/11 and this is the only episode I have ever heard reported about this prayer they say is done regularly.

[mikeandike]

Frankly, why should anyone care if they felt humiliated. We should be more concerned about how the Muslim community is showing they rest of the world how they will help us prevent terrorism.

[Bosco]

When Muslims show that they are just as outraged as the rest of us about Islamic Fascism and terrorism and then do something about it, then they can travel with the rest of us without the suspicion.

[atomicpossum]

The group said the men told it they were accused of "suspicious activity," which they believed was only their attempt to pray.

Attempting to pray on a plane IS suspicious activity if you're a Muslim, particularly in a group. Not PC, but it is an absolute fact.

[darkwing104]

The last thing Muslims wanted is more bad press...

Here's a helpful tip...Behave yourselves.

[Peter Libra]

Ten to one, these men knew what they were doing.

The softening up of society is their ultimate gaol. Their action was just as unjustifiable as the "joker" talking about a big surprise in his luggage and so on.

Still, it is not as bad as a tirade in a university library.

I do not trust these people.

[beethovenfan]

"Muslims enraged after...(fill in the blanks)"

[LibWhacker]

"discussing how to build bridges"

Guess they finally figured the best way was to go to an infidel's airport, shout "allahu akbar" a few dozen times, and then stare menacingly at all the infidels walking by...

Oops, back to the drawing board!
