Six imams removed from a US Airways flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix are calling on Muslims to boycott the airline.

From now on, I'll only fly on US Airways.

"Three of the men had one-way tickets and no checked baggage."

An important and scary detail.

"The idea that a Muslim boycott against US Airways would hurt the airline proves that Arabs are utterly tone-deaf. This is roughly the equivalent of Cindy Sheehan taking a vow of silence."

LMAO!!!!!

[tflabo]

Ya know...it's about time the Imams resort to a more traditional sky ride. Enviromentally friendly to appease the liberals too.

[Vigilanteman]

You know the rules.

[Lizavetta]

If only we could get Muslims to boycott all airlines, we could dispense with airport security altogether.

Zinger of the year.

[SandRat]

And for your listening enjoyment. Be sure to turn the volume up; -- Strangers on my Flight

[Caipirabob]

If US Air is smart they'll get a marketing campaign started based on this development ASAP.

[John Lenin]

Allahboard.

Sorry, I couldn't resist ...

[editor-surveyor]

Sounds like these Imams were deliberately taunting the airline, and the system. When is the last time anyone here flew to a 'conference' without luggage, or with a one way ticket?

[nj26]

I sure won't be flying Northwest anytime soon. After they boarded this obvious security threat onto a flight. The radical Muslims belong in jail.

Anybody that denies bin Laden was behind 9/11 should be thoroughly investigated by the FBI. Just as Germany ultimately had to crack down on Holocaust deniers.

[stockstrader]

US Airways stock (ticker symbol, LCC) was UP over $2/share today!!

Yep, the threat of a MUSLIM BOYCOTT sure hurt US Airways. /s

[stop_fascism]

Personally, I'd fly exclusively on any airline that Muslims boycott, even if I had to fly a few thousand miles out of my way to do it.

[mhking]

The idea that a Muslim boycott against US Airways would hurt the airline proves that Arabs are utterly tone-deaf.

I still berate US Scareways, but I'll happily fly'em now.

[Alberta's Child]

The idea that a Muslim boycott against US Airways would hurt the airline proves that Arabs are utterly tone-deaf. This is roughly the equivalent of Cindy Sheehan taking a vow of silence. How can we hope to deal with people with no sense of irony? The next thing you know, New York City cab drivers will be threatening to bathe.

LOL ping.

[vbmoneyspender]

Also they were Muslims.

LOL.

[IronJack]

the imams were talking about Saddam Hussein, and denouncing America and the war in Iraq.

If this were a perfect world, these "imams" would have not only been allowed to fly, they would have had preferential boarding.

Airlines extend you that courtesy when you're seriously injured and in a wheelchair.

You can love her or you can hate her, but odds are that if you find her argument lacking, it probably means you are a pussy.

Don't be too quick to switch airlines Ann. Here's the email I got from them after I praised them for looking out for the safety of their passengers:

Dear Valued Customer:

Thank you for taking the time to contact Customer Relations at US Airways. Your comments and perception of US Airways are very important to us.

We are aware of the situation involving six customers on US Airways Flight 300 from Minneapolis to Phoenix on the evening of November 20th, and are diligently conducting our own investigation. We are debriefing crewmembers and ground personnel as well as working with local law enforcement. We will cooperate fully with all of the appropriate law enforcement officials to determine the facts surrounding this incident.

We are always concerned when passengers are inconvenienced and especially concerned when a situation occurs which causes customers to feel their dignity was compromised. We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind and will continue to exhaust our internal investigation until we know the facts of this case and can provide answers for the employees and customers involved.

Thank you for sharing your comments and allowing us the opportunity to explain our position.

Sincerely,
