The six imams removed from a US Airways flight last week have apparently adopted my suggestion that if they really want to protest the airline, instead of boycotting US Airways, they should start flying it frequently.
The spokesman for the imams — or as I believe it's phrased in their culture, "designated liar" — Omar Shahin, staged a protest at Reagan Washington National Airport on Monday, after which, according to The Associated Press, "he and other religious leaders boarded a US Airways flight to demonstrate their determination to continue praying and flying."
The original six imams removed from the flight last week first attracted attention when they said prayers to Allah on traditional Muslim prayer rugs in the boarding area. After boarding, they changed seats, spreading themselves throughout the plane. They were also overheard spouting anti-American rhetoric. Witnesses said the six men appeared to be either Islamic fanatics or U.S. Army chaplains on leave from Guantanamo.

Every one of those bastards would be deported or in internment camps in the desert.
F 'em all.
The six imams removed from a US Airways flight last week have apparently adopted my suggestion that if they really want to protest the airline, instead of boycotting US Airways, they should start flying it frequently.

The original six imams removed from the flight last week first attracted attention when they said prayers to Allah on traditional Muslim prayer rugs in the boarding area. After boarding, they changed seats, spreading themselves throughout the plane. They were also overheard spouting anti-American rhetoric. Witnesses said the six men appeared to be either Islamic fanatics or U.S. Army chaplains on leave from Guantanamo.
Following the lead of FEMA in keeping Americans safe, the Homeland Security Department's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties is investigating the removal of the imams from the US Airways flight. (Talk about coincidences – I'm currently investigating the removal of the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties from the Department of Homeland Security!)
Imam spokesman Shahin is a great example of why airport security ought to be profiling Arabs. Shahin's predecessor at the Islamic Center in Tucson was Osama bin Laden's financier and head of logistics – until he was arrested in Saudi Arabia in 2002.
Instead of aggressively distinguishing himself from his terrorist predecessor, judging by news reports, Shahin spent the five years after 9-11 denying that Muslims were behind the attacks and complaining of phony anti-Islamic "hate crimes" – as opposed to the pro-Islamic hate crimes he presumably endorses.
In 2003, for example, Shahin alleged that a woman in Arizona had thrown shoes at children at the mosque.
This is the most transparent hoax I've heard since, "If I did it, here's how I would have done it." This is like the joke about a speaker at an American communist rally opening with: "Workers and peasants of Brooklyn!" Shahin has so little insight into this country, he can't even invent a believable hate crime.
It's Arabs who have a thing about shoes being a sign of disrespect, not Americans. When Iraqis toppled the statue of Saddam Hussein, the crowd immediately pelted it with shoes.
Shahin himself couldn't get away from this pan-Arabic shoe fetish, adding: "The incidents of Muslims being attacked kind of shocked me in my shoes." Note to imams trying to fabricate hate crimes against Muslims: Americans don't share your shoe neurosis.
At Reagan National this week, rabbis joined the Muslims at the prayer protest – though one imagines they did not share this prayer from the Hadith: "And the Jews will hide behind the rock and tree, and the rock and tree will say: 'O Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!'" In fairness, they usually save that one for the high holidays, like the "Festival of the Six Dead Jews" or "Honor Killing Week."
Nor this one, also from the Hadith: "The Prophet said: 'The Hour will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims kill them. The Muslims will kill the Jews. Rejoice! Rejoice in Allah's victory!'" (Is it just me, or might some fanatic twist those words into an excuse to kill Jews?)
Also strange was that the NAACP has piped in to complain about racial profiling of Muslims. The only reason Americans feel guilty about "racial profiling" against blacks is because of the history of discrimination against blacks in this country.
What did we do to the Arabs? I believe Americans are the victims in that relationship. After the attacks of 9-11, profiling Muslims is more like profiling the Klan.
I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!!
In general, the immams (not just these immams) seem to be at the root of all this evil.
No I don't! If there is another attack they should all be deported. islam is not here to coexist - it is here to take over. It is a metastasizing cancer.
LOL!!!!
Thanks for the ping.
Ann ~ is a keeper!!
I would think so, but then I also would have thought that about the first 9/11.
Well .. I'm afraid it may be something similar - like a dirty bomb which can kill almost as many.
That is the truth. I don't think that those people understand how many of us are armed and love this country and are more than willing to defend it, unlike the weak-wristed liberal elites they think inhabit this land. They are in for a surprise.
"The only stipulation is that a GPS system be set into each of these planes that is connected to a computer system on top of a few 100 pounds of C4.....
Please. Bush refused to play into bin Laden's hands by going to that mosque and giving that speech--he exercised excellent strategic judgment, or I guess strategeric judgment in this case.
I don't know if I'm the only one offended by the fact that you seem to think we all need to view these photos several times a day, but I think it is inappropriate.
They are also attempting to brainwash us into thinking islam is a religion of peace. My left foot it is!
muslims are very lucky that the citizens of this country, those of us who believe in freedom - are not the BARBARIANS that THEY are. If we were, we would not be talking. . .
As long as there are Americans like me, who abhor cruelty, directed towards anyone it will never happen Jack. I promise you that this would not happen on a flight I was on.
"Not me. I advocate nuking the source of the problem, that black rock in Saudi Arabia, before the sun sets on the day of the next attack"
I disagree
It needs to be done next Ramadan.
