I think the Imams were trolling for a cash settlement.

PR stunt mining for cash.

Three parallel investigations...

Aha! Three cover-ups proves that Amerika is structurally racist....

Just predictin'. ;^)

[Piquaboy]

If these Imams think we are so bad they should get to hell out of our country and go back to where they will fit in.

"this is a customer-service issue . . . where we might need to do outreach"

This is a red flag. Despite the airline's defending its actions, their expressed need to conduct "outreach" indicates that the Imams were at least partly succesful in instilling a sense of guilt and making the airline think that maybe they had been insensitive to Muslims. So I see a step towards dhimmitude even as the airline defends itself. Damn.

[radar101]

The millionth confirmation that Muslims lie their a$$ off.

[InkYouBuss_007]

Now that we know what we already knew the remaining question is..

How do the folks who were forced to investigate this foolishness recover their expenses. I'd like to see these six put thru the legal process and be held accountable for their false claims.

Of course I still believe in the tooth fairy also.

"The report noted that "two of the passengers requesting seat-belt extensions when their body size did not appear to warrant their use."
Mr. Shahin told television reporters that he needed the seat-belt extension because he weighs 280 pounds. However, the police report lists his weight as 201 pounds. Weights listed for the other imams ranged from 170 pounds to 250 pounds."
I have always thought this was the most interesting part. Another story posted here pointed out that they did not use the extensions, but placed them on the floor at their feet. These items, with heavy pieces of metal at both ends, could easily be used as weapons or wrapped around a cabin attendant's neck to take someone hostage. These people were up to no good, and now they're crying "victim."

I think this is a serious situation.

I believe these men were probing how far they could go in order to commit another terrorist attack.

They think that we are a bunch of idiots that will blindly allow ourselves to be attacked again. And so far, it sounds like we are close to that.

With DemonRats in control, there is no doubt in my mind that another attack will happen.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

This won't be the last. They will just get smarter as they try to destroy us using our systems which have evolved over the years blissfully unaware that there are millions who are actively trying to eliminate us.

[Michael.SF.]

Two things should happen here:

1) The people on this flight should get an attorney and file a law suit against these A-holes for what they did: Conspire together to scare the bejeezes out of everyone, the delays encountered and for the 'mental anguish'.

2) These guys need to be arrested and charged with a crime........ Conspiracy to disrupt air travel.

[ExTexasRedhead]

This is being circulated around the Internet:

I was a passenger on that flight, sitting in seat 5-E originally and later temporarily sitting in the front row of first class, while waiting for everyone to disembark the plane for a safety check. Having been on the plane, witnessed what transpired first hand and talked at great length with the first class steward regarding other facts, I am "ENRAGED" at the national AND local news reports I have seen this morning. The facts reported are incomplete and inaccurate. This event was immediately jumped on by their attorney, who told the American people on CNBC they need to get over 911, stop being paranoid about Muslims and he even threatened a huge law suit against US Airways for the discriminating and humiliating treatment of his clients. I am convinced this entire thing may have been done to intimidate not only US Airways, but all airlines and airports in order to get them to back off on their security efforts. This is only part of the real story.

In defense of US Airways: They did a splendid job of handling the situation. No panic was created we felt protected at all times. They did not make a knee jerk reaction as a result of one passenger passing them a note as reported by the media. Most importantly, the public needs to be told that there was a series of "many suspicious events", which were observed by the crew and several passengers. The captain made his decision based on all of these events and not just one note.

Their attorney is trying to turn this into a "right to pray in a public place issue" and it is not that at all.

This passengers name and address are at the bottom of the long letter for validation.

[enotheisen]

Perhaps we should suggest to our representatives and senators that it would be nice to give the airlines the right to ban for life anyone found to be probing airline security in this manner. If the perps knew they would never fly on a US or other nation carrier for life they might think twice about such behavior.

When is the government going to learn that "Imam" is just another word for "terrorist". Often we hear that it's very difficult to pick out who is the terrorist among a crowd of muslims, because they all dress the same. "Imam's, who are terrorist leaders, dress differently, and should be regarded as an easy target. The "mosks" they use to inspire other members of their cell and plan their attacks on American targets, should be considered terrorist bases, and watched or destroyed as well.

If we want to win this war, we need to call a spade a spade and do what needs to be done to eliminate the enemy. Muslims know what mosks are really used for, and as we can see in Iraq, they have no problem blowing up each others terrorist bases.

We need to stop calling everything a "muslim holy site" or a "holy city", and destroy them as needed. There is nothing "holy" about Islam, there's is nothing "holy" in the Koran,and Mohammad was not a "prophet", he was simply this terrorist networks founder, an evil man who was a rapist, a mass murderer, a bandit, a pedophile, Liar and adulterer. None of these are qualities of a "prophet". In fact each one of these qualities alone disqualifies Mohammad from making this claim, and in a sane world with rational sane people it should be recognized that Islam is not a valid religion at all, but simply a terrorists manual. The Koran should be renamed: "How to be a sucessfull terrorist, bandit, rapist, and prdophile, and be praised for it". It should then be banned from ever being printed, and all existing copies gathered up and committed to the flames. This blood cult needs to be stopped.

The best thing they could do right now- not later! is to charge these imams with obstruction, endangering, and threatening behaviour! IF we don't do this- it will simply embolden more to do the same thing until finally they win a frivelous lawsuit and force us to stop profiling anyone dressed in a head band while we continue to scrutinze old ladies and children. http://sacredscoop.com

Expect to see this "pray-in" ploy used by the Islaminazis all over now. Expect to see it in libraries, baseball games, large restaurants, bus terminals, and your very public parks.

They succeeded in many ways here. They got noticed nationally, they created fear, they got the authorities to question procedure and pay for an investigation, and they set a precedent for future large scale activities.

This is a war to them. Are we ready?
