I think the Imams were trolling for a cash settlement.
These Imams were a bunch of drama queens. Hopefully it is getting easeir to recognize and dismiss theatrics such as this.
The cash settlement was, I think, just gravy. What they really wanted was to further undermine us by having all airports provide muslim "prayer rooms". And, if they could get away with it at airports, it would quickly become their "right" to have them in public buildings everywhere. It could probably be done under the Americans With Disabilities Act. Anyone stupid enough to believe that 'allah' is God has a serious disability.

Bull. They were testing to see just how far they could push it in prep for the next attack. BTW, The Phoenix Republic (as left wing a paper as there is) has NOT PRINTED ANYTHING except that they were just 'flying while muslim'!
Aside- The Republic refuses to call illegals, illegals. Instead they are resident aliens or migrants.
That was secondary. Primary was to disarm our security for the next attack.
They should be probed with a hot poker..
I think they had a variety of goals.
It all boils down to the Caliphate.
Anyone consider that maybe these dummies were actually going to try and highjack the aircraft...and were simply incompetent.
