On Dec. 1, a curious report on the grounded-imams incident at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport appeared on the website of the Iranian Quran News Agency. The report quoted extensively from Madhi Bray, executive director of the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation. The foundation is the American arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, "the world's most influential Islamic fundamentalist group," according to the Chicago Tribune.
Bray's initial statement about the incident had an all-American, see-you-in-court ring. He demanded "large financial compensation for the imams," adding, "We want US Airways and any other airline displaying this type of behavior against Muslims to be hit where it hurts, the pocketbook."
The report echoed statements made by the imams themselves. Omar Shahin, their spokesman, has portrayed the incident in a way that's consistent with a lawsuit and a public relations offensive. He's called for a Jesse Jackson-style boycott of US Airways, and applied classic civil-rights rhetoric to the incident: "This is prejudice; this is obvious discrimination," the Star Tribune quoted him as saying. "I cannot change the color of my skin," he told Newsweek.
But the report on the Iranian website, which has appeared on a variety of Muslim websites worldwide, had a larger primary focus. After the imams incident, it quoted Bray as saying Muslims want "new, broad-sweeping legislation that will extract even larger financial and civil penalties for any airline that participates in racial and religious profiling."

I'm sure the imams would take great satisfaction in the sweet irony of reaping huge financial gain from the airline and then send the $$$$ to muslim terrorist front groups, but I have believed from the first day this story broke that it is part of a pre-planned campaign to weaken security measures at U.S. airports. I believe it even more now, given the current campaign by CAIR to generate multitudes of complaints from muslims traveling to mecca during this busy flying season.
Those dangers pale into insignificance compared to the dangers of "flying while Kafir."
To wit:
Imams can forget it.
This is the fruit of multiculturalism. Now we have many activists lined up to get rich on exploiting their grievances. It is exhausting.
"... through Political Correctness (the Muslim weapon of choice)..."
ACLU also uses the same technique to deconstruct our society.
I did check - sorry.
american secularists who hide behind religion and animalistic immams...
so dangerous together.......criticize either one and your guilty of a hate crime.
(what sc&^bags)
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.........criticize away!
Race hustling with a twist - religion.
That will make hijackings easier.
Toss these Imams in jail for trying to incite a panic. Add CAIR to the list of organizations providing material aid to terrorists.
Have the President present an award to the US Airways crew, and thank them for their vigilance.
thank you.
There is a simple solution, cancel all flights that connect to the Muslim holylands rather than risk lawsuits.
My suggested solution: vigilante violence. If the airline fails to remove the offenders, we hold a blanket party for them after takeoff. I'm dead serious. Why not seat yourself next to them, order a kosher meal from the flight attendant, and then casually discuss how bowing to a rock in Mecca really is idol worship. Doesn't anyone else remember how to start a bar fight? These idiots are intolerant and bigoted; its their primary weakness.
