6 Imams Will Sue US Airways (The Flyin' Imams!!)
StarTribune ^ | 3/12/07 | AP

Posted on 03/12/2007 3:08:46 PM PDT by ButThreeLeftsDo

Six Islamic leaders who were removed from a US Airways flight say they'll sue the airline for discrimination. The Council on American-Islamic Relations says it will provide details on the lawsuit tomorrow at a Washington news conference.

Six imams returning to Phoenix from a religious conference in November were taken off a plane in Minneapolis, handcuffed, and questioned.

They had prayed in the airport before the flight, and after they boarded, a passenger who considered them suspicious passed a note to a flight attendant.

The lawyers bankrolled by CAIR will make sure the jury is stacked with liberals.

Or they could have the taxpayer provide for all of their suite-related costs. If they file a civil rights suit, the Federal govt., if it deems the case worthy of legal action, will pursue the airline in court with a vengeance and a bottomless pile of money.

Its already killed the UK. They bend over anytime the muslims complain about anything. Like removing piggy banks from banks because muslims were offended as usual.

Good-because we're going to hear other passengers on the stand tell us that these guys were acting "suspicous" and doing the things they were accused of.
And then US Airways Attorney is going to point out that the captain was well within his authority in throwing them off of the plane-as captain he is in absolute and complete control of his aircraft.

Put these camel humpers on the stand under oath.

Which means..Nothing.

And will they be swearing that oath on the book that teaches that lying to the Infidel is a virtue?

I was thinking the same thing!

I just hope US Air doesn't settle with these clowns because they aren't going away.

I think they would not fly on a plane with adult beverages on board or ham sandwiches. Evidently, money is more important that following their religious beliefs like the Muslim taxi drivers in who refuse to pick up passengers carrying booze home from the airport.

Go Figure.

barratry (bàr´e-trê) noun
plural barratries
1. Law. The offense of persistently instigating lawsuits, typically groundless ones.
2. An unlawful breach of duty on the part of a ship's master or crew resulting in injury to the ship's owner: "Gross misconduct of the officers is . . . barratry" (Tom Clancy).
3. Sale or purchase of positions in church or state.
[Middle English barratrie, the sale of church offices, from Old French baraterie, deception, malversation, from barater, to cheat. See barrator.]
- bar´ratrous (-tres) adjective
- bar´ratrously adverb


There's another word ... malversation, (misconduct in public office -- see nifonging).

Muslims are INSTRUCTED they may lie under ANY circumstances to an infidel - to save their own life or to further the cause of Islam...

Oh' I know that.

I thinking a decent prosecutor would use that nugget to his advantage.

Quote that part of the Koran and ask them if they believe it.

That would be interesting.

Probably cause a cartoon like response.

Great news.

Put these camel humpers on the stand under oath.

See what they were really up to.

Not only that, use the discovery process to dig up all the dirt on CAIR and its links to terrorism. Against these s.o.b.s, the best defense is a ferocious offense.

these six should be tossed out of the back of a C-130 in flight somewhere over a large body of water

"How long before all the political correctness is tossed - and we start responding to the bastards in a manner they have earned?"

At least not until we are bold enough to say explicitly what they have earned.

Perhaps like you, I find myself ratcheting back. I guess I don't want to be banned more than I want to spell it out.

Shame on me.

You could see that coming a mile away! Six Jive Muslims do everything they can to look suspicious, get thrown off and then sue after raising hell in all the media that will hear them. I hope the court sees through this obvious ploy and that the Airline does not cave.

An attempt to intimidate airlines while planning future incidents. I hope US Airlines doesn't settle, I'd like to be on that jury.

Just wear a burka if you are called, and you will be assured a seat on the jury :)
