"To date, we continue to be defamed and feel anxiety every time we fly," Didmar Faja said today. "We are respected community leaders and this incident has caused us extreme harm." Omar T. Mohammedi, whose New York City law firm is representing the imams, said this is not the first case against a U.S. airline for discrimination and it won't be the last.

These people are SCUM. They are trying to wreck the security system of the USA and make it easier for terrorists to commit mass murder. Post-9/11 we should have passed a law making it nearly impossible to file or win such lawsuits..... the last thing we need is for every airline and security staffer to be worrying about getting sued rather than about protecting all of us.

I expected this kind of "push back" from terrorist-lovers and ACLU-types, I'm actually surprised there hasn't been more such legal wrangling given the tort system we have and the John Edwards types ruining our nation. This case should be put down hard, but probably won't be...... these imams clearly behaved in a manner that raised serious questions about their motives and threat-potential. They were most likely setting us all up for just this kind of b.s. lawsuit.

"This case should be put down hard, but probably won't be..."

It's not in the best, self-serving interests of lawyers and judges to limit law suits. I think your above prediction is an accurate one.

"We are respected community leaders and this incident has caused us extreme harm."

I'm not aware of anyone who respects them...which would make them very poor leaders. Perhaps the harm derived from being exposed for what they are...scam artists.

"every time we fly,"

Allah is not happy, they are no to respect the vain and modern. Allah would never fly.
