The "flying imams' " federal lawsuit, filed this week in Minneapolis, has made headlines around the country. The imams are demanding unspecified damages from US Airways and the Metropolitan Airports Commission, both with deep pockets. But their suit includes other defendants, as yet unnamed. These people, unaffiliated with the airline industry or government, are among the imams' most vulnerable targets.
Recall the November 2006 incident that gave rise to the suit. The imams engaged in a variety of suspicious behaviors while boarding a US Airways flight, according to the airport police report. Some prayed loudly in the gate area, spoke angrily about the United States and Saddam, switched seats and sat in the 9/11 hijackers' configuration, and unnecessarily requested seatbelt extenders that could be used as weapons, according to witness reports and US Airways spokeswoman Andrea Rader.
After extensive consultations, the pilot asked authorities to remove the imams for questioning, which they did, releasing them later that day.
"The pilot did what he had to do," passenger Rita Snelson of Maplewood told the Star Tribune. "I told the airline afterward, 'Thank you for watching over us.' "
The imams' lawsuit, however, asserts that US Airways and the MAC acted solely out of religious and ethnic discrimination. It includes 17 separate counts.
It also rehearses a catalogue of harms allegedly suffered by the imams, including fear, depression, mental pain and financial injury. They have not only endured exhaustion, humiliation and ridicule, but also have lost sleep and developed anxiety about flying.

agree
However, this case will be an important indicator as to whether we have a prayer of winning the W.O.T. If our legal system lets these a$$wipes walk all over us, we're finished (until something more serious than 9-11 happens).
We're just not killing enough of them. No joke, I'm serious. It's the only thing these barbarians understand.
I agree with you...
AMEN!
Not mentioned is that the lead provacateur was on cellphone continuously relaying developments and receiving instructions from CAIR.

Maybe they can change jobs. I understand being a cabbie and not driving passengers carrying alcohol or working the checkout at Target and not scanning the pepperoni pizzas are popular jobs for Muslims in Minneapolis.
That is hardly grounds for a defamation suit.
The problem is that the John Does will have to fight their way out of the allegations anyway. Unless you have been named to a suit like this, you have no idea how perverse the system is. And there is no assurance of ever getting out unscathed. Case in point? Scooter Libby!

Oooops... Forgot.
What are these terrorist bastards doing in our country in the first place?
Our liberal fifth column brings them here, empowers them, and will supply the lawyers to enrich them, all at the expense of the US taxpayer. And, for our pains, these SOBS will pull off some fresh atrocity in the near future.
The enemy is within the gates.
Sounds like a solid foundation for a countersuit --- using the same basis and argument as the original suit.
After all, non-muslims have not been known to repeatedly intimidate airliners in the air, or airline passengers generally...
"I think they planned this entire event in the hope that they would be removed from the airplane"
If I recall they did NOT even have luggage for the trip. It was just an attempt to make a lawsuit... and maybe also do a dry run test.
Hey, why not get paid for their dry run?
These SOBs need to be slapped down by a jury. Unfortunately, since they're in Minnesota, they'll probably get their butts kissed.
Sorry Muzzies:
In my house, in order to have "Mental Pain" One MUST have a brain...
Next.....
One of these days, Whorealdo is going to be little too close to the action of these whackos and then it will be interesting to see if he defends them.
Yup! The group founded by Hamas Cair is using lawsuits to terrorize innocent passengers afraid for their lives from the Islamists.
