Since I last wrote in December about our now infamous local Phoenix "political" imams, the story has developed even further. It is now entering the court system as the next venue for the victimization agenda. While in November I was chagrined by the imams" choice to trumpet to the public their own victimization in the name of all Muslims, now with the filing of their lawsuit, I found it necessary that Muslims who are not of like mind must push back publicly and break down this false assumption of a monolithic American Muslim community.
The inappropriateness I expressed about the way the imams and their handlers at CAIR (Council of American-Islamic Relations) exploited political correctness within seconds of being released from detention from their US Airways flight on November 20, 2006 now pales in comparison to the further damage which this drawn out litigious agenda is causing and will cause to American Muslims. Our only hope in salvaging what is left of our credibility is to mount a public response which will demonstrate to the American public that not all Muslims agree with these tactics and their public commentary. It is pure demagoguery to postulate that Muslims who do not toe their line must not respect civil liberties. Quite to the contrary, one can certainly be a proud American Muslim civil libertarian and yet not remotely believe in the wisdom of suing the airlines and also "John Doe" passengers for anonymously reporting their fears.

Thank you.
These F’ing Imams have been running their whiny mouths for weeks now, and I still haven’t heard even the flimsiest attempt at an explanation for why one (or was it two?) of their number demanded seat belt extenders despite being nowhere near large enough to need them? There are only two possible answers: 1) They were deliberately trying to stir up trouble on the plane, so they could claim to be “victimized”, or 2) They’re too F’ing Stupid to figure out how to work a seat belt. Which is it? Inquiring minds want to know!
Their claim has been that they always request the extensions and have never been questioned before. They claimed that they needed them to be comfortable. I’ve seen folks MUCH larger than these, on MANY flights that have never requested extensions and did not need them (including my boss, who is MUCH larger than these clowns, and I have put in over 100,000 miles with him in the air).
But they haven’t explained why they need extenders to feel comfortable when other people much larger than they are don’t. Most people feel “comfortable” knowing that their seat belts are adjusted snugly, in a way that will keep them from getting injured in the event of turbulence or other mishap — that being the purpose of seat belts and all . . . If they really had asked for them in the past, it would just show that they kept trying to create a “we’re being victimized” scenario over and over again until they finally got it.
BTW, I’ve asked this before on these threads and haven’t gotten an answer. Are any or all of the F’ing Imams US citizens? ‘Cause any who aren’t should be deported forthwith, and any who are naturalized should have their application materials scrutinized to the nth degree and if a single untrue detail is found, they should be unnaturalized and deported forthwith.
Look when some ditzy dame from Tx , a Pub state senator , invites an iman who praises the Iranian thugs for an invocation, you know PC efforts to placate Muslims is a full time job. It is time not only for so called mods to stand up but for our pols to remind people no matter their ethos, ethnicity, that they must assimilate to American values and our Const. Not the other way round.
