Ahh, the tolerance, joy, and empathy of the wonderful Muslims strikes again.

It’s OK. I might have missed it if Sky Pilot hadn’t posted it tonight.

Reminds of that Star Trek episode, Friday Child I think, where McCoy gets an earful from some space princess who throws a hissy fit because he was trying to treat her for a burn because no lowly male could touch a royal. (/geek)

Inasmuch as they were "escorted off the plane" (read: tossed out on their ear), it appears that people are *already* getting fed up with supinely caving in to Islamic "temper tantrums". Expect more of this as time goes by, and Islamic attitudes fail to adjust...

The way it looks, not until the Muslims are on their front porch with a saber.

two male passengers in the entourage got up

The ragheads are lucky they were on a British plane and not an American one.

Stupid towel heads would have gotten thrown a beating at a minimum.

It sounds like they have. It’s about time the rest of the world showed the balls to give them the heave ho.

WHOO HOO!!!!!

Way to go!!!

Sadly, I see retaliation in the future. Some sort of terrorist attack. We need to clamp down hard on that, too.

One of the royal families of the richest Arab countries flying business class...and complained? Three hours was way to long to settle this dispute!

It sounds like they need to buy a few extra seats next time.

Once I was flying from USA to Europe and a Jewish passenger refused to sit next to a gentile. The captain made an announcement and another Jew swapped seats with the gentile.

I later asked a Jewish friend and he told me he knew of no Jewish law forbidding Jews from sitting next to gentiles on a plane.

Is this anything like "Snakes on a Place?"

Is there a reason they don't want to travel on their own national airline?

Some people are just a-holes. I would not want to change my seat just to accommodate some shmuck like this. But I wouldn't want to sit next to him for eight freaking hours either.

She should have purchased all the seats in her area, then she wouldn’t have to sit next to any males.

Look, I might get flamed for this, but can we not respect their culture? How hard would that be? You closed-minded bigots (directed to the Western World).

Do I really need the /s?

The people are fed up but governments allow this crap to continue, and that’s why it does.
