Six imams removed from a U.S. Airways plane said they would not sue the passengers whose concerns led them to being kicked off the flight.
In federal court Tuesday, the attorney for the imams said, "We don't contemplate naming any private passenger as a defendant."
After the November flight, the imams sued the airport, the airline and 'John Does,' which left open the possibility of suing anonymous passengers.
The attorney for one of the passengers says the imams' offer comes only as congress is about to give immunity to those reporting suspicious behavior.
"The offer is only made after congress passes the immunity provision with the threat of assessing fees and costs against parties suing those making reports in good faith," Gerry Nolting said.
U.S. Airways and the Minneapolis- St. Paul airport will ask a judge to dismiss the imams' lawsuit next month.
I wonder if last week’s news about the moslem princesses being removed from a flight in Italy had any role in this?. It was reported that the other British Airways passengers, who were held on the runway for 3-4 hours because the princesses refused to sit by non-moslem men, cheered the decision to eject them and jeered the royal party as they deplaned. Maybe they will begin to get the message that the West is getting tired of this crap.
“Gee...thats mighty white of them....”
I think they would be more annoyed if we said it was very Christian of them.
They should be made to wear burkhas in the heat of GITMO.
After a few days, they would be not shouting to Allah, but for “Right Guard”.
Oh, one can dream.
I am still waiting for the US Attorney investigation and prosecution of the 6 imams for conspiracy and carrying out disruption of air travel.
You and me both.......
I am waiting for the passengers to sue the flying imams for pain and suffering.
Yeah, but at least the Saudi’s will keep American oil men and defense contractors happy.
The PASSENGERS should SUE the Flying Imams for stress!
Are the Imams still allowed to fly? A judge today told that dr. who called in a bomb threat because he was going to miss his plane, that he cannot fly or take a plane or a but...he must drive a car with another person!! HOORAY for this judge!
What a great and loving people, with a peaceful religion.
Next time, let them use their bobsled.
Your saying you want "Judge Judy" to hear their case? :)
Now that Congress is set to possibly pass the “John Doe” bill that prohibits this kind of suit, they know that they overreached and are busy backpedaling.
Exactly.
Speaking of losing suits, just wait until they realize that their actual suits were lost in their lost baggage|. Another Jihad, and Fatwa/
“publicly spanked.....by a woman”
by a woman.....eating a pork chop.
-—anyone wanna add anything to that?
Look at this way...if they go out to sue the passengers...the case goes on in court for years...with counter-suits very likely...and the public keenly aware of this entire mess. The passengers will explain what they saw, on the stand, and it will be public record...which makes the Islamic mission of repeating 9-11 more difficult. They are likely very shocked at how quick the passengers reacted and the airline which quickly got them off. There wasn’t going to be much of a chance to test the system...this was a lousy failure.
Translation: They were caught red handed being provacative and knew the counter suite for malicious suit would be successful.
Rule 11 sanctions. Rare but real.
