The trial of the infamous flying imams is in the discovery phase, and Douglas Bass has a report from the courtroom, where the attorney for the imams (a CAIR-NY operative) is demanding that US Airways divulge information on airline security procedures.
Yes, really: Flying Imams - Dont Make Us, Your Honor, Make Them!
Omar Mohammedi, attorney for the imams, and President of the Board of Directors for the New York Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, went first. His motion was for the judge, Arthur Boylan, to compel US Airways to divulge its training manuals, and information on its security procedures, so that they could show that the security procedures were not followed down to the last jot and tittle when the imams were removed from US Airways Flight 300 on November 20, 2006.
Those of you who are following this case closely might be thinking Arthur Boylan? What happened to Ann Montgomery? The PACER database reports that Ann Montgomery is the presiding judge, and Arthur Boylan is a referral judge. Ann Montgomery will still be the judge at the trial in 2009.
When I realized what Mohammedi was asking for, I was briefly dazed, as I heard the sound in my minds ear of a thousand bloggers screaming something to the effect of Ok, let me get this straight. A group of imams led by a fundraiser for a Muslim charity (the Holy Land Foundation) which was shut down by the Treasury Department for its connections to Hamas, is asking a judge to compel an airline to divulge its security procedures. And everyones OK with that?!?
We can’t live with these people.
The United States Constitution and the Koran are mutually exclusive.
Remember the old saying? “Just say no.” Let them suck wind.
Love that GIF!!!
How would that help anything? We know exactly how we would get treated. That's not even part of the equation.
legally, I’m sure you’re right. This case is so absurd I wanted to think about what would happen if the situation was reversed.
I have not heard anything about this case in the MSM, speaking of another aspect of the case. Are they not covering it?
I never go around MSM so I wouldn’t know.
