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 - Don’t 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 mind’s 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 everyone’s OK with that?!?”
oh I better not comment...
“....security procedures were not followed down to the last jot and tittle....”
Jot and tittle ??
They are guests, they are not allowed to make demands, sit down and shut the F up...any questions!!!!
Don’t worry the Democrats will see that they get the security information they requested and more. After all we’re the bad guys.
It is simple the court will release the security procedures as they are releasing the terrorist killers held in jail.
So if they are released then they should be released in the city of the judge.
How do you say .44 Magnum in Arabic?
Imams ask magistrate for 10 years of bias complaints against US Airways ("Flyin' Imams!!)
Me either. In fact my blood is boiling...I got to take a break.
A sight for sore eyes. Thanks.
I’m with all of you on taking a break.
But I think part of discovery in the case should be to see the treatment we would receive in Saudi Arabia or Yemen for something similar. Talk about what would happen if groups of Christian ministers were on a plane in Saudi, got up and down, switched seats, wailed out prayers to Jesus, and see what the reaction would be in an Islamic society. That type of info. should be in the court record.
Strange thing..
I favor a .22 short for these guys.
Quietly. The news stories about them have died out before, they can do so again.
For Good.
Jot being the modern version of the Greek letter 'iota' which denotes the smallest piece of an alphabet.
Tittle being the little dot over the 'j' and the 'i'.
If a leftist we lose!
Wow! Thanks for the definitions. I’m amazed I’ve never come across these words before.
I guess you’re never too old to learn.
