Are they not thinking they're going to be offended?
Oh wait... Christians and Jews don't chop off heads when they get offended. Now I get it.
Iran, whose President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has vowed “to wipe Israel off the map.”
Looks like he’s got BMI doing his dirty work for him!
So I take it that the flights to Ireland no longer show Ulster?
Do the flights to Canada show Quebec as a separate nation?
WOW
Wow. Candy-butt wussiness is now the acme of political and social virtue.
Islam is a cultural cancer.
Islam is winning the jihad.
By all means lets not offend the Muslims.
California offends me. Take that one off the map, too.
If I were Israel, BMI wouldn’t ever be landing in Israel ever again.
Did U.K. airline cater to Muslims by wiping Israel off map?

Question: When is the insanity going to end???
‘British airline BMI has apologised after in-flight maps on its London-Tel Aviv service did not identify Israel.
The moving maps marked Islamic holy sites but showed only the city of Haifa in Israel, identified by its Arabic name, Khefa.
Israeli officials accused BMI of trying to “hide the existence of Israel”.
But BMI said it was a technical error - the maps had not been changed since the planes were taken over from a former airline which flew to the Middle East.
“If BMI had any political agenda in order not to anger neighbouring countries, it would not have invested so much in the Tel Aviv line,” AFP news agency quoted a spokesman as saying.
BMED, which was taken over by BMI in 2007, had flown from the UK to many Muslim countries in the Middle East and so the maps had pointed out sites which were relevant to passengers.
A BMI spokesman told the BBC the maps should have been deactivated before the planes were deployed on the new route but “due to a technical error this did not take place”.’
