Ibrahim Hooper,

Nope.

If Ibrahim Hooper is their buddy, nothing out of their mouths is worth spit.

Now see Delta made a big mistake here.

Toss them at 50,000 feet next time. Then they can’t talk about it.

I bet they didn’t get the TSA rub down either.

Well FAA FAR Part 121 rules are clear the PIC has the final say on the entire flight, if it goes and who flies.

and it was .......GUTSY!

Get a clue Muslim travelers. If you want to be accepted & play by our rules, perhaps a wardrobe change for travel might be the way to go?

In light of the killing of UBL and the direct threats made against America in retaliation for that death, you’d think it just might have occurred to these “religious leaders” - one a professor - to dress a little differently that day. A turban??? Really???

It did occur to them. They were throwing it in our face.

I thought Hooper was the mouth piece for CAIR.

And NY cabbies won’t carry any one who smells of booze...what goes around, comes around..the shoe bomber made it through security.

Once they (the Muslims) clean op the crap that goes on in the name of their religion, they should be able to join the civilized world. Not until.

The offended parties would show up in court wearing suit and tie with crucifixes and support our troops ribbons on their lapels. The jury would be overwhelmed by their tales
of strife and struggle to overcome the constant racism so
prevalent in society yada yada yada....... no sarcasm

was dressed in Arab garb, including traditional headgear.

Arabs don't wear turbans. Traditional Arab headgear is a kaffiyeh namely a cloth (of different pattern marking the tribe of the wearer) bound with a rope to keep it in place)

Indian non-Moslems wear turbans which can be of different kinds from the Sikh (3 kinds) to Rajput to Maratha

Rahman dressed in "traditional Indian clothing" doesn't tell me anything, for India is truly a continent with multiple "countries", cultures and "nations" -- the traditional wear of a man from Keral would be a long loose shirt made from cotton with a sarong-like ankle-length white cotton cloth with a border. No hat or turban

A Tamilian would wear a shorter "lungi" (that's the cloth over the legs

A person from North-Central india would wear a dhoti,or for formal occasions a Nehru/Chinese-type jacket, while a Moslem from North and North-West India and from Pakistan would wear a Pathani (a long loose shirt and baggy pajamas under it).
