Two Muslim religious leaders were asked to leave a commercial airliner in Memphis - and were told it was because the pilot refused to fly with them aboard.
Masudur Rahman and another imam had already been allowed to board their Delta Connection flight from Memphis, Tennessee, to Charlotte, North Carolina before they were asked to get off the plane.
'It's racism and bias because of our religion and appearance and because of misinformation about our religion.' Mr Rahman said. 'If they understood Islam, they wouldn't do this.'

Misinformation about their religion! Oh really!!!!!!!!!
And of course, no passenger would admit to complaining because they know these low life scum will sue them.
“It seems like the two guys who were booted off the plane were headed for a conference on...(drum roll)
prejudice against Muslims.”
It is fair to conclude they purposely got themselves booted off for publicity.
I used to get upset when I saw or heard of muslims and liberals misusing the “RACISM” label.
Then I realized that by overplaying the RACE CARD they are doing a fine job of destroying its effectiveness.
Even people overly concerned about race issues have to be getting tired of hearing every issue reduced to accusations about race.
I an surprised that blacks haven’t spoken out on the issue to protect their race card “franchise”.
Captain to passengers:
This is your captain speaking. We will be over bib ladins watery grave site in 5 minutes. Will all religion of peace advocates please report to the bomb bay area.
Thank you. Allah Akhbar.
Offer a lizard and brain dish as a settlement.

I fear the Muslim clerics have more rights in this situation. The pilot will probably be out of a job very soon.
“If they understood Islam, they wouldn’t do this.”
On September 11, 2001 at about 15:45 EST, my boss walked into my cubicle, looked at the empty chair next cube over, and asked me if Christoffer had left to see his girlfriend in Calif. that morning.
He didn’t make it to the west coast.http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/memorial/people/1544.html
So, screw you, Mr Rahman. Screw your filthy death-dealing cult. And screw those two Muslim “religious leaders.”
Am I clear?
“It is fair to conclude they purposely got themselves booted off for publicity.”
The publicity could then be used to stop screening of “obvious” Muslim passengers, thereby permitting them to board with their boxcutters and mace. Seriously.
good !
Constitutionally outlaw islam
it’s a cult , not a religion

Article from the Memphis paper..
These days we are only allowed to speak the exact opposite of the truth.
If they understood Islam we'd be talking about a B52 pilot not a 737......
Too bad this does not happen more often.
“Mr Rahman said. ‘If they understood Islam, they wouldn’t do this.’”
Quite right! If America understood Islam, we would be playing Cowboys & Moslims.
I can’t believe that these were the first two Muslim men who even flew on a plane piloted by this guy. Has he had other problems with Muslim men? If not what was it about these two men that caused him to react this way. There apparently were other passengers who were also concerned. Why were the upset? Do they have a history of anit-Muslim behavior and statements? Are they the hysterical type? If not what in the behavior of the two men in question caused them to have concerns?
The media has a long long history of covering up the other side of stories like this. The attack on the El Al terminal in LA a few years ago (the fact that it was the airline of the state of Israel the staff was Jewish and most of the passengers were Jewish the attacker was a 41 year old Egyptian national and Muslim and similar to attacks in Rome and Vienna made no difference to the media who down played the terrorism angle) and , the 7 men on the flight that wondered about making repeated trips in sequence to the bathroom and standing in unison (later shown to be a dry run), the Fort Hood shooting, the attack on the military recruiter in Little Rock, the Time Square Bombing attack and many other incidents all were downplayed by the media and bigotry in tying the events to Islam was played up.
Everybody applauds the decision but rabble. It’s just impolitic to say so.
I still don’t get why they were removed. The pilot was afraid of traditional garb? Were security officials able to research the ideological positions of the two men after they learned they were scholars; and then relay that info to the captain?
Absent more data, the airline is going to have to settle out of court because they have no chance of winning.
Unfortunately.
