Oh the humanity. A conference on Islamophobia and they JUST HAPPEN to encounter "Islamophobia". What a coinky-dink.

[Gerish]

Does he really think Americans will care?

[thefactor]

In other news, I accuse Muslim terrorists of profiling airlines abound for/leaving from America.

[Redleg Duke]

Dry run busted.

[MrB]

The real definition of “Islamophobia”:

The fear of offending Muslims because they are prone to violence.

[dinodino]

Oh whatthef_ever.

Instead of being all insulted and offended by someone drawing a completely reasonable connection between him and those who have repeatedly committed acts of terrorism, maybe he should be as offended by the violent acts of terrorism themselves.

He ought to be offended by those horrible murderous bastards who murder in the name of his religion.

I know, I know, he can’t...

[Libloather]

It was wacked-out, nut job, terrorist profiling. Had nothing to do with race.

[Oratam]

Stay in the Ummah and this won’t happen.

[Mears]

“Does he really think Americans will care?”

I know I don’t.

Get use to it Dip Wad Imam!

[ladyjane]

how to deal with this growing trend of hatred and bigotry towards Islam and Muslims."

You could go back to your country of origin. Suicide is another option.

[Ouderkirk]

Don’t like it imam....take the bus.

[Steely Tom]

When did islam become a race?

[Talisker]

One of the city's most prominent Muslim leaders claims he was prevented from boarding two American Airlines flights en route to a conference on Islamophobia last week because of his appearance.

Islam openly declares it intends to conquer the world, make slaves of the conquered, turn all women into property, and kill anyone who resists them or refuses to become Muslim. They follow this up with slaughter all over the world, including in America where Muslim women are beheaded by their husbands and shot dead by their fathers for resisting Islam.

Now, a phobia is an irrational fear. But what is irrational about fearing a murderous, totalitarian organization? The very reason Islam makes use of such hideous methods of murder is to terrorize people.

So what exactly do they talk about at an "Islamophobia" conference? What aspect of fear, loathing or rejection towards this blood-drenched, murderous cult is irrational?

And why, when they try to claim civil injury, doesn't the court throw them out on their asses for contempt?

[RushingWater]

I was on a flight from Houston to Memphis and there was this lady in Moslem garb, but not face covering. Had a knap sack or something with Islamic something clearly written on it. She was putting herself in the middle of where everybody needed to walk and drawing attention to herself in a way and laying her bag out for maximum exposure. Just strange, you know.

[Mach9]

First airline that doesn’t profile these heathens I’ll boycott.

[NailInACoffin]

For the “strong horse” they sure do whine a lot.

[Paladin2]

Air travel by Islamics is haraam.

[rocksblues]

But the senior imam thinks his appearance -- a kufi, or Muslim cap, and a beard dyed bright-red with henna -- caused airline officials to single him out.

Ya Think?

[savedbygrace]

How could this involve racial discrimination when it's nearly impossible to determine what race he is?
