Which of the hijackers were Christians or Jews? BTW, bigoted is not the same, as racist but don't let that stop you.

None of the three muslims who make jokes in the coffee shop were hijackers either. Bigotry (including racist bigotry) should never acceptible in American (though it seems to be the norm here on Free Republic).

Besides if a waitress were giving me strange looks because I were wearing a headdress, I would be pissed off too. Thirty years ago I had just gotten off six years of active duty in Naval Aviation and one cold night I stopped for coffee in the south (wearing my leather flight jacket) and a bigoted waitress swore at me because I had a (light) beard. To the establishment's credit, a young waitress came over and apologized and poured me my coffee. That's what I mean when I say there are bigots everywhere and I see no reason to put up with them on the grounds it's okay to be a bigot if we do it for security.

Eunice Stone is NOT a " waitress ". She is, in point of fact, a nurse, who was sitting next to the three stooges and did NOT serve them, in any way, shape, manner, or form.

The Muslims are caucasoids, so it can't be racist, for another caucasoid to call the police on them. They aren't Jews, so, even though Arabs are Semites ( and two of the stooges are of Pakistani heritage, which also makes them caucasoids ; but NOT Semites ! ) , the phrase " anti-Semite " is only conferred on Jew hating slanders.

Now, words have specific meanings. You can't change the meanings, just so they can fit neatly into your argument. Facts ARE facts, whether you like them or not, and you are putting words into Eunice's mouth, as well as impugning her actions, with your OWN suppositions. That doesn't hold water.

Making threats against people is a serious crime. I'd like to know what you would say if someone had failed to report a real threat because they thought it was a joke or because they didn't want to seem bigoted. PC gone mad.
