Six men were removed from an airplane at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Monday evening.
Sources say the men, of Middle Eastern ethnicity, behaved in a manner that caused the crew to be concerned.
The men were taken off the plane after it returned to the gate and are being questioned by authorities.
The remaining passengers were also taken off the flight, U.S. Airways flight 300, bound for Phoenix.
Those passengers are being re-screened for boarding.
There were 170 passengers on board the plane, which is a Boeing 757.

"Imams execute successful Jihad plan in US Airport"
Dec 1 2006 1:47PM
http://www.bismarckmandanblog.com
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Recent headlines focused on a group of six Muslim imams who boarded a US Airways flight, moved from their assigned seats to seats covering the exits of the plane, requested seat belt extensions they didn't need and stowed them under their seats, and loudly chanted to Allah while criticizing America. When they were removed from the plane, they immediately began criticizing everyone in sight for racial profiling. Most stories left out the fact that the passengers on board cheered when these people were removed from the plane. In my opinion, the imams never intended for the plane to leave the terminal.
The warriors of Islam have discovered a far more effective weapon than a sword, an RPG, or a broadcast beheading. It's the political correct movement of the West, which will prove to be our ultimate undoing."

"Muslim pilgrims urged to complain"
By Audrey Hudson
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
December 13, 2006
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), citing what it called the "airport profiling" of six imams removed from a recent flight, yesterday said Muslims traveling this month to the holy site in Saudi Arabia need to be aware of their rights."
Dang Methodists at it again :)
They are despicable.
There has got to be some kind of penalty associated with this disruptive behavior. I had much rather the flight crew be concerned with the saftey of the aircraft than handling six ME miscreants.
They are playing with us, in our own country (or is it their country, too in this age of globalization), and we are stupid enough to allow it.

"From a Muslim outlook, imams have missed the point on flight behavior"
December 11, 2006
M. Zuhdi Jasser
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The first thing one must understand about this whole hullabaloo with the Muslim imams taken off a Phoenix-bound plane in Minneapolis is that it most definitely was not about the right to prayer or freedom of worship.
And much as the imams and their handlers may try, it is certainly not about victimization.
But because the case of the six imams (five from the Valley) and US Airways Flight 300 has taken on a life of its own, it would be helpful to look and see what lessons can be gleaned from this story."

"Was the Flying Imam incident staged in order to get anti-profiling legislation passed?"
SNIPPET: "I have been saying for some time now that the Flying Imam rage incident was staged to help garner support for anti-profiling legislation. Just before the Flying Imams incident happened I noted that Nancy Pelosi had come out in favor of such legislation, and suggested here and here in late November that a push for such legislation was what was behind the incident."
