Tell em Newt.

The next President of the United States.

[Vigilanteman]

Any non-Muslim joking about a hijacking would have the book thrown at them. That is exactly what these six were doing. Gingrich is right.

If the government won't prosecute them cruminally, then US Air should file a civil suit for the cost of disruption. Keep these sonzabeeches so occupied defending themselves that they won't have time to think about trolling for another lawsuit.

"Those six people should have been arrested and prosecuted for pretending to be terrorists," Gingrich said.

No Newt. They should have been arrested for Interfering With A Flight Crew.

That's a felony.

And how do you know they were pretending to be terrorists? That's a fact not yet in evidence.

Their suspicious behavior apparently consisted of reports that they had prayed in Arabic and that they were not sitting together but had walked around to talk to each other.

Is this UPI or Al Jazeera? It is unreal the facts they left out.

They changed seats. They ordered seat belt extendeders for 170 lb men. They shouted "Allah" in the boarding area every time a passengers name was called. They discussed Al Queda and Saddam Hussein favorably--in English--for others to clearly hear them. They sat in different seats than the ones they were assigned, in an almost identical pattern to the 9/11 hijackers.

Are there Americans who work for UPI? Did they not see the towers fall on 9/11? Do they not understand that when they advocate for Islam, they are putting other Americans in danger?

It's time that some serious laws passed against this nonsense, and security cameras installed to record such incidents.

[sageb1]

Newt is right. It was a well-thought out deliberate provocation. The only thing they didn't count on was the fact we're smarter than they are.

Why does the link under Republican in this sentence from the article, " Manchester Republican City Committee Christmas dinner", go to McCain's "Straight Talk" website?

[SeeSalt]

"Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told an audience in New Hampshire Muslim clerics pulled off a plane for praying should have been charged criminally." He is the man! And the next President of the USA!

[TomGuy]

The passengers need to start filing class action suits specifically against the perps like these six who intentionally disrupt flights.

[ml/nj]

Imams should have been arrested

Amen. (I said the same thing on a couple of the Flying Imams threads shortly after their stunt.)

"Those six people should have been arrested and prosecuted for pretending to be terrorists," Gingrich said.

We should have pretended to stuff them with pork and pretended to lock them up in a pig sty.

[etradervic]

If they are not citizens, they should be deported.

[freeangel]

The kooky attorney for the imams was on FOX the other day ranting that their behaviors on the plane were not suspicious and that the actions taken were simply racist profiling trying to take away their right to free speech. I wonder how he would feel about gun carrying people(with permits, nat) circling mosques and chanting allah is satan.

[Capt. Tom]

We might have to change that old saw that freedom of speech doesn't allow you to cry fire in a crowded movie theater to; "Freedom of speech doesn't alow you to cry "Allah" on a crowded airplane". - tom

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Forget arrested, they should have been deported.

[madison10]

AMEN. Going after the passengers for flagging the imams and airline employees for doing their jobs is crazy. Then again, that's what PC is anyway.

[FairOpinion]

Newt 2008!
