Imams Ejected From Airliner - Ruggedtouch - 11-24-2006
<i>Oh, the Humanity</i>! - Six Imams get the kafir bums rush.
Be prepared for some more world class seething along with claims of Islamophobia™ on this one. Doug Hooper (representing the jihadis in suits) - CAIR - calls it "anti-Muslim hysteria." I’m inclined to think this is a deeply held Western value called “survival instinct”. 6 imams removed from Twin Cities flight
Quote:MINNEAPOLIS - Six Muslim imams were removed from a US Airways flight at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on Monday and questioned by police for several hours before being released, a leader of the group said.
The six were among passengers who boarded Flight 300, bound for Phoenix, around 6:30 p.m., airport spokesman Pat Hogan said.
A passenger initially raised concerns about the group through a note passed to a flight attendant, according to Andrea Rader, a spokeswoman for US Airways. She said police were called after the captain and airport security workers asked the men to leave the plane and the men refused.
"They took us off the plane, humiliated us in a very disrespectful way," said Omar Shahin, of Phoenix.
"I never felt bad in my life like that," he said. "I never. Six imams. Six leaders in this country. Six scholars in handcuffs. It's terrible."
<b><i>Oh, the Humanity!</i></b>
Quote:Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, expressed anger at the detentions.
"CAIR will be filing a complaint with relevant authorities in the morning over the treatment of the imams to determine whether the incident was caused by anti-Muslim hysteria by the passengers and/or the airline crew," Hooper said. "Because, unfortunately, this is a growing problem of singling out Muslims or people perceived to be Muslims at airports, and it's one that we've been addressing for some time."
Shahin expressed frustration that — despite extensive efforts by him and other Muslim leaders since even before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks — so many Americans know so little about Islam.
"If up to now they don't know about prayers, this is a real problem," he said.
There is a real problem here and it’s not about prayers. It’s about a standard of behavior that your co-religionists seem unable to fathom. Your nineteen co-religionist fiends who murdered us en masse five years ago dutifully said their prayers too.
So let’s consider this for a moment. As the six peaceful inner strugglers would have us believe it, this entire episode is nothing more than Islamophobia™ on the part of the kafir. Or is it?
Let’s examine the questionable behavior displayed on the part of the poor, oppressed imams who just assume that the dhimmis will accommodate their every wish:
I guess that nowadays, cursing the American kafir
(you know – the cursed Americans who allow these seditious snakes to spread their message of hate and intolerance from within our nation while exploiting the very freedoms they would strip away if given the opportunity), is part of the standard Islamic evening prayer routine.
Quote:Detailed accounts of the incident varied. Witnesses, including a number of passengers and US Airways employees, said <b>they heard some of the men making anti-American remarks and chanting “Allah,”</b> first as they boarded the plane and then when led off, Mr. Hogan said.
Hey – call me Islamophobic, but gee whiz, how on Earth could anyone mistake this innocuous behavior for a threat to ones personal security? May Allah curse these islamophobic™ American infidels for their ignorance!
Quote:Others said the men behaved strangely once on board, with some asking for seat belt extensions, the police report said. “I did not see they actually needed them,” one flight attendant wrote in a statement given to the police. “They were not overweight.”
Dr. Shahin disagreed, saying the extensions were necessary for their “big bodies.”
In another statement, a gate agent said some of the imams had been praying in Arabic in the gate area. “I was suspicious by the way they were praying very loud,” the agent said.
