You simply have to love these guys. They back the what is, in fact, a violent religion. Sure, Christians, Jews, and other religions can be violent, but none of them are fighting for world domination in the name of their religion. It wasn't members of those religions who have hijacked airlines, killed passengers, blown planes up, committed suicide bombings, destroyed hotels, embassies, disco's, and, oh yes, the World Trade Towers, among others.
A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today called for congressional hearings on religious and ethnic profiling at airports after six Imams, or Muslim religious leaders, were removed from a domestic flight yesterday in Minnesota.
The Imams were taken off a US Airways flight at Minneapolis- St. Paul International Airport Monday night because of alleged "suspicious activity." The Imams, who were handcuffed and questioned for several hours by authorities before being released, told the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) they suspect the activity cited by authorities was the performance of normal evening prayers offered by members of the group in the airport before boarding the flight.
They can get over it. In this post 9/11 world, when this happens
The passenger thought the imams — who were speaking in Arabic and English — had made anti-U.S. statements before boarding and "made similar statements while boarding," said Russ Knocke, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security.
Once on board, Knocke said, the six split up into groups of two and did not sit in their assigned seats.
Don't know about you, but that would cause me some concern.
So, all those pansy ass terrorist supporters out there can piss off. Try having an issue with those who follow the "religion of peace" for a change.
Howie at the Jawa Report has much more, as does Hot Air.
More:
Little Green Footballs points out that the spokesman for the humilated Imam's, Omar Shahin, is affiliated with an organization that has had their assets frozen by the Justice Department for supporting Hamas.
Oh, and don't forget Nancy Pelosi has announced her intention to “correct the Patriot Act” and wants to criminalize scrutiny of Muslims at airports and elsewhere.
I wonder when the ACLU will chime in and declare the Imam's in the wrong for praying in a public, government funded, area.
And you know what? Not ONE word from these “religious leaders” denouncing terrorism in any form. Not one.
Wow, you have such an amazing insight into religion!
Oh no wait, you don’t.
Ogre, we will never hear them denounce terrorism. It is part and parcell of their religion.
Andy, thanks for dropping by and offering nothing.
