Ragheads Kicked Off Of Phoenix - Bound Flight...

A passenger raised concerns about the imams three of whom said their normal evening prayers in the airport terminal before boarding the Phoenix-bound plane, according to one through a note passed to a flight attendant, according to Andrea Rader, a spokeswoman for US Airways. "We are concerned that crew members, passengers and security personnel may have succumbed to fear and prejudice based on stereotyping of Muslims and Islam," Nihad Awad, the council's executive director, said in a news release. The six were returning from a conference in Minneapolis of the North American Imams Federation, said Omar Shahin of Phoenix, president of the group. "They took us off the plane, humiliated us in a very disrespectful way," Shahin said after the incident. Shahin said Tuesday that three members of the group prayed in the terminal before the six boarded the plane. They entered individually, except for one member who is blind and needed to be guided, Shahin said. Once on the plane, the six did not sit together, he said. "We did nothing" on the plane, Shahin said. The six were among passengers who boarded Flight 300, bound for Phoenix, around 6:30 p.m. Monday, airport spokesman Pat Hogan said. Police were called after the captain and airport security workers asked the men to leave the plane and the men refused, Rader said. Shahin said no one asked the six to leave until police arrived, when the group complied. "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," council spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said. Hooper said the meeting drew about 150 imams from all over the country, and that those attending included Rep.-elect Keith Ellison, D-Minn., who just became the first Muslim elected to Congress. Shahin said they went as far as notifying police and the FBI about their meeting in advance. Shahin expressed frustration that despite extensive efforts by him and other Muslim leaders since even before the Sept. 11 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. Shahin said the group spent the night at the home of a local imam and was waiting for a phone call Tuesday from US Airways. Hooper said US Airways refused to put the men on another flight. The airline did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment on that aspect Tuesday. The other passengers on the flight, which was carrying 141 passengers and five crew members, were re-screened for boarding, Rader said. The plane took off about three hours after the men were removed. / |

But they need to understand that they should be mad at the Islamic Terrorists who created the level of fear that exists and at Islamic religious leaders who refuse to adamantly condemn terrorism and a "man in the street" Muslims who cheered and celebrated after 9/11. They are the ones who created among the average Joe in the US the belief that Muslims should be viewed with suspicion. Every once in a while one actually sees an intelligent, sensible, reasoned viewpoint expressed on a Usenet newsgroup . . . |

They didn't pray in public in the departure lounge Unfortunately, profiling seems to be extremely effective in combatting and preventing terrorist attacks. And it preventing innocent bystanders from excercising their constitutional right to travel. It wasnt exactly blonde haired blue eyed swedish flight attendants that blew up all those bombs in past attacks. If you put the entire human race to death - starting with you - there will never again be a single terrorist incident, or crime of any other kind. You _must_ support this, or admit you are a racist (and therefore, by definition, mentally retarded) hypocrite. You _must_ immediately kill yourself to prevent yourself from ever committing a crime, or admit you are a racist (and therefore, by definition, mentally retarded) hypocrite. Any "security measure" that affects more innocents than criminals is counterproductive. It is part of the problem. *You* are part of the problem. -- "What is the first law?" "To Protect."

Muslims could be a little more sensitive to the death and suffering their brothers have inflicted on others worldwide and not do things to draw attention to themselves. Maybe Christians and Jews can set the example, and the Muslims will follow. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

El Al Israel Airlines and the the Israeli Airports Authority seem to disagree with you. They profile, and profile VERY aggressively - which is why they've had no "incidents" for quite a few years now...we here in the US should emulate them. -- Best Greg |
