Muslims protest with prayer at Sea-Tac Airport [Planning major protest in Wash. DC on Monday]

Six Seattle-area Muslims gathered in prayer Friday in front of a US Airways ticket counter at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to protest the removal of six imams from a flight in Minneapolis earlier this week.

The prayer lasted eight minutes without incident.

"We are asserting the right of Muslims to be free of fear, free of apprehension, to take an equal seat at the table," said Jafar Siddiqui, a member of American Muslims of Puget Sound.

Afterward, airport patron Frank Meyers, of San Jose, Calif., accused airport terminal managers of being "politically correct" by allowing the prayer service to block a public elevator.

"We're in a war, sir," he told an airport terminal manager. "We're in a war against terrorism. Do you have any concept of that?"

The imams were removed from the flight to Phoenix on Monday night after three of them said their usual evening prayers in the terminal in Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport before boarding, said Omar Shahin, president of the North American Imams Federation, who was one of the passengers removed.

According to a police report, a US Airways manager said three of the men had one-way tickets and none checked baggage...

A national Muslim group has planned a much larger pray-in for Monday morning at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C.

I wish I had the money to send them all a honey-baked ham for Christmas. They have so much love in their hearts.

America: Love it or leave it!

To many, it's love it or weaken it.

Next time I fly, I plan to sing hymns in the terminal if I see any muslims praying. Onward Christian Soldiers springs to mind for the first hymn.

How about Battle Hymn of the Republic

"We are asserting the right of Muslims to be free of fear, free of apprehension, to take an equal seat at the table," said Jafar Siddiqui, a member of American Muslims of Puget Sound.

Oh yeah, in order to be treated equally, you have to disrupt travel and disrespect others by having a large prayer service at the airport.

Sheesh, if you don't respect yourself, at least show a little respect for God by not dragging him through an airport.

BULL S*** ,
I think these dammed people staged the incident

[kalee]

And we are asserting our rights to be fly without fear and apprehension and to decide who will sit at the table.
So my advice is get over it, condemn those among you doing this evil and stop them, then assimilate and we'll talk.

[He Rides A White Horse]

Islam is incompatible with Judeo-Christian/Western/Human Civilization and we will either cotton on to that fact or will die from our ignorance of it.

...and after the above, the rest of the world will find that they are 'incompatible' as well. Some people think they are safe playing nice-nice. Smiling a bit at their own cleverness, thinking that by 'helping' them build a nuclear weapon, they'll be safe from scourging at the hand of Islamofascists. They think the Muslims will remember their 'help and kindness' and live in peace and harmony with them.

Hitler wrote Mein Kampf---detailing his plan for Germany, and a German ruled world. He acted on it, he meant every word (I've read it).

Islam has written their book; it's called the Koran, and it details its plan for mankind. What else can be said?

By the time you reach the chorus you won't be singing alone, but I bet you get arrested. sigh

[Gritty]

These Muslim jerks better enjoy their little peaceful sit-ins while they can.

After the next 9/11 they pull (and there will be one), they are going to get their @$$es thoroughly kicked, or worse.

I would rather not wait.

However, I do understand where you are coming from.

[maica]

That is definitely on my play rotation!!

[maica]

Maybe I'll just hum this one:

Is humming in an airport against any rules?

[kalee]

I'd join you humming or singing, but I still expect we'll get arrested.

Strong in Christ our great salvation
(Tune - Men of Harlech - )

Strong in Christ our great salvation
called to be his new creation ...
... Many more were hated
driven out ill treated ...
... No derision pain or prison
ever destroyed their heavenly vision
we with them say “Christ is risen!”
living by our faith.

Subversive words indeed, but who would know which words we were humming.

[SHOOT THE MOON bat]

Maybe this little tune would be appropriate at the Reagan Airport. After all Reagan was a Sinatra fan.

Strangers on my flight,
turbans they're packin'.
Wonderin' if they might,
plan a hijacking.
They could pull a stunt,
before this flight is through.

Something's on their minds.
I saw them mutter.
What that in their hands?
Looks like box cutters,
I'm gonna kick some ass,
if they make a move.

Strangers on my flight.
Two smelly people,
and they're not talking right;
and in a moment,
I will grab a baseball bat;
and that will be that.
Swing like Joe DiMaggio,
and rip them both a new a-hole.

And if they pick a fight,
and try to screw us,
I'll punch out their lights,
just like Joe Louis.
It would feel so right,
for strangers on my flight.

Ratta Tat Tat Tat,
Budda Bing Bang Boom,
Zooma Zooma Zoom.

Send those bastards to the moon..

It's the Democrat Party not the Democratic Party.

Please. It's the Demonrat Party not the Democrat Party.

Quick, sprinkle holy water on them!

The prayer lasted eight minutes without incident.

Might be a record.

[nwrep]

Can you organize a Christian prayer vigil at Reagan on such short notice to counter the evil Mohameddans?
