“All he has to do is renounce violence and make it known in the community.” I’ll be waiting patiently right here for that.

I am waiting as well, but I do think that we have to start pressing the point and help visitors to our country understand that it's different over here and violence will not do.

[Xenalyte]

This is VERY true.

[Cobra64]

"Why is everyone looking at me?"

[RedRightReturn]

c’mon Ex, they’re profiling alright...they probably give “the wanding” to all the hot women...

yes, that’s a compliment...

[Explodo]

Truth is truth.

When someone prays five times a day for my death I tend to get a little nervous.

We're informed enough to be watching your a$$,and we're trained enough to put a pencil in your eye if you as much as go NEAR the cockpit door Damn straight!

[Old Sarge]

The Flying Imams, the Westboro Baptist Church - they’re HOPING that someone will start a fight so they can claim more victim status.

In the case of the Flying Imams (which I still think sounds like a bad circus act), they are hoping also to bring suit to intimidate anyone who stands in their way.

-are these MEN who are searching her?

“Muslims say when booking a flight, they feel everyone is watching them.”

Hey Muslims! News flash for you! ... We ARE watching you, very closely. If you feel ‘watched’ then you’re starting to get the hint. You don’t like it? Then start standing up to your radical freaks, loudly and often. Until then, we ARE watching you.

bump...’til later

[Explodo]

Yep. Although one woman did pull her out of the security Que when we were leaving Minneapolis. The Officer had the look of a Flannel wearing, friend of Home Depot sense about her....

[tioga]

-these days ya just never know who’s gonna hit on you. Scary.

[rogator]

Easy solution.
Go Greyhound and leave the flying to us.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

When I travel international, I’m usually with the boss. He’s a bit bigger than me and always gets singled out while I procede on. They must figure that I’m the brains and he’s the muscle....

;-)

[Samurai_Jack]

“Muslims say when booking a flight, they feel everyone is watching them”

that’s because... THEY ARE!

[knews_hound]

It is all about money and getting us to lower our guard.

I explain it all here; Allahboard US Airways.

Too bad the legalism of Islam requires their members to dress like terrorists.

[American Quilter]

The airline absolutely did the right thing. This was a stunt, calculated to intimidate both the passengers and the airline, and to make us all afraid to speak up when Muslims behave in a threatening manner. I just hope the airline continues to do the right thing.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Could it be being a member of death cult and acting as a group in a very suspicious manner had anything do with this? Anyone? Buhler?
