Muslim Americans still find acceptance elusive in the wake of bin Laden’s death
Yahoo ^ | 5/11/11 | Liz Goodwin

On Friday morning, Masudur Rahman boarded a plane to attend a conference in North Carolina on Americans' distrust of Islam. Agents with the Transportation Security Administration had twice screed both Massud and his traveling companion Mohamed Zaghloul and determined that the two men were not a threat, and they were cleared to join all the other similarly screened passengers on the Delta regional flight operated by Atlantic Southeast Airlines.

That's why it came as a shock to the pair when the staff ordered them to deplane, reportedly because the pilot didn't want them on board. An Atlantic Southeast  spokesman says the airline is investigating the incident, and that the company takes "all allegations of discrimination very seriously."

Rahman and Zaghloul didn't arrive at the conference until the evening, and Rahman said he was too stressed by the experience to concentrate on the weekend's topic of "Islamophobia," or the fear of Islam.

"I was humiliated. I was not feeling good," he told The Lookout. "I thought maybe my children will think in the future, 'My dad was singled out and forced to get off on the plane.' It was an emotional shock." (Rahman has two children under six years old.)

"America is a land of justice and a land of law and that's why people like to live over here," he says. "If somebody is facing some injustice, American law and American people stand behind him or her."

I think that she saying that the silently approving community of “moderate” muslims, still haven’t found people being accepting of them.

Of course they haven’t found a warm reception and I hope they never will. Time for them to return to where they are comfortable.

Only idiot liberals would even consider the thought that one dead muslim means that all the others are now okay.

Maybe it is because we never hear about Muslims speaking out about rabid, violent, extreme, radical, head-lopping, women-hating, intolerant, freedom-hating, 12th century, ignorant, allahu-ahkbar-screaming freaks that commit wicked deeds in the name of Islam.

Muslims have zero desire to assimilate. They are quite happy to settle in to an area and turn it into a replica of where they came from. Americans will never accept any group of people who act more as invaders than as proud Americans.

Did any of these ‘Muslim Americans’ ever disapprove of the persecution of Christians by their fellow Muslims overseas?

But then again, I should not be so harsh against Islam — neither have any of our “Christian” congress critters.

Y0ur post beat me to it. Muslinn - American is anoxymoron. They do not honor their oaths of citizenship, nor do they support te constotution. What they want is “sharia law” which gooes against everythinng the constitution stands for.

Muslims are a curse on America, and they hate America and will always seek tio conquer it from within and convet our nation to one filled with contempt , rage, and violence, with the standard being ,” an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,” all in the name of “Allah.”

There should be NO immigration from Muslim countries allowed to the USA. Being Muslom should be a disqualifying factor for immmigration to the USA.

obama is another symptom. If he´s reelected we´re finished. But we may be done for anyway.
