Group wants Northwest to apologize for asking teen to remove head scarf - AP/Boston.com, by Staff

'A civil rights organization is demanding Northwest Airlines apologize for allegedly forcing a Muslim high school student to remove her head scarf at an airport security checkpoint. In a letter to the Minnesota-based carrier, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations said Monday the Dec. 18 incident was an example of religious harassment and an equivalent of a public strip search. The council is asking the airline to investigate the incident at Baltimore-Washington International Airport and discipline the security guard.'

CAIR again. Busy, busy, busy. And people whine about the ADL.

Yeah.

CAIR doesn't seem so bad, when you make that comparison. :)

CAIR apparently wants muslims to be exempt from the security hassles everyone else has to endure. Fat chance. It's far more likely that muslims are going to be subject to mass deportations, as unlikely as that is.

These security hassles are going to have to apply to everyone or no one. I hope the agent who started all this mess finds himself standing in the unemployment line before the week is out.
