Glenn Beck is the one who brought it up. IIRC, he was skeptical and checked it out, and it appears there's quite a bit happening around Phoenix.

"Muslims offer to help 'John Does' sued by imams"
By Audrey Hudson
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
March 21, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, a Phoenix-area physician and director of American Islamic Forum for Democracy -- a group founded in 2003 to promote moderate Muslim ideas through its Web site (www.aifdemocracy.org) -- told The Washington Times his group will raise money for legal fees for passengers if they are sued by the imams.

"It's so important that America know there are Muslims who understand who the victims are in air travel," said Dr. Jasser. "But I hope it doesn't get to that point because the backlash will be even greater when Americans see Islamists trying to punish innocent passengers reporting fears.""

"Smallpox threat prompts isolation of airline passengers"
By Cleve R. Wootson Jr.

McClatchy Newspapers

(MCT)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "CHARLOTTE, N.C. - More than 100 US Airways passengers were stuck on a plane at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport on Friday for about three hours after a man on a flight from New Orleans announced that he'd been exposed to smallpox.

"He basically said, `I've been exposed, you've all been exposed,'" as the plane taxied to Gate C10, US Airways spokeswoman Michelle Mohr said.

After landing at 3:30 p.m., the plane stayed at the gate, surrounded by fire trucks and ambulances, while the man was evaluated by doctors at Carolinas Medical Center. Doctors said he showed no signs of the disease.

Authorities took contact information for passengers and crewmembers in case there are medical issues."

"Hill bill protects flying public"
By Audrey Hudson
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
March 24, 2007

House Republicans are pushing legislation to protect airline passengers from lawsuits for reporting suspicious behavior that might be linked to a terrorist attack.

Rep. Steve Pearce, New Mexico Republican, introduced the Protecting Americans Fighting Terrorism Act of 2007 on Thursday, a week after a lawsuit was filed by a group of Muslim imams who were taken off a US Airways flight in November.

It is "unconscionable" that those who report suspicious activity could be "terrorized in our own court system in our own country," Mr. Pearce said on the House floor yesterday afternoon."

Katherine Kersten: Hulk Hogan of legal world volunteers to go up against imams
StarTribune ^ | 3/25/07 | Katherine Kersten

Posted on 03/25/2007 8:31:28 PM PDT by ButThreeLeftsDo

I wrote last week about the "flying imams"' federal lawsuit, which sets a new low in efforts to intimidate passengers concerned about air travel safety. Buried in Paragraph 21 of the imams' complaint is a legal landmine: The imams plan to sue "John Does" -- innocent bystanders -- who alerted the authorities about their security concerns. Since then, volunteer defenders of the John Does have stepped forward, locally and around the country.

Dr. Zudhi Jasser, an Arizona physician who heads the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, offered to raise money to pay the defendants' legal costs. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty in Washington, D.C. -- whose clients have included Christians, Jews, Muslims and Hindus -- offered to represent the John Does without charge. Eleven members of Congress, including Minnesota's John Kline, are co-sponsoring legislation that would bar suits against individuals who report "suspicious behavior" to security personnel in good faith.

But the real bull in the imams' china shop is right here in Minnesota. Like some legal equivalent of Hulk Hogan, Gerry Nolting of Minneapolis law firm Faegre & Benson, came storming out of his corner last week.

"House votes to protect 'John Does' on flights"
By Audrey Hudson
March 27, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "House Republicans tonight surprised Democrats with a procedural vote to protect public-transportation passengers from being sued if they report suspicious activity -- the first step by lawmakers to protect "John Doe" airline travelers already targeted in such a lawsuit.

After a heated debate and calls for order, the motion to recommit the Democrats' Rail and Public Transportation Security Act of 2007 back to committee with instructions to add the protective language passed on a vote of 304-121.

Republicans said the lawsuit filed by six Muslim imams against US Airways and "John Does," passengers who reported suspicious behavior, could have a "chilling effect" on passengers who may fear being sued for acting vigilant."

Has CAIR been notified? Standyby for fits of Muslim outrage.

They're going to reopen their office here in the Twin Cities, so they be close for the next trick that's pulled. Oh joy.
