One of the Muslim scholars removed from a US Airways flight on Monday today called for imams around the country to boycott the airline after employees refused to sell him new tickets for his flight home.
On Monday, Omar Shahin and five other imams had gone to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to fly home to Phoenix after attending a conference in Minneapolis of the North American Imams Federation. Shahin is president of the group.
But after passengers raised concerns about the imams — three of whom said their normal evening prayers in the airport terminal before boarding the Phoenix-bound plane — the imams were removed from the flight and questioned by authorities.

Whichever airlines they boycott will be the one I'll fly!
Just think for the benifits they will get from walking instead of flying.
Best news we have had in a long time. Hope they start to walk when making a trip. Hard to believe we can be that lucky.
Happy ThanksGiving.
Dear Imam
I have it on good authority that USAirways is a favored airline of the GREAT SATAN America I strongly urge all muslims to BOYCOTT it at once. It is clearly an airline of CRUSADERS.
Regards,
Watch for US Airways to have soaring demand for their flights if muslims stop flying on their airline.
I'd book a muslim-boycotted airline in a heartbeat.
Sounds good to me! Boycott ALL of them, Imam!
Anyone know the reservation number for US Airways?
Your right!
"...Shahin said the imams asked for two seat-belt extensions because "a couple of us have big fat bellies.""
That's why they wear robes!
If they asked for seat belt extensions, how the heck did they fit in those tiny seats? And what about the restroom?
Great........okay, do it.
This is a threat?.......I'll call it a gift.
Nice!
Documentation? Credentials? Do you mean documentation/credentials that they are unready for the current century?
My sentiments exactly! I've got two words for those scholars.
PLEASE. DO.
I'd like to add a couple other crusader favored airlines:
American Airlines
United Airlines
Bacon on the early flights! BLTs for lunch!
Love those pig skins!
I'm calling US Air in the morning to give them a big thank you, and to tell them not to give in.
Muslims boycotting US Air? Guess who is about to become my carrier of choice?
Really fella; I just got back from a wedding in California, and didn't see one muzzie in sight on the flight. Don't fly our airlines, oh, a thought just hit me; why don't they get the hell out before they realize the hard way that Sharia Law is the antithesis of western mores and ways.
