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.

I just can't wrap my head around the concept. It's like dry water.
Otherwise, I'm all for the boycott. The fewer mohammedans in the air, the safer the world will be.

Unfortunately flying carpets just don't have the same impact potential when flown into a building.

...called for imams around the country to boycott the airline... Might be a good step in ensuring Islamic fanatics no longer fly airplanes into buildings...

Hmm, if they don't want to board planes to blow them up, they'll have to resort to using S.A.M.'s from the runway.

They can take it a step further and flee the persecution while they are at it.

Too damn bad they did not boycott American Airlines on 911.

Because the moslems are like any other kleptocrat, they think if the steal the USA they will have the power of the USA.
It is like the old cartoon of Hagaar the Viking who can't figure out why the spigot/faucet he stole does not have water magically flowing out of it.
The Imans of mainstrean islam think that by "taking" the USA they will have the industrial power of the USA.

Call Us Airways and let them know we Americans will be happy to fly their airline now, since we would feel much safer.

That's where the fat bellies come in...Hehehe... Southwest would make them buy an extra seat for the belly.
How about if fried pork skins become the standard airline snack food? At least it's low carb. :)
To: wallcrawlr
Excellent! Boycott all airlines, sand maggots...

US Airways, America West, and soon Delta, all under the same roof. If I could get them to boycott Airtran, Allegiantair, and Southwest it would cover all my flights!
Boycott 'em all.
Please.

That's like that old joke about the Mexicans. "The Americans stole half my country." "Which half?" "The half with all the good roads!"
