Muslim Scholar Calls For Airline Boycott
Star Tribune ^ | 11.21.06 | Bob von Sternberg

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.

If Muslims are boycotting US Airways, then I'm going to try to make sure that every flight I take is a US Airways flight. I wish they would boycott Southwest Airlines and Jet Blue.

Funny. I don't remember Rosa Parks advocating crashing planes through any buildings.

The MSM sickens me.

I'm sure it's already been said, but I'd pay a 10% premium for a Muslim-free airline.

I'm not sure they care for the power other than that of destruction, so long as they get absolute Islamic purity.

No such thing as "Muslim scholar" -- just propagandists for the cult of death and murder.

Their stock price is up and half the executives for all the other major airlines are slapping themselves on the forehead and saying "why the heck didn't I think of this?"

If mulims were boycotting all American airlines the traveling public would feel much safer.

Great! Now I'll choose US Airways since it'll be Muslim-passenger-free.

US Airways - the Muslim free airline! It does have a certain ring to it.

He attributed any concerns by passengers or crew to ignorance about Islam.

I may not know alot about islam but I do know that ALL the murders on 9/11 were islamic.
