U.S. Airport Guards Told To Be "Sensitive" toward Muslims
Arutz Sheva ^ | Dec 29, 2006

Posted on 12/28/2006 8:21:02 PM PST by jdm

The American Transportation Security Administration has instructed airport security guards to be sensitive to more than 15,000 Muslims traveling to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj Muslim holiday.

Guards have taken a "sensitivity course" which taught them that Muslims believe Jihad, the Arabic term for a holy war, actually is an "internal struggle against sin." The also were taught that when noting suspicious Muslim passengers, they should be "aware that they may also be praying."

IRA terrorists may be "Catholic" in terms of their familial origin, but they are nationalists and socialists first.

Oh, Jesus Christ! If I were president, I'd fire any SOB who proposed such a course, designed such a course, or had anything to do with such a course. And I'd have his dumb a** investigated and audited all the way back to the Big Bang!

They patted down my wife and checked for explosives because she was in a wheelchair. How many white grandmas in wheelchairs have blown up buildings or planes? None.

1. Islam is a death cult. Nuff said.

Was the "sensitivity course" taught by the ACLU?
I find it hard to use the words "sensitivity" and "Muslim" in the same sentence.
I will ask it again - where is the national spokesman for this peaceful, family-loving side of Islam that I hear people speak of? When can we expect to hear from him? Will he please stand up and make himself known?
Until then, let the profiling continue - and even increase if necessary. Don't like the rules? Go live somewhere else!

The pigs that flew those airliners into the WTC, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania were "praying" just before the planes hit their targets. That is a dumb, really dumb, statement for these jokers to be making. Personally, if they are "praying" before boarding the plane, I'd be concerned.

They were actually Irish Marxists - hardly real Catholics. Any claimed Catholicism was simply for the purpose of obscuring who they realy were and to get support from Irish Catholics in Ireland and the US.

It would have been appropriate for these morons at TSA to have shown some measure of sensitivity to the mom/wife of a GI deployed to Iraq with three children; all under five years. One was an infant in a carrier, the second approximately two and a half and the third maybe five. She was burdened with diaper bag, formula, toys and the myriad other necessaries of that situation. She was returning to Fort Stewart, Ga. from a visit to grandma for Thanksgiving. Why else would she be carrying a bottle of formula, another of liquid hand cleaner and pink Johnson's baby lotion?

As might be expected of these clowns at TPA, many of whom do not speak English, had her practically strip, they dug through the diaper bag, made her unwrap the kids' toys, and generally dragged her through a series of indignities and foolish suffering. Yep, she sure looked like a terrorist to any keen observer.

Meanwhile, immediately in front of me and my partner, we were on our way to a hearing in Atlanta, two Arabic speaking, obviously middle eastern males passed right through as though they were TSA executives known to the inspectors. I said something of an inquisitive nature to a TSA supervisor at a desk beyond the ckeck points. He threatened me with ''interference with the TSA'' and immediate arrest if I persisted in my questioning.

We are very fortunate indeed to have these guardians of our safety and freedom laboring diligently and intelligently for us.

Another reason I don't fly. They feel they have to anal probe me (white male) to prove that they are sensitive to muslims.

It's up to us passengers. If you see someone appearing to be middle eastern in a airport tell security they were behaving suspiciously. If two middle easterners are on your flight, before you take off, tell the stewardess they were exchanging eye contact and nods.

Lie if necessary, this is war. You may be saving hundreds of lives.

I hate the IRA more than most, but how many planes were blown up by Irishmen?

Now muslims?

I bet the number is higher for the muslims. Prove me wrong!

They're prayin' alright...for success at killing.

"When you enter the plane:
"Oh God, open all doors for me. Oh God who answers prayers and answers those who ask you, I am asking you for your help. I am asking you for forgiveness. I am asking you to lighten my way. I am asking you to lift the burden I feel."

I'm tempted to agree with you. If we make it inconvenient enough, and uncomfortable enough, for them to use airlines for travel... Then possibly they'll stop or reduce their usage of airlines. Therefore making potential middle eastern terrorists stand out all the more. Sorry for the inconvenience chaps, but sacrifices must be made.

However, if we "cry wolf" too often, then we may not be taken seriously when there are real indications of a threat.

I remember Ann Coulter saying something to the effect that "if Muslims weren't flying, we wouldn't need airport security"!

With your PC tendencies, you'd go far in the Department of Transportation. Justice Department or Department of Homeland Security.

The most violent thing the Irish Catholics have done in the U.S. was get drunk on Saturday Night.
