An airline pilot challenge Arab Muslims in America

I did a search on the FAA database this morning and Captain John Maniscalco is indeed who he says he is.

Thanks for your research. Now, perhaps, we are getting somewhere.

Second stage: Can someone verify that those are Capt. Maniscalo's words, not words falsely attributed to him on the net? (Believe me, that kind of thing is common). One main reason for my doubt was the same expressed in #s 45 and 63: that pro-Muslim groups would have made one hell of a row, putting Capt. Maniscolo's job in extreme peril. The story, remember, has been floating around since March.

Short of sending him snail mail, no. I say that because the database does give further information on him which obviously I won't print here. But that would be about the only way to directly verify the authenticity. I'm going to go with the fact they are his words, although I see your point on disinformation. He should be aware someone is using his good name if that be the case. But even if they aren't his words, the point of the article is plain and understandable. I still stand by my own and the articles words. Arabs and Muslims are still the enemy until they prove otherwise. So far, I'm not impressed with what I've seen.

Good job! Well said. The silence has been frightfully loud. With the exception of a dear Turk who posts here frequently, I have yet to hear unbridled support for America from the segment of America I wish to hear it most.

Welcome all newcomers (I'm relatively new, too.)and join with us in our fervent love of our country and its patriots.

Exactly.

Please let me know what develops if you do happen to snail-mail him, or if anything else turns up.

So there were no celebrations in U.S. mosques, no Wahhabi influence on U.S. mosques? Radical moslems in the U.S. are a small minority of the total, like neo-Nazi Christian Identity people are among Christians? Ha! Islamofacism is mainstream in Islam everywhere - here, in London, and throughout the Arab nations. It might be a minority in Indonesia and Turkey, but not by much.

The war on terror is not about Dale Carnegie selling widgets...your comment is way off base and is irrelevant to a serious struggle of immense nad historical significance.

Several hundred Moslems are being held by the INS as severe security risks. Al Quaida trained tens of thousands, and hundreds to thousands of their operatives are in the U.S. They hide among tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Moslems in the U.S. (that 7 million number is highly exaggerated). Those hundreds of thousands that would take an active hand hand in helping an Al Quaida op live in a community of millions of sympathizers.

Why on Earth should we not start by deporting ALL of these people except for the ones we know are NOT sympathetic with radical Islam? We would do no less if they were immigrants that had Nazi sympathies.

Of course you assume racial profiling is wrong because your allegiance belongs less to this country than to whatever race or ethnic group you happen to belong to.

Now people with a particular racial/ethnic background have declared war on us. They ain't Norwegian Presbyterians. To not racially profile is foolish. This country is more important than your feelings.

"Thank you for further proving my point!"

Boy! That one just zoomed right over your head didn't it?

Dale Carnegie's perhaps best known for his programs on how to "win friends and influence people"...which language like that I referenced isn't going to do.

Seeing that you are in fear of this Captain's life, employment, and reputation, won't you, please, report back to us all that which you find out from his employer? Keep us all informed. Maybe give WorldNet Daily a heads-up, as well, hmmm?

[eleni121]

Dale Carnegie's advice may make sense to the open hearted and generous American type but is plainly ineffective with Muslims or other ideologically fanaticized populations. Let me try once more - This is about war not about winning friends and influencing people. The enemy has made itself clear and that is that the "American system" is evil. American Muslim silence and excuse ridden mumblings in reaction to 9/11 clearly implies that their support for America is non existent at worst and mildly laconic at best. They will have to either engage in a positive way or extract themselves from the hive mentality most Muslims seem to be addicted to.

Their choice to make.

[ProudEagle]

This country is more important than your feelings.

That is the best statement so far on this entire thread. Well said.

Fortunately the US government does not agree. Our fight is with a small number of radical fundamentalist Moslems, not with all one billion of them. If you look at the four largest predominantly Islamic nations in the world, two (Indonesia and Turkey) have secular governments, one (Pakistan) is cracking down on the fanatics, and the fourth is facing a popular backlash against its theocracy (Iran).

American Muslim "silence" is largely a myth. To the extent that it exists, it exists for many reasons which have nothing to do with any support for the fanatics or lack of support for America.
