This was said by the father of one of these yahoos. On the contrary, I think the CEO makes his position clear, while at the same time not dispargaging anyone.
Mr. Choudray, methinks thou doest protest too much.
It worked. The nurse called the cops.
Guess these guys weren't quite so innocent.

"Profiling" is inevitable. Three single, young, moslem men, joking about 9/11 should be enough for suspicion even if they DIDN'T blow through a toll-booth with cars that were tagged by the dogs for explosives.
They should be thankful they aren't in Gitmo.
I must have missed that part.
That dripping sound is my heart bleeding for them. There is a way for them to make amends, but I suppose it would not occur to them, to simply apologize.
I don't recall hearing any "proof" that the woman in Georgia lied. Does anybody else recall such "proof".
The "innocent until proven guilty" doctrine applies only to criminal law and whether they end up in prison or not. Larkin Hospital, on the other hand, is a private business and has a perfect right to make business decision.
If you are the CEO of a private Florida Hospital, would you hire three individuals who have been accussed of threatening (jokingly or not) to kill Floridians? If you were a patient and those individuals were in a position to slip a little something into your I.V. at Larkin Hospital, would you still go to Larkin Hospital or would go to St. Elsewhere Hospital?
Let these guys sue and let Larkin Hospital counter-sue. Let's see who wins in front of a South Florida jury.

Clearly, several thousand more Americans will have to be slaughtered before we get serious about profiling.
NEWSFACTOR.com - NEWSFACTOR NETWORK: "FBI TERRORISM TASK FORCE RAIDS ARAB WEB HOSTING FIRM" (ARTICLE NOTE: The firm is identified as InfoCom Corporation. ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Arab leaders held a news conference to protest the FBI's actions, calling it an "anti-Muslim witch hunt." They insisted the task force, which also included the Secret Service and the U.S. Customs Service, acted on little evidence, but rather on political pressure and anti-Arab stereotypes. "While Muslims understand the FBI's mission to protect American citizens, we are concerned that the civil liberties of InfoCom's owners and their many important clients were violated by this unexpected raid," the Arab group said in a statement.") by Tim McDonald (SEPTEMBER 7, 2001)

TRADITIONAL VALUES.org: "MUSLIM GROUP'S EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN MAY AID EXTREMISTS" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "CAIR, however, may not be the kind of organization that should be supported by moderate Muslim-Americans or by public libraries. Middle East expert Daniel Pipes ( http://www.danielpipes.org ) has published several exposes on CAIR during the past few years. The most recent was published in April. According to Pipes, CAIR has at least one individual associated with international terrorism on its board of directors. Siraj Wahhaj was named in 1995 by U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White as an unindicted co-conspirator in the attempt by Muslim terrorists to blow up New York monuments. Wahhaj served as a character witness on behalf of convicted Muslim cleric/terrorist Omar Abdel Rahman who masterminded the New York terrorist plot. CAIR has also criticized President Bush's closing down of the Holy Land Foundation, a front group for Hamas terrorists. In 1998, the chairman of CAIR gave a speech to a group of California Muslims and told them: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth."") (091302)
