Group demands probe of imams' removal (The group? CAIR, of course.)

those attending included Rep.-elect Keith Ellison, D-Minn.,

I said that it won't take long for this guy to muck up...what is your opinion on this Keith?

Shahin expressed frustration that — despite extensive efforts by him and other Muslim leaders since even before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks — so many Americans know so little about Islam. “If up to now they don’t know about prayers, this is a real problem,” he said.

Here it comes, proposed legislation to "educate" ~~infidels~~ ~~dhimmis~~ Americans and teach them all about muslim prayers.

Beware of converts... and zealots on the House floor.

Does it seem like they're getting a little more bolder and defensive? I have a bad feeling that this is just the beginning of things getting a lot weirder. And there's something about this, too: "If up to now they don't know about prayers, this is a real problem,". At first, this seems almost like a threat. Then I thought about it a little more, and he's right. If by now (starting from 911?) we haven't bought into their ROPBS, it IS a problem. THEIRS.

CAIR is second only to Al Qaeda in causing Americans to hate Muslims. It is difficult to name a more counter- productive organization.

We are concerned that crew members, passengers and security personnel may have succumbed to fear and prejudice based on stereotyping of Muslims and Islam," Nihad Awad, the council's executive director, said in a news release.
1. Muslims blow up trains, planes and automobiles.
2. Muslims dress up in homicide bomb vests and blow up busses, pizzerias and discos.
3. Muslims have their children commit mass murder/suicide for the sake of killing Jews and other infidels.

If my family and I are on a plane and a group of Muslims decide to stand up and have a little "going-away prayer", there is going to be some sh*t right there on the airplane and I am going to be in the middle of it. Stereotype, may @ss. It's facts, brother.

Plus, I think they are currently pulling this stuff on purpose in order to set a precedent that they can act as suspicious as they want to and the airlines can't say beans about it. Paving the way for the next attack, which we all know is coming.

At the same Minneapolis airport Muslim cab drivers were refusing to take passengers with bottles of liquor .. a violation of their religion. CAIR didn't have problem with that. Perhaps my religious beliefs do not permit me to travel with Muslims...my beliefs should equally be honored.

Is it just me, or has our country's healthy skepticism about Islam and muslims gone a little too far perhaps?

I'll give CAIR some credit: they're letting the women speak.

Don't forget that some muslims hate other muslims because they're in a different sect.

One more thing: the TSA is partly at fault for this mess. With their awfully restrictive pilot-arming program and their prohibitions on passengers bringing guns on board planes, keeping suspicious muslims from getting on planes in the first place is the ONLY course of action.

As far as I am concerned, every damn one of them should be sent back to the hellhole country they came here FRom!

Not far enough! IMHO.

I'm sorry, but in this post-9/11 era, when a group of Muslim men get up at the same time on an airplane, move in pairs or other groups, and refuse to sit down when told to do so, we hve no choice but to take action against them.

Now, it might have been OK if the flight crew had offered to let them get up one at a time, go to the open space, and pray, then have the next one do the same. But you cannot hve a group of Muslim clerics or other Muslim men moving in concert on an airplane after 9/11.

Ibrahim Hooper worked as a news producer in the late 80s and early 90s at KSTP-TV, the ABC affiliate in Minneapolis. At the time, he went by the name Doug Hooper. He is a convert to Islam.

And this little tidbit from the Founder of CAIR:

Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."

Real tolerant.
