Arrogant Imams Kicked Off Plane For Terrifying Passengers
Six Muslims were removed from a US Airways flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix after they decided to launch into a swinging rendition of Allahu Akbar on board the plane.
The six were on their way home from a conference of the North American Imams Federation, which was attended by Keith Ellison, radical Islam's new representative in Congress.
As if oblivious to the effect it would have on other passengers, who would naturally interpret it as a prelude to yet another Muslim terrorist attack, three of them stood up in the plane and started reciting Islamic prayers.
After a passenger expressed concern about their ominous behavior, airport security workers asked them to leave the plane; they refused and were removed forcibly.
Sniveled Omar Shahin of Phoenix:
I never felt bad in my life like that. I never. Six imams. Six leaders in this country. Six scholars in handcuffs. It's terrible.
The heart bleeds, doesn't it? Of course, the terrified passengers might not have felt great about the experience either, but that's what they get for not being multicultural enough to embrace Islam.
Naturally CAIR — a poisonous cross between Hamas, the ACLU, and Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton — was quick to arrive on the scene. Yelps spokesman Ibrahim Hooper:
CAIR will be filing a complaint with relevant authorities in the morning over the treatment of the imams to determine whether the incident was caused by anti-Muslim hysteria by the passengers and/or the airline crew. Because, unfortunately, this is a growing problem of singling out Muslims or people perceived to be Muslims at airports, and it's one that we've been addressing for some time.
For some time is right: ever since this happened:
To its immense credit, US Airways refused to put the praying imams on another flight (according to Hooper), probably due to their openly intransigent attitude, which indicated that they would only make another scene and scare the passengers again. No doubt the company will be sued into bankruptcy for showing a little backbone on behalf of its customers.
On a tip from Wiggins.

So, if 6 Hasidic Jews stood up at sundown and started praying, you would throw them off the plane for being arrogant?
Here's a question: is there a Muslim out there that isn't a terrorist in your eyes?

Get serious, Skippy. Jews aren't waging a terror war against the rest of the planet; Muslims are.

Evil Skippy, well, as soon as Hasidic Jews start hijacking airplanes and crashing them into buildings while yellow Allah Akbar, then Ill be all for throwing praying Jews off airplanes.
Its quite clear why they chose to do what they did on the WAY HOME rather than on their way to the conference - they were trying to provoke the reaction they got for publicity. They knew doing what they did would terrify people and thats why they did it. So Fk em.

Gen. Ripper,
How about...
It was time for prayers?
Every Muslim says "Allah u Akbar" (God is Great) every time they prayer, five times a day, every day. It's not unusual if you bother the least bit to find out about the culture.
And I hate to tell you, but it used to be quite common for Hasids to throw stone at their neighbors who drove on the Sabbath. Likewise, Hasids make up a large part of the heavily armed settler movement in the occupied territories. Some of them are not particular peaceful folks.

So we can't let the Christians pray in the schools but we must let the muslims pray on the planes?

So, Skippy is one of those people who think everybody else should have to scrape and bow down before the delicate sensibilities of Muslims, but Muslims are under no obligation whatsoever to adjust their behavior to the cultural norms other religions adapt.
Skippy, do you know what a dhimmi is? Go look in the mirror.

They dont get to do it on a plane you asshat. There is also something called 'decorum' and/or 'not pissing off the natives'. There is also the fact that they are not the only people on the plane, and their 'right' to prayer extends only so far as it doesn't interfere with other people. I doubt very highly US Airways would allow a Druid to sacrifice a goat on a plane anymore than they would allow a group of Seventh Day Adventists to start an impromptu choir. Get a grip.

Ok you dirty hairy bastards, congregate 5 times a day, mumble this ridiculous horseshit and repeatedly sniff the guys ass in front of you.
Eternal bliss and 72 bitches await you.
Makes all the sense in the world to me.
