Muslims Go For Our Achilles' Heel

As new facts come to light, it is becoming impossible to doubt that the radical imams who got themselves thrown off a flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix last week were either planning to hijack the plane or — much more likely — deliberately created the impression they were.
A predictably sympathetic media clucks that the poor radicals were discriminated against just for praying, which is a perfectly legitimate activity when not done by Christians. However, the imams did much more to terrify the other passengers than ostentatiously praising the god of airline terrorism at the top of their lungs.
As FrontPage notes, three of the imams repeatedly shouted "Allah" when passengers were called for boarding. After getting on the plane, they abandoned their assigned seats to take seats near each of the exits — standard procedure for hijackers. Though not overweight, they asked for seatbelt extensions, which they placed on the floor instead of using; seatbelt extensions are great for strangling flight attendants and pilots. Passengers heard them denouncing America and President Bush. They repeatedly moved around in the plane to consult with each other, another bright red flag.
Naturally, moonbats side with the imams. The insufferable Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX) has been shrieking about "racial profiling, harassment and discrimination of Muslim and Arab Americans." The phrase "flying while Muslim" is being shouted with the same phony righteousness as "driving while black."
The imams hit the ground running with a lawsuit that they had apparently planned in advance. Was this the sole purpose of their outrageous behavior? Or is this part of the same intimidation campaign that has featured such absurd confrontations as the Cartoon Intifada?
Another possibility is that Muslims are deliberately disarming us in preparation for the next 9/11. When Jackson-Lee and friends have managed to make it illegal to so much as give an Arab a long look at the airport, it will be all the easier to fly a few more planes into buildings full of Americans.
In any case, you have to hand it to Muslims: they have certainly zeroed in on the West's Achilles' heel — although a blind man could see that political correctness is a gaping hole in our civilization's defenses.
