Last week, six Muslim religious leaders, or imams, were removed from a Minneapolis flight last week for allegedly exhibiting behavior associated with a security probe by terrorists and were not merely engaged in prayers, according to witnesses, police reports and aviation security officials.
And they've been whining about it ever since.
Yesterday, Omar Shahin, one of the "offended" imams removed from US Airways flight 300, joined other interfaith victicrat religious leaders in a "pray-in" at the US Airways ticket counter at Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC.
From today's Washington Times:
Mahdi Bray, executive director of the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, called removing the imams an act of Islamophobia and compared it to racism against blacks. "It's a shame that as an African-American and a Muslim I have the double whammy of having to worry about driving while black and flying while Muslim," Mr. Bray said. The protesters also called on Congress to pass legislation to outlaw passenger profiling.
Here's a "double whammy" for you, Mr. Bray:
For one thing, passengers and flight attendants told law-enforcement officials the imams switched from their assigned seats to a pattern associated with the September 11 terrorist attacks and also found in probes of U.S. security since the attacks -- two in the front row first-class, two in the middle of the plane on the exit aisle and two in the rear of the cabin. "That would alarm me," said one federal air marshal. "They now control all of the entry and exit routes to the plane." A pilot from another airline said: "That behavior has been identified as a terrorist probe in the airline industry."
In other words, those six Muslim imams were exhibiting behaviour that, in post-9/11 America, would have made any rational person suspicious. Oher pilots told the Washington Times that they would taken the same action as the US Airways pilot. Well, duh!
Secondly, Imam, Shahin has been whining like a snotty-nosed brat sent to time out, claiming how "it was the worst moment of my life." Oh, the injustice of it all! What Imam Shahin failed to mention, however, are (a) his admitted ties to Osama Bin Landen and his denial that 9/11 was an Al Qaeda plot; and (b) his links to a charity group with ties to Hamas and whose assets have been frozen by the U.S. Treasury Department as a result. (Two double whammies for the price of one, Mr. Bray!) Those two not-so-insignificant little tidbits must have slipped his mind - given his emotionally fragile state and all.
Because we are living in a post-9/11 world, and in light of the very observant and conscientious U.S. Airways passengers, flight attentants and pilot who very well may have prevented another catastrophe, I've got three words for the six cry-baby Muslim Imams and their victicratic sympathizers:
GET OVER IT!!!!!!
As Michelle Malkin said on the O'Reilly Factor last night, those Imams should just wipe their noses, dry their eyes and basically suck it up. Nineteen of Shahin's "brethren" used hijacked airplanes to murder over 3,000 innoncent men, women and children a little over five years ago. We ain't takin' no chances, buddy!
Deal with it.
