There was a dude, who was on one of my flights, who had a jacket, that had a grenade on the back and wings sprouting out of it.
Talk about innapropriate attire, I'm surprised he didn't get a cavity search wearing that thing through security.
That or shot on site, when he came within a mile of the building.
Juan Williams was fired from NPR for saying that he gets nervous.
NPR Fires Juan Williams Over Muslim Comments | The Blaze
When you see (or if you saw) people dressed in Muslim garb getting onto your airplane, is there any moment of uneasyness or nervousness in you?
Getting nervous is not a conscious choice, so I wouldn't blame people for being nervous, especially considering how much absurd "fear teh evil muslimz" is going around nowadays. I get nervous at the sight of spiders, even when my rational mind knows that they are harmless. What counts is recognizing that the fear isn't rational and making sure that you don't act on it.
I used to like flying, too. But now it's such a pain in the ass (get there three hours early, stand in line for a strip search, be herded into a tiny seat in a dirty-ass plane, stewardesses give you a ****ty attitude, flight arrives late, ect.) that I'd just as soon drive. The only fun part for me anymore is the take-off.Not at all. It is more behavior than anything else that would make me nervous. But even then it can be hard to tell since some people, like myself, simply don't like flying and start sweating during take off.
I don't get nervous when I see people in Islamic clothing in my plane. I grew up with Muslims and I don't fear them. The majority in America are not radicals and pose no threat to our safety. They are individuals worthy of respect and equal treatment just like everyone else. I feel it's sad that many have come to fear all Muslims and vilify them based on the actions of a radical minority who have preformed terrorist attacks.
But, has Islam done all possible to renounce the terrorists and their agenda and have they made a concerted effort to capture OBL?
BTW - Why does anyone like in these United States need to go about in Muslim garb (??)

Its just so..... ethnic...
NO, It's their way of saying they have zero intention of assimilating and that their numbers will grow.

I presume then that YOU believe the Majority are Dead set against the Radicals and wish to fully assimilate ino Western societies ???? Is that correct (??)

And what about those Hasidic Jews, Oy Vey!!!!
I knew somebody would bring them up and I've had probably more contact than anyone else here. I've even been a Shabbos Goy to some slightly less Orthadox types.
BTW - Jews of any subdivision do not seek converts. Islamists think it's proper to Kill those refusing to convert.
Sarcasm is really lost on you.
And if seeking converts is an issue with you you need look no further than Christanity.
Christians FORCING others to convert at Swordpoint is ancient History almost. Muslims advcate it like today. Also I didn't initally bring the Hasidim into this thread.
