It is not new that more and more passengers worldwide refuse to fly with Muslims because are afraid a terror attack or hijacking of airplane. Unfortunately lefts are against more strictly control of suspicious Muslims, therefore a fly together with two imams could be like a Russian Roulette. Why while any drunk or passenger may be restricted to entry the board, Teachers of a very "peaceful" Religion may fly without any prohibition.

Nobody know what is in head of this "teachers". The question is do you agree with pilot or not.If not, please write honestly would you personally not afraid if you must to fly with this two imams?Do not forget that Islam is seeking revenge for killed Bin Laden.

Christianity is still seeking revenge for the killing of Jesus. Thus, anti-semitism.

We should not live in fear. The whole point of terrorism is to make you so afraid of the violence that you'll change your lives to avoid it at all costs. Living in fear = victory for bin Laden.

please share with us which are the "peaceful" religions and how will we be able to recognize the passengers who practice those "peaceful" religions?

Uninformed response. The best thing that ever happened to this planet...to humanity...was for Jesus to die on the cross. That was the catalyst that gave us a path to Heaven.

Back on topic: It is easy to Monday morning quarterback a decision that, at the time, wasn't as clear cut. There are a group of Imams running around trying to get thrown off of flights for the expressed purpose of getting thrown off the airplane. They think it shows xenophobia, but it really displays their own stupidity. It is unfortunate for this pilot that he was caught as a pawn of these Imams in their political game.

from all accounts, the two imans denied the ability to fly as scheduled were nothing other than peaceful persons who had twice passed the scrutiny of security officials

since they were "peaceful", why were they denied the ability to continue their flight as scheduled?

Nice slander you put on this post Alfons...
 
The pilot should at the very least be suspended and fined up the wah-hoo, if not flat-out fired. I'm appalled by his bigotry, and I'm not too happy with the premise of this obvious anti-Muslim hit-piece of a thread, either.

Your mistake here is in not understanding that being muslim, or looking muslin, is in itself not suspicious.

Islam is not a person. It is a religion. You are anthropomorphizing the muslim religion.



LoLz
 
I am not gonna sound very liberal here and some may view my thoughts bordering on hate but.. I feel if a pilot gets a bad gut (danger) feeling about someone? They should have the right to toss anybody off their aircraft:)

The death of Osama was a pretty good moment for humanity too. Doesn't change the fact that a lot of anti-semitism over the years was based on "they killed Jesus" (which isn't even true, the Romans killed Jesus, not the Jews).

. There are a group of Imams running around trying to get thrown off of flights for the expressed purpose of getting thrown off the airplane.

Care to back this statement up? Specifically, care to prove that the people in question were a part of any such group?

this pilot's action is not unlike the bus drivers' of the 50's
feeling free not to accept black riders
actually, America of the 50's
when it was still accepted to discriminate against blacks ... only because you could get away with it

then it was the gays

now its the muslims

which group is next to be "it"

the difference is that busses were not getting blown up by blacks

they were being blown up by racist whites who didn't like the freedom riders

a bus driver throwing a black off a bus was based on the IRRATIONAL motivation of RACISM

the pilot's action is based on a logical fear of the fact that almost every act of terrorism involving airlines in the last decade was perpetrated by Muslim Males or those appearing toe be muslim males

You would have a point, if a statistically significant portion of muslims flying on airplanes committed acts of terrorism. That is not the case, and that is why it is irrational. 99.99 and probably some more 9's % of muslims flying are doing nothing wrong. The odds of a particular muslim being one who is plotting a terror strike are ridiculously small. That is why the emphasis needs to be on smart profiling. Not profiling based on looks, but based on how people act. It is much more effective.
 
Looks like most people agree with the pilot. Score one for the good guys....

Islam, a religion of peace and a huge stack of dead bodies

you trust your own ass to 'vibes'. I'll trust it to the background checks, x-rays, and pat downs, tyvm.

No it is not. It is apples and oranges.

Keep in mind that a plane cannot be pulled over on any given street. You are all up in the air with no way to stop in an easy fashion.


You know I am no racist and you know the two are nothing alike. A pilot should be allowed some leeway in reguards to this type of thing in this day of terrorism. What has our own gov. came out and told us to do? If you feel something is not right and if you feel you are viewing something that could be danger? Report it. Even if turns out to be a crap call? Better safe than sorry. I feel if our gov. is willing to call on everyday citizens to be watchful about things? Then I am willing to give this pi8lot a pass on making a crap call. He did it for safety. I am not mad.
 
If the pilot lets these two on the plane dressed in muslim garb Im heading for the exit. Sorry, thats just the way I feel.

The Imam's twice passed security checks. The pilot was wrong and should be disciplined.

End of story.

I disagree..its easy to sit here and backseat drive and not have the pilots responsibility and make judgements without seeing first hand exactly whats happening or having any direct knowledge.

the 9/11 hijackers weren't dressed in 'muslim garb'... just saying..

i also don't understand why you are apologising. why apologise for a decision you have made that only affects yourself? i doubt anyone would give a rats ass. it's not like it would inconvenience anyone other than you.....
