Washington Times on the 6 imams removed from a Minneapolis flight last week for "praying";
Witnesses said three of the imams were praying loudly in the concourse and repeatedly shouted "Allah" when passengers were called for boarding US Airways Flight 300 to Phoenix.
"I was suspicious by the way they were praying very loud," the gate agent told the Minneapolis Police Department.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 a federal air marshal who asked to remain anonymous. "They now control all of the entry and exit routes to the plane."
Three also asked for seat-belt extenders, which they then laid on the cabin floor.
Hell, I'd a tossed 'em so hard they'd bounce...
Invite the Imams to try that stunt on El-Al airlines. That could be their big chance to get away from it all.
Look - the Islamic community has itself set up this situation. No-one else has defined the Islamic community as mass murderers; they have taken on that role, for themselves, by themselves.
The Islamic leadership, both political and religious, has allowed and encouraged its people to become mass murderers, in the name of their religion. It has not lifted a finger to inhibit, to chastize, to disallow this behaviour. Instead, it consistently praises suicide attacks, jihadist attacks; insistently defames the west and the USA, shows on its media (gov't controlled) images of murder, images of praise for these murders.
Therefore, they are the ones who defined the 'stereotypical profiling' of themselves. The should expect us to react to their definition of themselves.
The air security staff acted correctly in this incident. The congresswoman who called for legislation to prevent racial profiling is a politically correct idiot, and a danger to airline safety.
The spokesman for the Imamas certainly knows all the words and phrases that set off the media, and creates pangs of guilt in the gullible liberals of this world.
Their highly suspicious behaviour should see all six banned from air travel in the U.S. There's always Amtrak or Greyhound.
The U.S. in in a war with radical Islam, and any measures they use for the safety of citizens should be applauded by the MSM, not derided.
The justice system should refuse to allow the inevitable lawsuits to be heard in court, and if the liberal left get upset, tough.
The U.S. government is constantly referred to as "Fascist", it's time for them to live up to that name.
Try getting on a train in New York city in 1944 and shouting "Seig Heil" while carrying a copy of Mein Kampf and see how long you would last.
As a practicing Infidel, I would never put myself in a situation where a Muslim had a modicum of control over my well-being. We are at war with Islam. They declared it. End of story.
I have to commend the pilot and the flight crew for doing a excellent job. Sure makes me feel a whole heck of a lot better about flying, knowing the professionals I trust my life too, will not be intimidated into taking careless risks for the sake of not hurting someone feelings.
I am constantly amazed at the patience of American air travelers with this sort of stuff. I’d expect Canadians to fly and die rather than actually confront a potential risk, but I expect American passengers to get in the Jihadi’s faces once they start acting up.
They should be invited back to fly to Phoenix, escorted by the offensive and defensive linemen from the Arizona State Sun Devils Football Team.
If they want to travel with Infidels, let them travel with 300 pound Team Satan members.
Quite right dmorris. These teachers from the religion of mass murder provoked by lust, certainly know the Liberal agenda targetting Muslim profiling, and this incident is nothing more than a ploy.
In the meantime, US Airways has gained the advantage of being the safest airline due to the ensuing Muslim boycott. They are recieving great support and apparently sales haven't been better.
There's obviously a business opportunity in that. Imagine 'Muslim free' travel. All a transportation business needs to do is cause Muslim outrage, which isn't too difficult, and wait for the calls to boycott from the various mouth piece organisations, like CAIR, etc.
My opinion of US Airways just doubled.
I hear the sound of little violins over aircraft PA systems all over North America. The tolerance for extremism and resistance to integration within the muslim community is making non-muslims more and more unsympathetic to any complaining coming from that community.
Say, didn't Minnesota elect a muslim congressman with links to extremist groups?
They made all of the right moves to bring attention to themselves, their seating assignments, the unnecessary belt extenders, I bet it was a set up. We've seen this poor little misunderstood Muslim airline passenger act before, pushing the envelope, then, crying foul play.
Think about it, if you are publicly identifiable members of the global Murder & Mayhem tribe, you need to make careful choices in selecting your public demeanor. These clowns were having fun at our expense.
The MSM is the Islamofascist's best friend here. Their next best friends are the Dems, whose playbook of victimology scams, pc and multi-culti permissions, and just general stupidity when confronted with evil makes duplicity so easy for these creeps.
irwin - along your lines, I'd love an audit of just what each resident or visiting Muslim is costing us as taxpayers since 9/11 for all of the security that we've had to put into place. Just divide the billions with the number of Muslims here. It's huge. A good reason alone to never admit any more Muslim tourists, students, or immigrants.
I have to agree with Penny. I think it may have been staged.
Let the bedsheet-psyco's try hitch hiking to their next "death to ______ rally".
Ban them for life, this was waaaay to similar to a trial run.
No way are these bearded fascists this naive.
Penny,
I have read statistics from Sweden on the welfare cost of Muslim immigration, it's hard to believe they are still allowing them in, if not deporting the bastards. The Muslims must view it as a form of infidel tax, or jizya, I suppose.
But, yes, if there was a study done and made available to the public on the monetary and emotional cost of Muslim immigration vis a vis security since 9/11 - I'm sure we'd be on the path to ending it. Rather, and unbelievably, what the Canadian government has done since 9/11, is double the number of Muslims in Canada.
Because of this, CSIS has declared that not only can it not guarantee public safety - but that it's inundated and cannot do it's job.
So the billions the citizen taxpayer already pays towards security is even a waste, not to mention an unnecessary hassle.
Madness.
That fellow wearing the Captains stripes, up there in the left seat, has the final say. I'm waiting for the day when one of our PC pols prances up to the flight deck and tells that person he is going to fly, regardless...
Believe me, those of us rednecks in the general population are going to start pushing back real hard, soon. Our dollar and our feet will speak loudly.
I had to spend a week on the perimeter of Dearbornistan recently. You get the definite feeling that the rest of the Detroit area, regardless of what Representative Conyers desires, has had it's fill with Islam.
Lucky for us it didn't happen in Canada. Taliban Jack would be calling for an inquiry, all sorts of special interest demonstrations going on, claims of discrimination... aka known in Canada as "the usual"
Maybe Muslims could boycott the airline to see it's share value rise,
Before 911 james woods saw them do a test run, I'm guessing that's what this was.

Allah is on a roll! The Buddhist man under this sheet is just one of 666 innocents murdered in the name of Islam last week.

We should ban immigration of Muslims into Canada and deport all Muslims that are not citizens.
Citizenship should be revoked for foriegn born Muslims that are connected in any way to extremists.
Saw a vid of their litte "pray in" at Washington National. Lots of photogs, and nobody had the cojones to walk through the kow-towing group with an airy "you're blocking the road, jerk". Possibly wiping their muddy feet on his rug.
Hey - one can dream, eh?
It does sound like a setup for sure. They should be charged with the costs associated with delaying the flight.
If not well as the boy who cried wolf found out, so shall the muzzies.
I was walking past a mosque on the south side of Edmonton when two muslim gentlemen exited. I nodded and the responce I received was chilling. Both of them looked at me like they'd enjoy nothing more than to kill me right then and there.
The whole incident seems contrived, either
a) To setup some kind of lawsuit, or to promote faux outrage.
b) To probe North American airlines to see how far overtly suspicious muslims can go without being stopped, to potentially enable future hijackers.
I agree the event had to be staged and for these gentlemen (using the term loosely) they had to know some specifics of what happened on 9/11 to follow those patterns. I agree we should stop all muslim immigration to canada and everything that Warwick said.
but sometimes we get distracted by the diversions and in this case the muslims are just the diversion.(they are just following their nature, In fact they tend to agree with conservatve people on other hotbed issues) The real enemies are those that make it possible for the muslim extremists to perpetrate these terrible acts. And to find them you have no farther to look than the friends and neighbours, we have, that Vote NDP or liberal. Very sad. Our having to worry about muslim extremists is the symptom our country experiences from the infectious disease of the left. Funny the people whom these muslims hate the most, allow muslim extremists to do the most.
"The U.S. government is constantly referred to as 'Fascist', it's time for them to live up to that name."
Great line!
Consider it poached.
Adune; it could also be an act of unconventional warfare. It goes with carrying out suspicious surveylence activities, which have been commonplace since 9/11. They are prodding our "guard dogs" to look for weaknesses, wear us down and cause complacency. It's a combination of Tokyo Rose and Lord Haha (spelled wrong I'm sure) of WW2 and the "Peace Movement" during the Cold War along with the Soviet submarines off our coasts. The MM is their best ally.
See mackenzieinstitute.com/recent-writings.htm Precursers of Hostile Intent.
Nothing is ever going to change until the sons of Allah The Camel and Baby Bugger set off a nuclear device in a western city.
And then, where do we attack back? What will Russia and China tolerate?
If it is in Europe, nothing of any consequence will happen, beacuse how do you strike back at over one third of your own population?
If it were to happen in Canada (quite likely because of vicinity to the Great Satan) then we would bend over and ask for more, just like Europe.
If it were to happen in the U.S. then results will happen:
*Mass 'sploding of Suicide Camel Buggers in the U.S.
*Mass deportation or interment of all the Cult of Goat Buggers as a result.
*Tehran will turn into a glass parking lot.
*China and Russia will have to join in the Final Crusade, or be prepared to absorb some nukes on their soil.
And the nicest thing about this worst case (and likely) scenario, aside from the final and necessary elimination of Islam?
Leftism will finally die along with its sick twisted twin.
But like I said, until we see a mushroom cloud, nothing is ever going to change AT ALL folks.
This was an act of terrorism by the 6 imams, pure and simple. It was obviously designed to cause fear (terror) in the minds of all who witnessed it. No differnet than trying to take a real looking toy gun on a commercial aircarft.
Elation should not overshadow the reality of the situation. They should be charged and convicted.
Doug, I think you are right that the complacency and denial that infects a large segment of our population and almost all of the appeasing, apologist MSM isn't going to change until the Islamofascists deliver, as they keep promising, the next Big Atrocity. We will wake up some morning to images that will make 9/11 seem very small and incidental.
It's going to take death and destruction in very large numbers before the west comes out of its collective coma of denial.
I can't even formulate in my mind at this point what our response would be.
"Funny the people whom these muslims hate the most, allow muslim extremists to do the most."
Jared, Lenin had a name for them...useful idiots.
Doug...you are right on except you forgot one step. After Ottawa is turned into glass parking lot for more mosques, the U.S. will rightfully take over this sorry excuse for a country. And just think of the fun free-for-all hunting down the yellow spined lefties. BB guns would probably be most effective.
The Imams are lucky they weren't mobbed and stomped into camel shit. Betcha next time they try this stunt, they won't be so lucky.
Let's see. If the Irish Catholics had been blowing up airplanes by being suicide bombers, and they got on an airplane denigrating their enemy (who happened to be on the airplane), in a rich Irish brogue, and then a Cathilic priest came along and gave them their last rights communion, I certainly wouldn't get on that plane! If it wasn't so pathetic/sinister in its entirety, it would be humorous!
"I can't even formulate in my mind at this point what our response would be."
Penny:
If it is part of a US city that gets vaporized, before January, 2008, then there will be a few less Islamic cities on the map shortly afterward.
After January, 2008: well, it will depend on who is in office. If it is a conservative, then there will be a few less Islamic cities on the map shortly afterward.
OTOH, if it is a liberal in office, we will immediately convene a panel to discuss why we deserved it, who we can appologize to, since we MUST have offended someone, and ask them to please not hit us again. We will then ask the UN, or mommie, for some milk and cookies.
Say, didn't Minnesota elect a muslim congressman with links to extremist groups?
Yep, and he's insisting that he be sworn in using a Koran, rather than the Bible.

Yoop, shouldn't that be January 2009?
"Yoop, shouldn't that be January 2009?"
Ah-h-h-h, SVJ, you'd be correct. My bad.
Penny, I had the exact same thought. These guys were looking to get thrown off the plane.
Not sure if Islam could survive the nuclear destruction of Mecca. The haj is one of the five pillars of their 'faith' and all of their mosques are oriented towards it.
The thought has been put forward many times before, yet it still bears water if you think it's strange that North America hasn't been hit again.
Unfortunately, it will take an attack here in order to crush the multi-culti, moral equivalence, PC, blame western civilization crowd. The dogs will be let loose, regardless of what the government says or does.
I'd hate to be a Muslim in North America if that happens.
Jared,
the Quran is not moderate and neither was Mohammad's life example. Both are violently supremist and political. Therefore in Islam there are only extremists, potential extremists and apostates. Otherwise, why is it that whenever a Muslim speaks out against Islamic violence, he/she is intimidated, hushed, threatened with death and retitled an apostate? This just happened again with a muslim speaking out against violence in Tulsa - he's been hushed and threatened with violence. (LGF)
It seems that at least some of the press are waking up in England - the London Telegraph has recently published an article stating that "we are in a war to the death." (infidel bloggers - iblog.blogspot.com)
What were the extended seat belts for. Deluge Monte Solbergs office with letters to ban all muslim immigration, then go for deporting all those that are here who have relatives in any country that has blown themselves up, then freeze all their assets and stop the transfer of any money to any muslim country, or by any muslim. Banks should be made to report any such transfers and name from who to who. Cities must not allow any more mosques to be built in Canada. Remember, insult a muslim, say Merry Christmas and send piggy banks to all mosques for Christmas. They have outlived their welcome in Canada, and if any political party would put this in their re-election platform they would win a huge majority everywhere but TO, Van, and Montreal. Taliban jack would be wiped out. Notice the greens sure cut into their vote, yesterday in London. But, in a by-election one uses a protest vote. How many know there is only one Green Party, with organizations in other countries. Policies are developed in Europe by their board.
It definitely had to be staged for some reason or another. They did everything but stand up and yell "LOOK AT ME--I'M A TERRORIST!!!"
Interesting... just about a week ago, I almost did a post on this very matter, with the same info. But I decided against it, as I'm starting to think that folks are becoming blase to the Islamists pulling such stunts and would probably see it as no more special than all the other stunts they pull, like the "Mushroom cloud is on its way" "demonstrations" in the cities of America.
BTW, my memory tells me that one of the six Imams has been linked somehow to bin Laden himself, though I can't remember where I read that, but it was in a reliable source, though.
Seems that lots of these Islamists we read about in the news are linked somehow to jihadists or jihadist organizations... like a certain Keith Ellison, just elected as a Democrat and the very first Muslim, to Congress. He is linked to both the Nation of Islam and to the CAIR, which we know to be a front for Hamas and which is a supporter of terrorism. Nevertheless, the MSM gave him a free pass, thus paving the way to his election.
It's the truth. I've blogged about it. As have many others.
Isn't it interesting that Keith Ellison got a free pass from the MSM despite his clear ties, past and present, to Islamic fundamentalist/extremist elements... but devout Christians and Jews who run for office are incessantly bombarded and mistreated by the MSM in comparison?
“Three of the men had one-way tickets and no checked baggage......
The idea that a Muslim boycott against US Airways would hurt the airline proves that Arabs are utterly tone-deaf... How can we hope to deal with people with no sense of irony?"
http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/welcome.cgi
Him, "for some reason or another"? Of course it was staged. This works beautifully for them. They enjoy making fun of, and at the same time abusing,our freedoms, and gain the MSNM's spin and sympathy. The more this goes on, the more indifferent some people become to security, while the rest scream for more tolerance, understanding and appeasement. Meanwhile, they chuckle at how easily the western world is manipulated by their own ideals.
Unfortunately this seems to be a case of the price to be paid for the personal rights and freedoms that we enjoy. What I find ironic is that those whose personal freedoms are so restricted by religious dogmatism and fanaticism seem to be well on their way to becoming the greatest users/abusers of the West's largesse in this area.
I wonder if this could be equated with falsely crying "FIRE" in a crowded theatre?
The Muslims are playing games with our way of life. It's the mission they're on to create havoc anywhere they can.
The Pilot and crew were right to take no chances with anyone acting in a suspicious manner for the safety of their passengers.
Fact is, we do not trust them and we should not trust them.
Fact is, it's their own fault.
Fact is, many of them enjoy terrorizing "Infidels".
We must keep up our guard at all times, that's the sad reality.
Many of the Muslims who live here in this country, are, and intend to remain foreign to our world and way of life. That's the "benefit" of Pierre Trudeau's Multicultural concoction which enables this divisive ruination of a cohesive society.
I wonder if this could be equated with falsely crying "FIRE" in a crowded theatre?
--I hereby make precisely that equation. Same, also, as yelling, "bomb" on an airplane. Too bad they didn't do that, though... guess one has to be more specific than "Allah, Allah, Allah" and all the other nonsense they performed to try to make the innocent passengers go all poopypants...
People - you can discuss this incident without getting ugly about Muslims in general. One of the sources for Muslim immigration are those attempting to escape the extremists sinking their claws into Europe.
Sorry Kate, I didn't mean to steal your thunder. Just realized the heading of the topic. Great minds and all . . . :-)
Here's hoping they keep it up. I'm all for disruptive and in-your-face Islamodramas 24/7 in every airport, mall, metro station, public park, Walmart, Disneyland, and intersection in the country. The bastards have been too sneaky for too long. Flush them out of the wookwork, encourage their performances, their perpetual rage eruptions and "Allah" outbursts, get them front and center in all of our faces.
Then, we can dismantle the MSM myth that Islam is spiritually serene, kind, gentle and harmless. If these are imams doing this at the airport, how stable are their congregations?
I'm calling for a letter of support campaign to the airport imams, egging on these freaks to keep repeating their stunt. Deploying Comedy Central, Howard Stern, You Tube, Mohammed cartoon vanity plates, the irreverant jokes of our own teenagers might be our best civilian contribution in the WOT.
With that said, I'm flying north for Christmas, here's to an imam at every gate.
Kate,
You are being overly optimistic. Maybe you should re-read America Alone and The Force of Reason.
Muslims emmigrate ONLY to spread the disease of Islam. It is not a religion, it's a cult.
