CanaDu? Are you gone or are you still trying to think of a reason why the airline should ignore passengers who report suspected terrorists?

[ronniehm]

And, CanaDu, if you refuse to get off the plane, do ya think they just might call the police? Huh? Well? Of course they would.

[ronniehm]

So, CanaDu, if a passenger passes a note to the flight attendant that accuses YOU of being a potential terrorist, what do you expect the airline to do about it? Do you think MAYBE you would be taken off the flight and questioned? Huh? You think? Yes? That's what I thought.

"Apparrently that group of whites in Germany in the 1930's and 40's or that other group in Serbia in the 90's don't count. Only a tiny spec of time has passed since then. To think it won't happen again is self delusion. There is plenty to fear from us. We've demonstrated time after time what we are capable of.

**You're right. I meant to say white Christians.

**Chad, you think fear is the dominating factor here. I think you are wrong. 'Once bitten, twice shy.'--We are tired of people running over us. Also, these men did do something wrong--they were not tolerant of America after 9/11. We trade off some benefits (not rights) in society for safety. It is not a right to incite fear in a public place. They should have known that if they went thru all the precautions they state for their conference!!! I'm sick of you and the PC crowd expecting us to baby Muslims! I agree with most everyone else who's sick and tired of being expected to treat Muslims like royalty, and to be very careful not to insult them in any way. Bull!

"Name one. Did you see anything in that article that was reported by an actual passenger or crew member? No you did not. You saw what the airline said to justify its despicable behaviour."

Multiple witnesses said they made anti-american comments. They asked for items they didn't need. They refused to leave when security asked them to leave.

"Actually, I think the imams would be delighted with our Christmas carols. "

No they wouldn't.

"An airport is an international building, pure and simple. Doesn't matter who built it or who paid for it. If I use its services to fly into your country, it's my airport too."

You just make that up? Good luck setting the rules in "your airports" overseas.

[ronniehm]

"US Airways has yet to cite ONE EXAMPLE of something the imams did to make their fellow passengers feel uneasy"

Yes they did.

Actually, I think the imams would be delighted with our Christmas carols. They are more enlightened people than most so-called Christians.
