The imams were removed from the flight to Phoenix on Monday night after three of them said their normal evening prayers in the terminal in Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport before boarding, said Omar Shahin, president of the North American Imams Federation, who was one of the passengers removed. The passengers were among 150 imams who attended a federation meeting in Minneapolis.
"It's discrimination," Shahin said, calling for a boycott of US Airways.

It's a shame that we have to be so paranoid about certain people in this world today.

However I look at it with this analogy.....Take Firestone
The Firestone tire recall of 2000 is perhaps the most deadly auto safety
crisis in American history.
Experts believe there may be as many as 250 deaths and more than
3000 catastrophic injuries associated with the defective tires.

Did this not make consumers avoid Firestone tires for the safety of their families?

While not all Firestone tires were bad, did you want to take the chance that the ones you have were?

Just a Voice,
Interesting analogy. But there's a huge difference between inanimate objects, such as defective tires, and human beings who are singled out and targeted for discrimination -- don't you agree?

Lets not stop at removing Muslims from flights, let keep all the religious idiots off planes, I say make em all walk. Religious faith is the bane of the 21st Century, maybe if we stopped cow towing to all this religious mania the world might become a better, and safer place, maybe the long walk will sober them up a little, and give them time to reflect on the stupidity of faith based belief.

Maybe you should know a little about their religious tolerance! how can we co-exist with these people! May be your sister will marry someone like this!

What were you thinking!

Canadian Muslim Charged with Murdering Sister for Removing Headscarf

Sun, Jun 29, 2008 at 8:33:39 am PST

Remember this horrifying story the next time an Islamic advocacy group tries to tell you that wearing the hijab is a completely voluntary choice for Muslim women: Murder Charge for Brother Whose Sister Shed Scarf.

TORONTO — The brother of a Canadian teenager who was slain in what friends described as a family dispute over a Muslim head scarf was charged with murder, becoming the second family member accused in her death, police said Friday.

Aqsa Parvez, 16, of Pakistani origin, was strangled in December at her Mississauga, Ontario, home. Waqas Parvez, 27, who had faced obstruction allegations in his sister’s death, was charged Thursday with first-degree murder.

Their father Muhammad Parvez, 57, was charged with first-degree murder earlier this month. He had been a suspect since shortly after her death.

Police would not disclose details of any new evidence that prompted the Friday’s charges or what impact they would have on the case against the father. But spokeswoman Samantha Nulle said investigators were checking if other people had been involved in the death.

Police have refused to confirm the killing was over the scarf, and Muhammed Parvez’s lawyer, Joseph Ciraco, has said that more than just cultural issues played a role. He did not return calls for comment Friday.

But friends said her death came during a family feud over her refusal to wear the traditional Muslim veil.
