Here’s a question:
If three dudes in Islamic dress stood up on a plane all at once and started chanting in Arabic would that alarm you?
If it doesn’t then you’re a candidate for this year’s Darwin award.
But when it happened aboard a U.S. Airways flight that was set to leave the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport and people got alarmed, resulting in the removal of those three and three others, CAIR says that it’s Islamaphobia.
The president of the group, one Mr. Shahin, says that they were just standing and reciting their prayers as 1.7 billion muslims do every day.
No they weren’t. I’ve been on flights from different points across the world including the Middle East that had many Muslims aboard. I’ve never seen them stand and pray like that aboard a plane.
This wasn’t an exercise in the freedom of their religion. This was an in-your-face confrontation. A look-at-what-I’m-doing-and-I-hope-you-don’t-like-it display of religious arrogance.
Those Imams had to have been aware of the current wary state of mind of air travelers. Not only did they not care that they might create a situation in which they would be confronted, I believe that they actually wanted one.
Why?
Because then they can scream “Islamaphobia!” at the top of their lungs. It’s another attempt at the manipulation of the media. It will work to a degee, too, unless this their act is seen through.
Nobody is telling these guys that they can’t pray on a plane. Hell, I've prayed on a plane many times and most likely so have you. But these guys, instead of quietly doing their thing made it obtrusive and obvious. And nobody can blame people for becoming alarmed when radical Islam boasts about their desire to send people crashing in huge balls of flame to their deaths. They want to kill us and they tell us that over and over again. If these guys have a beef it's with the homicidal maniacs who've hijacked their religion, not with the people they alarmed on that plane.
Like I said, if you didn’t become alarmed when they stood and started chanting then I would question your whole instinct for survival thing.
Well, those poor Imams say they were humiliated because they were removed from the plane in hancuffs. That’s after they were asked to de-plane for questioning and they refused.
Here’s a message for them: Tough. You knew what you were doing when you started this. It could have been worse.
Coffe, tea, or taser, sir?
