Go to 44: The Obama Presidency

- Go to Praying on Planes
Why apologize for the truth?
The best thing that could happen would be that they decide to boycott ALL American airlines.....
If you were on the plane involved wouldn't you be a bit upset? It wasn't just the prayers before boarding.....
they're behavior aggravated the situation....they knew they were disturbing passengers before and on the plane.....and they were enjoying it.......next time take a car....or behave yourself.

David - since the media swept this under the rug I'll tell you an
important fact in this case. One of these imams has documented connections to an organization that funds terrorism and is on the record praising Osama Bin Laden. He should not have been in the United States in the first place. Additionally people have the obligation to exercise personal restraint when in a foregn culture. Most of the United States is not Muslim and is not impressed by flagrant displays of exotic prayer in public places.
I hope Muslims boycott US Air as they have threatened to do. Then it will be the safest airline to fly on.

A friend of mine's husband is a Mauritian muslim man
and was taken aside at a French airport and strip-searched before boarding to go home, so it's not just in America. It's actually quite scary that people are so afraid. I find that most actions like this are born out of ignorance. It is an unfortunate fact of life that the innocent suffer with the guilty.
