How the imams terrorized an airliner

Muslim religious leaders removed from a Minneapolis flight last week exhibited behavior associated with a security probe by terrorists and were not merely engaged in prayers, according to witnesses, police reports and aviation security officials.
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."
A pilot from another airline said: "That behavior has been identified as a terrorist probe in the airline industry."
But the imams who were escorted off the flight in handcuffs say they were merely praying before the 6:30 p.m. flight on Nov. 20, and yesterday led a protest by prayer with other religious leaders at the airline's ticket counter at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
Mahdi Bray, executive director of the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, called removing the imams an act of Islamophobia and compared it to racism against blacks.
The way I see it, as does Audrey Hudson, is that the imams were doing this to get the very reaction that they got and are now crying foul by claiming Islamophobia. The intent here is to make everyone start thinking that they can't say anything when they see something suspicious for fear of being labeled a racist, or profiler, or Islamophobic.
Well call me Islamophobic. If I see you doing something suspicious, I'll kick your ass and ask questions later.
The imams said they were not discussing politics and only spoke in English, but witnesses told law enforcement that the men spoke in Arabic and English, criticizing the war in Iraq and President Bush, and talking about al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.
Talking like this will also get my blood boiling. You can talk smack about anyone you want, I really don't care, but, if you do this is the context that these imams did, then you are asking for a reaction from the passengers and crew, which is what happened. Hence, your sorry islamic ass is handcuffed and removed from the plane.
You want to pray prior to flying, be my guest...
Aviation security officials said thousands of Muslims fly every day and conduct prayers in airports in a quiet and private manner without creating incidents.
You don't need to be an ass, or act the fool when you are in an airport, or on board an aircraft.
US Airways, the official non-muslim airlines!
I'll fly them anytime!
