Imams to sue passengers of US Airways

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Six Muslim men who were removed from a plane last fall after passengers reported suspicious behavior are threatening to sue some passengers who complained.

Please visit the Link for the rest os the story.

My question is this - Is this racial profiling on the part of the passnegers? Or is this the right thing to do by airline passengers, considering the state of the world as we know it today? Or is this some statement from Imams? Please discuss.

They should know not to be on a plane/in the airport praying in arabic or whatever middle eastern language....


It would be like in 1940 you were on a plane and then someone who spoke german was next to you.....


Same thing, well kinda?

I agree. Also, IMO, it seems like sine the USA is to be a "politically correct" nation with regards to "proper ways", and to not be judgmental, use proper phrases, etc, that this could actually be our downfall and weekness as well. We, as a nation, are to accept all sorts of religion, style, beliefs, and opinions. And here is just 1 case where it seems like our policy is being thrown back, because the passengers are wrong.

My opinion is the passengers did the right thing. I hope US Air gets this dismissed. I have more to say on this whole thing, but I whave to think a bit as to how to word it.

They may try and sue, but it’s a waste of money and court time. The airlines reserve the right to refuse service to anyone that they feel the need to for any reason. Showing up at a flight too intoxicated, not dressed properly, making a scene, or even smelling funny, pretty much anything that causes discomfort, a safety concern, or even simply unease to other customers can get you booted from a flight. You should read the small print on the ticket sometime.

Check out this, they aren't getting it. Looks like some people are awake after all...
