“Flying While Muslim” was the title of today’s cover story in the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The initial title made me think it was going to implicate the airlines and ask us all to pity the poor Muslims who were behaving suspiciously. Fortunately, that isn’t how the article read, though these stories usually pull the liberals out of the woodwork.
In my own opinion, I think the six Muslims Imams were intending to cause trouble. In post 9-1-1, how could they be so naïve as to think that loud praying and cursing America wouldn’t raise suspicions on a commercial airplane? I saw this type of tactic used when I worked for the county.
Certain protected groups caused trouble, and when they were confronted by administration they levied accusations of prejudice/racism and filed a lawsuit. It effectively held administration at bay, because we live in a society that is hypersensitive to minority rights.
In the case of the county, one of the biggest instigators was found to be dealing crack while working his job as a drug counselor for the Chemical Health Division. Eventually the FBI caught on, even if the county didn’t.
Personally, if I wanted to get Muslim extremists on board commercial airplanes, I would send groups of… say six… onto an airplane to pray loud, curse the United States and then when they got into trouble, I would point out that they were discriminated against. Eventually, after numerous incidents of this, society would become “trained” to ignore suspicious individuals who fit this profile –for fear of being found politically incorrect and prejudice.
Bottom-line… the airline acted appropriately. Security must continue to be a priority. People will have to keep in mind where they are and what they are doing when on an airliner. If they can’t behave appropriately they should expect to be detained, removed or otherwise dealt with.
