Pilot Refuses To Fly With Muslim Men On Board

You know if I walked into a hospital and started preaching about holistic medicine, I could be charged for terrorism.

US Airways Captain on flying imams incident: "I can promise you the captain didn't throw those people off because of the way they were dressed. There's more to the story."

These imams are demanding all sorts of concessions. It is interesting to note that the orthodox Jews who were removed from a plane in March are not crying victimhood, not claiming racial profiling, not trying to weaken airport security. The contrast is illuminating. An update on this story. "Captain Backs Pilot Who Kicked Muslims Off Plane," from WSOCTV.com, May 9:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A U.S. Airways Captain defended the actions of another pilot, three days after two imams were kicked off a flight bound for Charlotte.

Lawyers for Masudur Rahman and Mohamed Zaghloul said the imams were pulled off a plane in Memphis before it headed to Charlotte Friday. The lawyers said the pilot refused to fly with them on board. He said the men passed multiple security clearances before boarding a Delta connection flight operated by Atlantic Southeast Airlines.

The imams said they were victims of racial profiling. On Sunday, Capt. James Ray, who represents the pilot’s union for U.S. Airways, said it’s highly unlikely the pilot asked them to leave for that reason.

"I can promise you the captain didn't throw those people off because of the way they were dressed. There's more to the story,” Ray said.

The imams said the pilot told them the passengers were uncomfortable, but no passengers spoke up.

Ray said ultimately, it’s the captain’s call. “The captain operates in an environment that's always changing. It's dynamic. You can't fly an airplane by committee,” he said. [...]

The imams were headed to Charlotte for a weekend conference on "islamophobia" - the fear of Islam.

They were put on another flight and arrived a few hours later.

Atlantic Southeast Airlines released a statement and said it apologizes for any inconvenience but it takes security very seriously. The imam's attorney said his office plans to launch an investigation into the incident. If it turns out the pilot was not justified in putting the imams off the plane, his office will sue for negligence and a violation of civil rights.

Muslim Leaders Address "Islamophobia"

The annual conference in Charlotte was scheduled before Friday's incident and before the death of Osama bin Laden. Conference organizers said the timing could not have been more coincidental....

Yes, what a remarkable coincidence!

I'm almost ashamed to be called an American, if Americans are stupid people like these. Seriously.

Now, i know there are lots of good people out there, but there's also way too many dumb people like this, and like I said, I'm almost ashamed to be from the same country as these racist people. it's a horrible story, and I want to apologize to all Muslims for dumb ass people like this, and the even dumber who 'put the Qur'an on Trial and then burn it'

Delta should've grounded the pilot and asked if he just finished watching For Only Xenophobes before getting onboard.

Why are people so ignorant? (rhetorical) MUSLIMS ARE NOT TERRORISTS, AND TERRORISTS ARE NOT MUSLIMS. TERRORISTS ARE HUMAN AND MUSLIMS ARE HUMAN.

I used to live in Saudi Arabia and I found it fascinating that many of my students still lived with their African slaves, who had been "liberated" several decades before yet had nowhere to go and no way to get there. This is technically not much different from the US in the 1880s... with the great exception being that the movement to abolish slavery did not develop naturally within Islamic Saudi Arabia, but rather was forced upon them by the post World War II international political order from without.

I also used to find it sad, on some freakish level, to see all the African-American converts to Islam who had relocated to Saudi Arabia to live where they could wrap their wives up in burqas/abayas, and enjoy their unearned status of superiority over the Infidel without having done a thing to earn it, yet at the same time the local Arabs just looked down at them with total racist disdain and scoffed at their attempts to indigenize and become equal. It got so bad that in one of my classes I had to demand the Saudi students from every referring again to the African student in my class as nigger and slave which I found repugnant. (Brilliantly, this African student was one of my best students!)

As a black man I am disgusted beyond words that these Islamonazi imams have the audacity to compare themselves to Rosa Parks!!! I also loathe the fact that many black people cling to Islam even though Mohammed called us raisin heads, and the fact that Muslims were enslaving black Africans centuries before the Europeans, but turn around and say Christianity is a white mans religion.

There are two cards Muslims like to trump: 1) Racist Card 2)Victim card.....both fake.

These imams deliberately behaved arrogantly so they can cause fear to the other passengers and then can claim victimization of so-called Islamophobia , besides suing the airline for million of dollars later on. It's like mosques which are mysteriously being destroyed, smeared with pig blood, burnt or whatever, and then witout any evidence, the Muslims claimed non-Muslim 'racists' are victimizing Muslims (and yet most of the perpetrators are never caught), thus helping their cause further politically for such victimisation.

I wouldn't want to fly with that pilot on board.

What a douche.

He'd been watching too much TV... if terrorists wanted to be sneaky they wouldn't have dressed so conspicuously.

Isn't this some sh** #%%#%!%^%&#!!!!

The pilot must have been related to Juan Williams.

"For What It's Worth," Buffalo Springfield

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

Can you believe this scared out of his mind little man that calls himself an American doing this. A country of scared of fucking rednecks with no balls!

I've noticed that some are arguing that it was okay for the pilot to throw the Muslims off the plane because some Muslims are dangerous extremists. Using that logic, if I ever become a pilot, there will be no Republicans on any plane that I fly, no siree!

Nice, so two paying customers had to be inconvenienced over an employee throwing a tantrum. Now I know what kind of service to expect from Southeast Atlantic!

So when are they firing this pilot? Racisim shouldn't be tolerated in any workplace.

lets be honest , the U.S just blew bin laden's brains out , a lotta people are a lot more tense and paranoid and on edge than normal . obama laying wreaths at ground zero bringing back memories , taliban marching up and down vowing revenge. Im not condoning nor supporting his actions im just saying his paranoia is justified even if his actions may not be.

These 'Muslim men' were Imams en route to a conference on "Islamophobia'' are now comparing themselves to Rosa Parks! LOL

We have yet to hear the pilot's side of the story, but this situation smells bad for several reasons, not least of which is the curious coincidence of the imams' travel plans to a conference on the concocted phenomenon of "Islamophobia." We have seen provocative behavior by "flying imams" before, as well. And in any event, the imams ought to understand this before claiming victimhood: Even as the air security apparatus bends over backwards to avoid the appearance of any special focus on one particular group, the single most serious terrorist threat at home and abroad to the United States is from jihadists. And we know well their preference for the drama and massive disruption that targeting air travel provides them. Hence the scrutiny.

Pilots have rights too!! And just who is it that does all of these heinous acts that this pilot was worried about? Penguins??.... Eskimos??.... Old white ladies??............Aborigines?? NO.............. ARAB/ISLAMIC,20+ year old males....THAT'S who. Let's trash all this "Political Correctness" shit and call it like it is.....PERIOD!

Nobody cared when the mere presence of Orthodox Jews caused the lockdown of the cockpit of the plane and airport police escorted the three Jewish men off the plane last month. Not even a mere yawn (and it happens a lot; last January a flight out of NY was diverted to Philly because of Jewish men), but two imams are escorted off a plane in Tennessee and the media (which jokes about these Jewish incidents) is blown-back, and the Muslim Brotherhood groups (ie CAIR) are preparing for litigation warfare and a public relations blitz. Oh yes, CAIR is going to give all of America "sensitivity" lessons (while pushing for a Ground Zero mosque on hallowed ground).

As for these fully garbed imams, the pilot was looking out for his crew and passengers. If six-year-old girls can get sexually groped by TSA, fully garbed imams can be inconvenienced as well.

Delta has suddenly become my favourite airline

The title is wrong. I think it should say, "Pilot is Ignorant Paranoid Jackass"

Yeah, that makes America look good...

What happened? don't this Airline staff trust the work of the #TSA to make them safe? Pilot is just a bigot and an ignorant.

It's good to see people becoming more aware of the clear and present danger of an ideology that wants to destroy western civilisation and dominate the world. I will fly with Delta next time because I want to be safe.
