Follow-up to the "Plane from Spain" situation: "Just 2 Asian lads having a bit of fun"
Go to link for photo of the precious idiots. Two Asian students have revealed their shock and despair after being thrown off a plane because other passengers feared they were suicide bombers. Manchester Umist students Sohail Ashraf and Khurram Zeb, both 22, said they sympathised with nervous travellers, but urged people not to be paranoid about Muslims. "We might be Asian, but we're two ordinary lads who wanted a bit of fun," Mr Ashraf told the Daily Mirror. "Just because we're Muslim does not mean we are suicide bombers." But if you play at it, my dears, the rest of us may well act on the suspicions you create. The pair were marched off the jet at gunpoint (!!!) after fellow passengers demanded that air staff remove them from the flight back from Malaga, Spain to Manchester. The pair were quizzed by Spanish police for several hours, but then put up in a hotel and allowed to fly back to the UK later that day. Posted by: trailing wife 2006-08-23 |
