WaPo finds "Diversity of Opinion" on the flying Imans
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 7 -- For years, the Minneapolis-St. Paul area has been known for its [PC] liberalism and tolerance...The area just elected the nation's first Muslim congressman, Keith Ellison (D)...Police and airline officials say the imams,..., were removed after exhibiting suspicious behavior, including uttering anti-American statements, changing their seat assignments so that they would be scattered around the airplane and asking for seat-belt extenders, which could be used as weapons...But the imams say the behavior in question was merely quiet prayers before boarding the flight.Local Muslims of various ethnicities are united in their anger ... [actually probably not true... however muslim who are not seething are afraid to speak up] ... over the imams' treatment. Posted by: mhw 2006-12-08 |
