| I'd like to see them conduct the trial with the defendants speaking Arabic and taking breaks every few hours to pray and pound their foreheads on the ground - just like they were in the airport. Subversives at link. |

| #2 This is the face of prejudice and racism that happens today. Ummmm ... no. This is a direct result of how over 90% of the thousands of terrorist attacks that have taken place since the 9-11 atrocity were all committed by Muslims. All else that follows is merely a result of people paying close attention to that fact. I wonder if these six individuals will ever even bother to reflect upon how it is their own co-religionists that have ruined Islam's global reputation? |

| #1 Suing American Airlines? Sounds like a setup. Maybe not. SAN DIEGO (AP) - A woman who got off an American Airlines plane after expressing concerns about traveling with a group of Arabic-speaking Iraqi men said she regretted the men were later questioned but she could not help being nervous. «Everyone who didn't look like us went off and did whatever they wanted,» said Al Watan, a U.S. citizen who says he fled Iraq in 1991 and loves his adopted country. "I would die for it", Al Watan told the newspaper. Apparently he doesn't love it enough to deal with reality A lawyer representing Al Watan and the five other men involved in the incident said the group wanted an apology from the airline. «They can't just assume someone has a bomb strapped to them just because they are Arabic,» attorney Lawrence Garcia said. Imagine if it was during WWII and they were Japanese. Why were these twits surprised by their treatment? I just don't get it. |
