Re: 6 Muslims sue US Airways
Hey, I believe it is my God given right to make jokes about bombs in the security lines, as part of my freedom of speech. Others, with a lot of power, will detain me if I do so.
We don't know what happened. I tend to side with the flight crew, because, God forbid something does happen and they could have prevented it. They may have erred on the side of caution, but I am sort of glad they did. Call it racial profiling, prejudice, whatever you want.
Thus far, we have had zero incidents with Norwegian women, or Japanese Grandmothers.
If these Imams were playing stupid games to prove a point, I don't think the passengers were amused at being delayed 3.5 hours. If the Imams were completely and totally harmless, then accept the apology, suck it up, and move on, or better yet, blame your brothers who somehow manage to explode a suicide bomb nearly every day somewhere in the world. Incidents like this *hurt Islam. *Filing a law suit may seem cute to you guys, but looking like whiney victims is not that flattering. Some suspicion is not wholey without reason or rational thinking. Finding an effective middle ground will take some time. Whining like children of the ACLU really helps no one.
Having a trial will not be pretty, but it will take five years to get to trial.
