Re: Muslim Father and son removed from flight
I'm with Faisal. Where is the "innocent until proven guilty" claim when it comes to aviation security and rights?
Najim,
I understand what you are saying. "Why attract attention to yourselves?" Right?
That is the first step to conforming. And if we conform, then we will be permitting the onset of another holocaust as Lajawab has described.
We cannot just conform.

I mean they could have religious caps, and can grow long beards but what is the point wearing shalwaar qameez? I am sure if they would be wearing normal local dress no one would bother much.
I am not saying that muslims are not being hated but I am saying muslims should also try to behave a bit rationally too.
thora sa aqal se bhee kaam le lo Najim bhai
Re: Muslim Father and son removed from flight
I just hope that everyone who is concerned here are similarly concerned and vocal about cases far more sever prejudice that prevails in Muslim majority societies including Pakistan.
Anyway, I doubt professional airlines in the US have an agenda against Muslims, actually I have been subject to security ever since 9/11 while I watch people of all kinds, including long bearded turban wearing folks checking in through the self-service booths, while I wait for half an hour to an hour with some blonde who probably is traveling for the first time, just because our names match the ones on the list. The security system at US airports is still stupid, mainly because there is not enough public uproar to fix it. The government likes it because they can always use the excuse that they are doing everything they can to ‘keep you safe’.

Ahmadjee, how do you always end up with a blonde?
Re: Muslim Father and son removed from flight
What will happen is we will keep taking it all in stride and thinking, things will get better...They won't...
This is exactly how the Jews were started to be treated slowly in Germany...They too could never guess what would happen...It also started very slowly and gradually...From being asked to leave from gatherings, businesses being denied to do business, underhanded racism, unjust treatment and an overall sense of things being out of kilter...
It wasn't like the Germans overnight just started killing Jews...It was a gradual buildup of hate...They had their own 'experts' on Jews at that time which made documentaries on Jews which made them seem like the enemy of state and subhuman...Today's 'experts' like Daniel Pipes, Ann Coulter, Fox news, CNN, CBS e.t.c. are essentially doing what the propagandists of Nazi Germany did...Poison the minds of the populace against Jews so much that when a Jew is killed, we take it in stride...Or at least say that the Jew deserved it for being a Jew...
It was a slow process and was almost a work of decades which resulted in the killings of Jews...
America has just started out...No doubt, there are many amongst these same Americans who realize and know what path is being taken is a one way ticket to destruction...These are the peope who can think beyond what's brain fed to them...Their faculty of thinking is beyond what they hear in news...Their knowledge comes from education, wisdom and the ability to analyse things not based on propaganda but on logic and conscience...But their voices are drowned in the blare and din of frenzied and hysteria inducing, mob mentality nationalism...
Though I agree with you.But its kinda funny that biggest Jew hater here is giving example of Jews. :D
Re: Muslim Father and son removed from flight
Faisal Bhai, I wish I would get stuck with a black lady, so we both can sue the airline and play the race card.
Re: Muslim Father and son removed from flight
Sue tau aap apnay khwaab mein bhi nahi karein ge, but I guess being stuck with the blonde, makes that half an hour more fun, considering your bubbly personality.
Re: Muslim Father and son removed from flight
Just a few days ago I took a flight to san Francisco, with two stops, I skimmed through the security checks. People behind and in front of me were taken in for extra checks. I was wearing a pink T shirt.
*wear pink
Re: Muslim Father and son removed from flight

Re: Muslim Father and son removed from flight
There is no freedom of choice, speech or whatever anywhere on this earth. There are not human rights protection in anywhere on this earth. The major norm is, one needs to survive by the rules, u deviate from it u are done.
Captain1, next time when you start a job in an organisation in anywhere in the western world ... go to work in Shalwaar Qameez.

The issue here is not about "work place" environment, rather social in general.
Secondly when u said "one needs to survive by the rules", I'm sure you mean "hidden rules" not the one you see posted around as "The Rules".
