^wine, its not a matter for laughter when its YOU who are singled out and worry that you're going to be put on the next special flight to gitmo yeah? And the only thing that can help prevent this from happening more often than it SHOULD...is to educate and spread the knowledge about who Muslims actually are and what they actually beleive.
All i know is that extremism is a problem bigger then Nazi/Sovieet and Pakistan/Afghanistan are breading ground for this. Are they not?
I don't know what I'm gonna do if similar "misunderstanding" thing happens to me and my family? May be I'll forgive them or may be leave the country but removing hijab is no option for me.
When Talibans/Al-Qaeda will stop their beheadings, bombing girl schools everything will be normal in civilized world, were you happened to live too. !
Hareem, thats not what I was trying to imply...you should feel free and welcome to practice Hijaab. But you should also be aware, as I'm sure you are, that it makes you stand out in a crowd in USA...its unusual yeah? So you are that much more subject to scrutiny, not by security screeners per se but by fellow passengers who have been subjected to the "brainwashing" of the news media. So when they see a serene, peaceful and peace-loving type of Hijabi you have done a wonderful thing for the education of the "brainwashed public" yeah? But when they see a hijaabi who is asking for the "safest seat" then all of those overblown and threatening news reports plays into their fear and you end up with the situation that this family endured.
I'm not saying that its right or that its fair... It is what it IS...but for my part, even though I am not yet Muslim, I HAVE read and understood much so far and do everything I can to pass on the serene peace and goodwill of the religion to others.
Yes I can now clearly see your point and I'm in agreement with it. It's been 4 years since I'm wearing hijab and nothing disturbing happened to me, Alhamdulilah.
I didn't know or rather couldn't tell that you are not muslim but inshaAllah you're not far from Islam.

Dear Mama , no offence at all, i appreciate your nationalism and security measures for the poor passengers :), but pathetic that country who ruined itself for the state of Israel for 60 years. Today again used VETO in Security Council who killed innocents childrens and 400.You have seen that video in World Affairs forum !
You fear from 1 OBL, i assure you , what US policy is in Middle East when attacking and killing 1 million in Iraq for superficial WMDs and now doing for Isreal, US is giving birth to more than 100 OBLs , to what extent this policy will save US though Iraq war is about 800b USD and one of the major reason of US financial crunch :(

I think both taliban/al qaeda and Western governments need to stop killing and bombing. You can't blame only taliban for all the mess in the world. What do you think...

Don't worry about Israel, & Financial crunch its our matter. If Pakistan is keep receiving its aid why you care buddy, not getting atta anymore? We will also take care of 100 or 1000's OBL, people of Iraq are liberated and American forces are coming back with victory :)

I think you are right, but how about stop beheadings, let people shave, let them listen music or go to school .. first?
Two different way of living (not religion) are clashing in middle east, hope so western civilization (not religion) will win again. After all me and you also live in west and can see by our own eyes how is this system work. Aren't we !

I say let people live the way they want to live either by shaving or growing beards, worshipping one God or worshipping animals. :)
Please elaborate how or the nazi's or soviet are ban words ?
these aren't banned words but comparing those nations to pakistan and afghanistan is not a nice thing to say because it's not true.
also it's not related to the topic of this thread.

The libearation of Iraq and victory is depicted easily when Shia Journalsit served Bush with Farewell Kiss of 10 no. though US claimed to liberate shia majority from hard core sunni Saddam. We have been receiving aid but pathetically the donors themselves are standing outside sinking corporates,banks and stocks. :)

And yes its totally related to thread its my point of view and it is according to ALL views rules. I will call compare them to Nazi's actually they are worst then them !

It was no10 or 20 is it matter? What was our goals we achieved that's what matter.
I will personally write to President Obama & congressmen for proper aid distributional in Pakistan. You are our allies, my friend we are here to help you. Don't worry electricity, food, gas shortage will be soon finished, we are sending two Naval Electric stations for karachi & 100000 ton of wheat. Enough to feed our front line 2$ an hour soliders for a year !
[note]Are we bunch of spolied brats who get carried away on mere remarks and derail the whole discussion?
Kindly keep the intent of the thread in mind and explain your point of view how and what you think the incident was and what it means for muslims or what it tells about the mindset of the involved people and move on.
