Poor Wittle Imam’s Were Humiliated

November 21, 2006 | By Sniper One |

Six Muslim men were removed from an US Air flight after what some of the passengers considered “suspicious behavior”.

The behavior in question was their evening prayers.

Is this a case of Islamophobia, or just prudence on the part of the passengers?

I suppose that depends on if you can tell the difference between “Allah Akbar” (God is the Greatest) when said as a prayer and “Allah Akbar”, right before they detonate the bomb.

Personally, I think it was due diligence on the part of the passengers.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) More from Jihad Watch:

It seems as if the “suspicious behavior” on the Minneapolis flight from which six Muslims, who turn out to be imams, were removed consisted of the imams’ evening prayers. So Shahin says “he was ‘humiliated’ and never felt so bad in his life. He said ‘it’s terrible’ to put six scholars in handcuffs.”

Indeed. It is terrible. It is terrible to have to do so. It is terrible that these and other scholars have allowed those who commit violence in the name of their religion to do so unimpeded and unchallenged. It is terrible that these and other Islamic scholars have responded only with vilification when asked about the teachings of their faith that promote violence, instead of with honest dialogue and attempts to reform those teachings. It is terrible that they have thereby allowed their religion to become so associated with violence that American citizens on an airplane become alarmed at the sight of Islamic prayer.

It is terrible. But it is completely understandable. And the onus is not on the other passengers and the air marshals or whoever took them off the plane. It is on Muslim spokesmen such as Edina Lekovic, who deny and obfuscate when questioned about Islamic terrorism, instead of discussing it honestly.

I don’t believe that it could of been said better.

Update:

From Jihad Watch:

Imam Omar Shahin, one of the men ejected from the plane… is a representative of the Kind Hearts Organization. This is one of those Islamic charities that has ties to terrorists, in this case, Hamas.

Still think the passengers and the airlines were over-reacting?

Also From Jihad Watch:

Omar Shahin is one of the imams removed from a flight in Minneapolis. He was involved with Kind Hearts, which has been closed down for its connections to Hamas. He also acknowledged a connection to Osama bin Laden in the 1990s in a September 28, 2001 story in the Arizona Republic (thanks to Austin): “Arizona Was Home to bin Laden ‘Sleeper Cell,’” by Dennis Wagner and Tom Zoellner. From that story:

How about that over-reaction now?

      Okay, here is where I start to get angry and a little exasperated. First, I just love the fact that whenever something seems racist or bigotted in anyway, everyone always attributes it to ignorance, racism is born out of ignorance, anti-religion is b…..
