Today, with a news headline this silly, it almost sounds believable.

And that’s not funny. But as usual, Scott Ott reports:

(2006-11-21) — In the wake of a civil rights crisis sparked when culturally-insensitive passengers on a U.S. Airways flight Monday became alarmed at the sight of six praying Muslim Imams, a consortium of major airlines has agreed to set aside Muslim prayer sections on all domestic and international flights.

“From now on, we devote our former first class sections to the use of our faithful, peaceful Muslim customers,” said an unnamed airline industry spokesman. “Most of the time, when a group of Muslim men suddenly stands up on an airplane chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’, they’re simply praying. Although the memories of 9/11 are still fresh in the minds of many Americans, if we’re going to heal those wounds, we need to move beyond religious intolerance.”

Flight attendants will alter their safety instructions to inform passengers that “seat cushions can be used as prayer mats,” and pilots will make every effort to point planes toward Mecca five times each day.

The industry source added, “We ask our devoted Muslim customers only to remember that all domestic flights are non-smoking, and we’d like to keep them that way.”

1. PLEASE SOME ONE TELL WHEN THIS CRAP CALLED “POLITICALLY CORRECT” IS GOING TO STOP. MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN FLYING FOR YEARS AND NEVER NEEDED A PRAYER AREA. WHY NOW. HOW ABOUT SAYING “NO”. I’M NATIVE AMERICAN HOW ABOUT GIVING ME A NATIVE AMERICAN SECTION. OR A JEWISH SECTION. PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS. WHEN DOES COMMON SENSE COME INTO PLAY.

3. RE: Dairenn Lombard.

   I completely agree with you. In fact, given that flying with muslims [lower case intentional] may be dangerous to us and our families I will do my best to avoid traveling anywhere where there are muslims on board.
