That’s the gist of this article. Here’s what they’re reporting:
Six Islamic leaders who were removed from a U-S Airways flight say they’ll sue the airline for discrimination. The Council on American-Islamic Relations says it will provide details on the lawsuit tomorrow at a Washington news conference.
Six imams returning to Phoenix from a religious conference in November were taken off a plane in Minneapolis, handcuffed, and questioned. They had prayed in the airport before the flight, and after they boarded, a passenger who considered them suspicious passed a note to a flight attendant.
When the men returned to the airport the next day, the airline refunded their fares and refused to sell them new tickets. A U-S Airways spokeswoman did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press, but the airline has said prayer was never the issue.
The key to this entire article is found in the last sentence: “A U-S Airways spokeswoman did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press, but the airline has said prayer was never the issue.” Here’s what we know, courtesy of Richard Miniter’s reporting, about this staged incident:
As I’ve said before, this entire episode is a staged event. As I’ve said before, I’m convinced of it because John Conyers had a resolution in place the next day and that the resolution even contained a provision granting Muslims special civil rights protections that aren’t applied to any other ethnic, racial or religious group. It isn’t credible to say that Conyers could put something like that together overnight. To put anything into legislative language takes time, concentration and perseverance. John Conyers was missing two of the three things.
This is a show trial, though U-S Airways must take it seriously until it’s disposed of. Personally, I hope it goes forward and that U-S Airways conducts an aggressive round of discovery. I hope that they ask about:
After that, I hope that they depose Nihad Awad, Arsalan Iftikhar, CAIR’s Legal Director, John Conyers, Keith Ellison, Ahmed Bedier, Parvez Ahmed and Ibrahim Hooper. I hope they let these imams and CAIR know that they’re in this to win. CAIR’s trying to get special protections for people who aren’t playing by the rules. That needs to stop. ASAP. It’s time that someone stood up to CAIR and the imams. There’s no time like the present.

It sure is taking a long time for us to realize that we’re at war. I think that we were onto the German saboteurs faster than we’re onto Islam.

These guys should have been charged. Whoever decided to let them go should have to pay any award out of their own pocket.
