More on the Flying Imams

One story I've neglected in my hiatus is the "flying imams," in which six Muslim clerics were removed from a US Airways Minneapolis-Phoenix flight a couple of weeks ago for "praying." Discrimination!

Michele Malkin tonight has the latest, quoting Pajamas Media:


Pauline revealed to the Pajamas Media that the six imams were doing things far more suspicious than praying - an Arabic-speaking passenger heard them repeatedly invoke “bin Laden,” and “terrorism,” a gate attendant told the captain that she did not want to fly with them, and that bomb-sniffing dogs were brought aboard. Other Muslim passengers were left undisturbed and later joined in a round of applause for the U.S. Airways crew. “It wasn’t that they were Muslim. It was all of the suspicious things they did,” Pauline said.

Let's see if the media picks this up. Don't count on it.
