The latest in the [1] US Airways/Imam Rage controversy from [2] AP, with thanks to Twostellas:

...Yesterday, about 100 Muslims gathered in front of the airline's Tempe headquarters to appeal for equal treatment and justice.

The group protested the removal of six Islamic spiritual leaders aboard a flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix last week....

A spiritual leader of the Islamic Community Center of Tempe says the imams (IH'-mahms) are likely to file a discrimination lawsuit against U-S Airways next week.

A U-S Airways spokeswoman says the pilot "absolutely made the right call" in having the men removed from the flight after at least two people complained about their behavior.
