They were chanting "Allah, Allah, Allah," as they were led away from the plane. "6 Passengers Pulled From U.S. Air Flight in Twin Cities After Crew Sees 'Suspicious Activity,'" from AP, with thanks to all who sent this in:
MINNEAPOLIS — Six passengers of Middle Eastern decent were removed from a US Airways flight Monday at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and taken for questioning by police, an airport spokesman said.The passengers had just boarded US Airways flight 300, bound for Phoenix, when crew members "saw suspicious activity" by the men and called airport police, said the spokesman, Pat Hogan. Police escorted the men off the plane and took them to be questioned, he said.
And from "Federal investigators questioning six Middle Eastern men removed from flight at MSP," from KSTP.com (thanks again to all who sent this in):
Sources tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that the men were chanting 'Allah, Allah, Allah,' as they were transported down the jetway.Late Monday, federal investigators were still trying to determine exactly who the men are. One source tells 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that the men said that they were in town for the weekend for a religious conference.

Now jeez louise just because 6 Middle Eastern men are pulled from a flight chanting Allah Allah Allah doesnt make the suicide bombers or anything. They are probably just Syrian Musicians...yea thats it Syrian Musicians...hehe.
Donald Sensing still working to discredit Anne Jacobsens article and doing it poorly!

If these six men were acting suspicious, It's because they wanted to look suspicious, so that security would pull them off the plane. Their "Allah, Allah, Allah" routine as they were being lead off the plane tells me they arrived at the airport with an agenda.
I wonder where this will lead?

Well,
I'm sure they won't have any problem catching a cab.
Posted by: PRCS at November 21, 2006 12:16 AM
Let me see...
"Allah, Allah, Allah..."
I'm sure they were just trying to sing, "Jingle Bells" for everyone, but they didn't know the words...

They're just warming us up for the Thanksgiving travel rush. They're always so courteous and respectful of our holidays. I expect we'll be seeing much more of this in the coming days, followed by CAIR's anguished and indignant protests of racial profiling and islamophobia.
It would be so nice if the damn muslims could take a sabbatical from their incessant "religious" conferences, seminars, and meetings, or hold them on another planet. I'm sick of hordes of muslims travelling to jihad conferences during our holiday season and screwing up air travel for thousands of people. I will never forgive them for turning ordinary air travel into a hellish nightmare.
Somebody help me here; what are muslims good for?
Posted by: Susanp at November 21, 2006 12:45 AM
The " Allah, Allah, Allah " thing sounds like deliberate taunting to me. instead of trying to assure people that there is nothing to fear from them , these Muslims play on the stereotype and play on our fears. it's a disgusting way to show that Islam is not a threat. and i'm sure in the Typical Muslim way they wil find a way to condemn us for trying to protect ourselves.very sympathic. it's disgusting!

Thank you LBJ and Teddy Kennedy for all the muslim immigrants we now have to spend money and time on, just to have our daily routines wrecked. Thanks, thanks a lot.

Undoubtedly these Allah-bots are cruising to Minneapolis to minster to the Somali taxi drivers who refuse to drive passengers who carry a bottle of wine or use a seeing eye dog
When you are an Allah-bot the world is your oyster. You can terrorize them but while they (being PC) do not terrorize you. You will always have a refuge in a false prophet and a phony baloney gawd

Yes. They were on their way to meet Allah. They missed their flight though.

Oh geez, as if it wasn't enough to be flying next to crying babies, now we are supposed to listen as the Muslims put out their prayer mats and start uulating and wailing "Allahu Akbar!"? What's next? Are the Baptists going to start singing and clapping and dancing in the aisles, the Jehovah Witnesses are going to walk up and down the aisles handing out Bibles, etc.? Why can't the Muslims just sit quietly in their seats for 120 frickin' minutes, like everyone else in the world does?
Good for US Airways for sticking to their guns (so to speak) and not giving into CAIR's bluster and bullying. Let's see if CAIR's lawsuit does any better than their previous failures. What are they now, 0 for 3 and counting?

A few years ago I saw a muslim comedian video on the internet telling jokes about scaring air line passengers. It is all planned to use as a propaganda tool.
at November 21, 2006 4:09 AM
rational, DUGGY, and herself,
I'm in agreement with you three. This is all planned, of course. That way they can cry "racism" as usual. We'll see plenty more of this crap in the future.
special_guest,
I almost wouldn't mind if the Baptists and Jehovah's Witnesses did their "thing" on the plane. That way, I would know who I could trust!
Posted by: SpongeMom at November 21, 2006 4:32 AM
(Three of them stood and said their normal evening prayers together on the plane)

Everyone knows that Imans dont have the testicular fortitude for Jihad. So they need not of worried over these. They like to convince others to do their dirty work.
Unfortuantly this will play into the hands of the leftists in congress who want to make it against the law to look at a Muslim. You wont even be able to report a Muslim with a bomb strapped to himself without being thrown in prison.

(Shahin, president of the group, North American Imams Federation, Shahin said. He attributed any concerns by passengers or crew to ignorance about Islam.)
Thats the way most of would like to keep it to. But your shoving it down our throats.
"They took us off the plane, humiliated us in a very disrespectful way," said Omar Shahin
Thats the problem with Muslims they have'nt learned to humble themselves. Once you do maybe youll get some respect.
"Shahin expressed frustration that — despite extensive efforts by him and other Muslim leaders since even before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks — so many Americans know so little about Islam."
And thats the way we would like to keep it to.
But alas, thats not the way it is. Why do you think you got thrown off the plane? Let me give you a clue. We dont trust you. You see, were learning were learning.
And maybe one day when we have learned enough, Intead of throwing you off the plane we will throw you on another plane. Back to where you came from. Once we start doing that I'll be able to say we have learned our lesson.

TRANSLATION:
Downunder News Service by Sheik yer'mami:
6 Middle-Eastern-hatepreachers of the Mohammedan faith were taken off a plane because they kept shouting 'Allah-bubu-snackbar'-
Who needs that kind of advertisement?
As a footnote perhaps we should add that all 6 of them looked like Santa imitations, only with frizzy black beards and weird turbans, they wore the headchoppers-type pijama's and no other passengers were willing to put up with that s*#t...!
They were handcuffed and locked up.
Anybody miss them call the local gaol at: ......................

"Shahin expressed frustration that — despite extensive efforts by him and other Muslim leaders since even before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks — so many Americans know so little about Islam."
Wrong...it's because of all that we DO know that they were booted off the plane.
"Because, unfortunately, this is a growing problem of singling out Muslims or people perceived to be Muslims at airports, and it's one that we've been addressing for some time."
Just keep endorsing the worldwide jihad killings, you nasty imams you, and soon profiling will be mandatory for you and your ilk.
at November 21, 2006 6:31 AM
While it may be unfortunate if innocent people are occasionly inconvenienced, I think that muslims in America have to realize that though to them there prayers may be sacred that to any non-muslim, a group of 6 middle eastern men chanting allah akhbar on an airplane is not a good sign for a uneventful flight.
Sure a billion people do this repeatedly every day, but on an airplane for god's sake, have some damn sense. If a terrorist yells allah akhbar etc before attacking and blowing up a plane, bus, car, person, building whatever then why on earth would any sane muslim board a plane chanting about allah.
They need to use some common sense.

In other words, they were doing the muslim equivalent of bringing the nazi salute.

Not in that part of the country. Seems to be a rapidly growing hotbed for Islamic activists.
That's why Democrats campaign in that area alot.
No doubt Nancy Pelosi will protect her vote base.
Democrats even allow Islamic activists to use constituency offices as bases to launch their Islamic propaganda from.
Sad that Democrats are so completely blind to the danger this country is in from the growing Islamic fundamentalism setting up in this country.
Posted by: Mullahmasher at November 21, 2006 7:10 AM
Latest info from Minneapolis (KSTP radio):
The Muslims got on the plane chanting "Allah, Allah", speaking Arabic, and chanting antiamerican slogans in English. They refused to obey the instructions of the flight crew and were verbally abusive. Among other things, one demanded a seat-belt extender although he had no need for it.
When questioned by the FBI, several of them were found to be carrying multiple IDs.
They have been released (!) but won't be allowed to fly on USAir.
(It is NOT true that they refused to place their goats in the overhead bins.)

Posted by: Susanp
Hmmmm. When I read your question, I thought i would be able to come up with a couple good smart-alec answers. But when you really give it some serious thought, Whaat ARE they good for?
All they do is cause misery everywhere they go.
They are constantly playing "victim" where ever their numbers are small, or they are causing civil unrest, killing, rioting, burning, protesting, where ever their numbers are getting near the "sateration point", and where their numbers have passed that point, there is genocide, mass murder, rape, women covered and shut in their homes, economic disaster, and of course the UN, who does all they can to squeeze money out of the west so they can feed them, buy more guns, tanks, helecopters, Explosives and RPG's so they can spread "peaceful Islam" to the next country.
It's long past time that the UN was shut down and the nations of this world wake up to the growing Islamic crusade that is gathering strength all across the world, and shut it down before it gets more costly to do do.
Posted by: Mullahmasher at November 21, 2006 7:28 AM
Apparently it's their allah who's at fault. I'm sure if their allah was a forgiving god, he would have let the muslim males skip that one prayer.
The muslims are making too much noise. All they have to do is stop and reflect, and realize they are what is causing the problems. They never shut up. I'm sure constantly complaining is their custom, but we tend to raise an eyebrow over all this fussing they do. They cry that we don't understand why they pray..and yet, before they kill you they start screaming their god's name.
You're in our culture. You're not in your own home. Realize it, respect it and get over it.
Posted by: freewoman at November 21, 2006 7:39 AM
It appears likely that the Muslims "holy men" were intent on demonstrating their disdain for the infidels and that they (the Muslims) were asserting their superiority and dominance over said unbelievers.
This incident appears completely contrived and designed to set up yet another propaganda campaign orchestrated by CAIR and the other usual suspects.
Just watch the Minnesota authorities crumble.
at November 21, 2006 7:46 AM
Who has an accurate count on the number of Muslims in the world? I've seen 1.2 billion, 1.3 billion, a billion and a half. Now I see in the Red Star (the Caliphate of Minnesota's main paper better known as the Star Tribune) they're up to 1.7 billion! I know the number after the decimal is kind of splitting hairs except that number represents 100 million-a sizable number on its own. They really must be breeding like roaches to grow THAT much!

"I never felt bad in my life like that," he said. "I never. Six imams. Six leaders in this country. Six scholars in handcuffs. It's terrible."
Beheadings are terrible. Flying planes into buildings is terrible. Desecrating churches is terrible. Kidnapping scholars from the University of Bagdhad is terrible. Rioting, burning and murdering over cartoons is terrible. Taking six muslims chanting and praying off a plane is not terrible - it is common sense !
The imam refers to these men as " six leaders in this country". To me a leader is someone who is duly elected by the citizens of a country, not an imam. Although they may soon be one and the same.

This may be what saves us in the end. I say, let them keep making noise, let them keep causing problems, until everyone gets so sick and tired of it we will finally rise up and say "Enough !"

Re: Are the Baptists going to start singing and clapping and dancing in the aisles, the Jehovah Witnesses are going to walk up and down the aisles handing out Bibles, etc.?
Being a Christian of the Pentecostal persuasion, let me reassure you that we Pentecostals won't be rolling in the aisles or bringing any snakes (for handling) aboard. :-).
Hopefully, the FBI can ascertain why the imams were carrying multiple IDs. One good thing is that there are 6 more people to add to the no-fly list...and to keep an eye on here in the states.
Posted by: eve_anne_gelical at November 21, 2006 8:33 AM
Welcome aboard flight 291 ladies and gentlemen. Use caution when opening the overhead bins as bags may shift during the flight and also the immams praying in the isle may become airborne during unexpected turbulance causing injury to other passengers. Those of you with toilet emergencies may find it difficult to walk in the isle due to praying muslims but you must remember that interfering with a praying muslim is punishable by federal law. Please remember to remain in your seat during their all important prayer time.....sheesh.
Posted by: pismopal at November 21, 2006 9:44 AM
If they want to invoke the praying out loud to frighten method, two can play that game. They start their BS, everybody on the plane stand up and start singing Christmas carols, all together now, away in a manger… Watch the horror on their faces. You could also flash a small cross at them as you pass by their seat, you know, like they do to Dracula. Don’t let them frighten you, show them that you know what they are up to and you don’t like it.
at November 21, 2006 10:31 AM
And listing to Minnesota Public Radio this morning they were “fair and balanced” enough to feature a lengthy phone interview with CAIR’s Mr. Hooper…. No other views or expert opinions were featured. Not surprising for public radio but disappointing nonetheless.

Thanks, US Airways for thinking of the safety of Americans ahead of the so-called rights of Islamic fundamentalists who had behind the institutions of freedom that they so despise!
If we dont stand for something, we will fall for anything! Activist Muslims with Islamist agendas need to be exposed and monitored and the reactions of these Islamist passengers to their justifiable ejection from the US Airways only confirms their ignoble agendas!
