Dallas Muslim Leader: ‘Airports Are a Scary Place for Muslims,’ Thanks in Part to Trump

Sep 26, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media:

Dallas-based imam Omar Suleiman, a professor at Southern Methodist University, said Thursday that “airports are a scary place for Muslims. Especially with the rhetoric of the president.” Apparently it is Donald Trump’s fault that a couple of Muslims were taken off an airplane for behaving suspiciously.

But speaking of scary air travel, imagine how scary air travel was for the passengers on American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 77, and United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. Imagine how scary air travel was for the passengers on the American Airlines flight that was sabotaged just last week by a Muslim mechanic who spoke about wanting to harm non-Muslims.

But never mind all that. What prompted Suleiman’s fearful remark was a recent incident on an American Airlines flight: the Dallas Morning News reported that “two Dallas-area Muslim men say their American Airlines flight was canceled because the crew ‘didn’t feel comfortable’ after they waved to one another boarding a flight from Birmingham, Ala., to DFW International Airport.”

They waved at one another, and were thrown off a flight! Oh, the Islamophobia! The racism!

And it only gets worse: “When they got off, they said they were trailed by law enforcement officers, interviewed by an FBI agent and had their bags searched again by TSA during their trip Saturday.”

The two Muslims, Abderraoof Alkhawaldeh, whom the Dallas Morning News describes as “a Muslim motivational speaker,” and “Dallas nonprofit leader” Issam Abdallah, charged racial profiling and spoke to the media at the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Alkhawaldeh and Abdallah “said they want to talk with the airline’s leaders about their treatment and what they say is an increasing number of cases of discrimination against Arabs and Muslims.”

Abdallah was distraught: “It was the most humiliating day of my life.” Alkhawaldeh raged: “This is absurd, unacceptable and un-American.”

There is much more. Read the rest here.

    CAIR wants to destroy the watchlist system.

    • Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says

      Sep 27, 2019 at 3:05 am

      The first image reads “3.5 Muslims in U.S., 5,000 Americans on list, <0.0014% of U.S. Muslims are on the watch list". The arithmetic here is wrong. 5,000/3,500,000 = 0.0014285 = 0.14285% = one seventh of one percent.

        The Koran also has bad arithmetic. Allah’s sums of fractions all add up to more than 1. ‘Allah’ failed second grade math.

          allah also fails at Astronomy and the Anatomy and Physiology behind human reproductive Biology:see “scientific mistakes in the quran” on You tube.

          allah would not likely pass a modern Biology exam.

          And don’t ever say “three” to allah….

          “Say not “three” Cease!It is better for you” says allah desperately in koran 4:171
          {But of course one of the “three” is God’s Holy Spirit and allah doesn’t want muslims to know about that as then they would see how false allah’s pagan Arab wisdom is.It is better for muslims they don’t know.
          Laughably ,allah apparently seems to think Mary is part of the Trinity….so we see allah FAILS Theology too}

          allah fails Science,Mathematics and Theology….this won’t stop islamic apologists telling you about the incredible scientific insights in the koran
          {The Moon split in two:When?How could the sun,an enormous celestial object,set in a muddy pool?..does it wear swimming trunks too?}

          infidel:Hey allah?How many sides does a three-sided Triangle have?3?
          allah:Cease!say not “three”.It is better for you!
          infidel:sure allah…whatever you say..Yeah, i guess it is better to avoid Logic and Reason….

    • Alexious Comnenus says

      Sep 26, 2019 at 10:09 pm

      Yes. Thats the real truth! It is not because of Trump, but because of the political islam, which is not a religion to begin with. It was a time when we could walk our guests to the airplane’s doors.. Following so many terrorist attacks and bombs and many innocent lives claimed by the islamic animals and barbarians, today, it is pretty stressful to walk through an airport and see muslimas or men in islamic clothes. Who’s fault is-Trump’s fault? Nope! It is the fault of these barbarians who wants to destroy the entire world. And if they are nit happy here, they all should pack and back. But most of them enjoy the social assistance offered by the infidels.

        Scary places: All places are scary when it comes Islamic terrorism for non Muslims Airports and most all other public places from stadiums , schools,conference halls , churches , hotels, streets, to….I could go on and on BUT I’m sure everyone knows this…
        I wonder how many of our dollars has been used just for security since 9/11, all caused by the world’s most violent people…Muslims..Oh I know that the Muslim population and their appeasers will say that this is not the real Islam…bunk…Unless the Muslims who have the power to change the teachings in Islam..change it, then I will always state that. MUSLIMS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT UNCARING PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!!!!!

        ep, she (and Impeach the MF’r Tlaib) was trying to portray muslims as victims post-9/11 when she made the “some people did something’ comment, saying that is why CAIR was formed.

        If that were true, you would think CAIR would have taken care to avoid any kind of ties with known terrorist organizations, but no.

    If airports are so “scary”…stop going there, stop flying on planes, go somewhere else where you can feel like you are the people in charge and can make all non moslims afraid of you.

    non moslims have said things in airports…because of what moslims have actually done…using the word “bomb” and faced all kinds of interrogation, detainment, etc., just for saying one or two words connected with terror. Even if it’s in the form of a question, speech has to be guarded, or the non moslim is in trouble.

    These moslims are like all the rest of cair…make trouble, get caught, whine, make claims of fear and discrimination, meet with the “leaders” and then sue.
    These have put the words President Trump in their whine fest so as to gain more attention and cause more of an uproar. They certainly don’t want him to be re-elected, and so are adding him to their complaint in order to influence others not to vote for him.

    • mortimer says

      Sep 26, 2019 at 6:48 pm

      Scary? SCARY? For Muslims? Please tell us WHO IS THREATENING MUSLIMS at an airport? Are there terrorists trying to blow up airplanes that have lots of Muslims and do those terrorists fly those planes into buildings? No there no terrorists targeting Muslims at airports.

      That is entirely subjective fantasy.

      • somehistory says

        Sep 26, 2019 at 7:26 pm

        I did not say they are scared. I said they should not go to airports, fly on planes, etc. as opposed to pretending they are scared. Just because I said, “if” they are doesn’t mean I think they are. In fact, I know they are not.
        When people are scared, they change their behavior. These creeps don’t want to change their behavior, they want the rest of us to change.

        Sep 26, 2019 at 10:15 pm

        I agree with you. What we hear daily is about islam and islamophobia. In US we hear about those congresswomen muslimas who criticize America daily. How could an American vote for these traitors and islamic tools? Those are the worse enemies of America. These few muslimas simply do their jib they were prepared for. The stupid Americans and many millennials play in their favor without knowing they are just cleverly used by these false Americans.

      I can’t recall a situation where a fat, wig-wearing old white guy caused (or planned) the crashing of a UAE or Kuwaiti passenger jet populated predominantly with muslims. These guys are usually at home napping or out on a golf cart. I could be wrong of course.

    …………………..

    Ah…right. This has nothing to do with increased airport security for *everyone* after Abderraoof Alkhawaldeh and Issam Abdallah’s coreligionists slaughtered almost 3000 Americans 18 years ago. Instead, it must all be Trump’s fault! sarc/off

      Excellent point. THE best answer to the “problem” will have to come from action within their community.

      • Dan says

        Sep 27, 2019 at 12:23 am

        Which ain’t gonna happen.

        Muslim law says you protect family against all.

        Can’t remember the name of the woman, but she wrote a book about leaving islam, and said, as a kid, her family lineage was smacked into them so, when muslims first meet, they recite their lineage, and if they find ONE COMMON ANCESTOR, they’re family, and must defend each other against anybody not family.

        No, rarely, Muslims cannot disavow the JIHAD DOCTRINE, because 51% of the Islamic source texts are political and most of that is about jihad against disbelievers.

        HOW TO MAKE ISLAM TOLERANT AND NON-VIOLENT: REMOVE 51% OF FOUNDATIONAL TEXTS … so what quantity of POLITICAL text are speaking of??

        -51% of Islamic foundationalTrilogy is political.
        -hadiths 37% devoted to the kafir problem=political
        -Koran 64% devoted to the kafir problem=political
        -Sira 81% devoted to the kafir problem=political
        -51% of all words in Islam devoted to the kafir problem=548,190 words in Trilogy are political

        So, rarely, how can they remove 51% of their source texts? They can’t. Islam cannot be ‘reformed’. We have to convince Muslims to abandon it.

    Goes to show how the Airlines are stuck in the middle between facts (that Muslim males are way more likely to hijack or blow up a plane) and the “see how we’re ALWAYS victims” Muslims and their lawyers. They have to respond to a call or concern and they have to suck up the cost.

    Not as scary as it is for us infidels aboard aeroplanes with ..muslim pilots.

    Especially given that islamic tendency to fly planes into buildings ,mass-murdering innocent people,something their “prophet” muhammed {whose sunnah or example muslims must follow..}excelled at{Abu Dawud 4390}

    maybe muslims should have their own planes:

    “We need like 5,000 Muslims to run for office this next cycle to short-circuit the bigots’ power-grid,” Saddiqi tweeted.
    Praising known criminal and adulterer Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Siddiqi added, “This was a perfect test case for what the system is designed to do to Muslim candidates – and Ilhan is bearing the brunt of the entire political system on her shoulders.”

    These are the exact words, plans in the Qur’an of every Muslim. This is what they want to do to US when they are frustrated they call US racist, hypocrites, disbeliever, pagans. Play the overused victim card
    Qur’an Chapter 36. Ya-Seen (Ya-Seen) In the name of AL-Lah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. Ya, Seen. 2. By the Wise Quran. 3. You are one of the messengers. 4. On a straight path. 5. The revelation of the Almighty, the Merciful. 6. To warn a people whose ancestors were not warned, and so they are unaware. 7. The Word was realized against most of them, for they do not believe. 8. We placed shackles around their necks, up to their chins, so they are stiff-necked. 9. And We placed a barrier in front of them, and a barrier behind them, and We have enshrouded them, so they cannot see. 10. It is the same for them, whether you warn them, or do not warn them-they will not believe.

    They’re a scary place for ALL other travellers thanks to the dingbat, retarded Muslims!! Actually they shouldn’t be using Airports, because under Islamic LAW, ALL modern things have to be rejected as haram. No air travel, no computers, no modern medicines, (apparently some dates & a couple of spices are all that are needed), hospitals, cars, TV sets, watches, & all the rest. Take them ALL back to the Middle East & they can live in Saudi Arabia. Note Well……. no Muslim refugees are in Saudi, bar a few millionaires from Syria.

    The airport security started under Bush.

    Muslims should be followed and scrutinized anywhere within 1000 feet of an airplane.

    The “moderate” Muslims need to be the ones who prevent the others from injuring anyone. Muslims need to report Muslims who plan to commit violence.

    Then airports will not be scary places for people.

    The irrational beliefs that Muslims hold have scared them so much that their behaviour makes other people scared of them… makes me wonder then who really suffers from Islamophobia…
