CAIR Encourages Muslims To Sue Airlines

Despite the fact that it was suspicious behavior, not racial profiling, that lead US Airways to ground the six Imams; and despite the growing terror ties of the Imams and CAIR, the race card is being held tight by the lawyers at CAIR. Muslims are being encouraged to file civil rights complaints if they feel they are being discriminated against. One Muslim speaks out, claiming they are “stoking the flames of victimization.”
American Muslims making a religious pilgrimage to Mecca are being encouraged to file civil rights complaints if they feel discriminated against by airlines.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), citing what it called the “airport profiling” of six imams removed from a recent flight, yesterday said Muslims traveling this month to the holy site in Saudi Arabia need to be aware of their rights.
“Given the increase in the number of complaints CAIR has received alleging airport profiling of American Muslims, we believe it is important that all those taking part in this year’s hajj be aware of their legal and civil rights,” said Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR spokesman.
The group has established a toll-free hot line (800/784-7526) for victims of “flying while Muslim,” as Muslims have begun departing for the weeklong hajj, a once-in-a-lifetime obligation to visit the holy city of Mecca, which this year begins Dec. 29.
But M. Zuhdi Jasser, a Phoenix physician and chairman of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD), said the announcement by CAIR “continues the tired stoking of the flames of victimization.”
“They are unfortunately exploiting, for purely political reasons, what should be a sacred and purely spiritual story of our faith’s annual holy pilgrimage to Mecca,” Dr. Jasser said.
“We need new leadership and organizations which use their passions and the bandwidth of the media to lead the ideological fight against radical and political Islam rather than this tired pre-emption of supposed discrimination.”
“Flying While Muslim”? Give me a break! If you purposefully leave your original seating to sit in the pattern the 911 hijackers sat it, ask for seat belt extensions and place them on the floor, talk crap about the United States loudly, etc…I don’t care what religion or race you are. You need kicked off the plane.
And so the PC War against our airlines and security continues.
Others: Atlass Shrugs:
The six terror imams are suing and CAIR is encouraging all Muslims to harass and test airline security. Let the terror games begin.
The Council on American Islamic Relations, apparently oblivious to the public relations disaster that their trumped up Flying Imams controversy is becoming for them, is pressing on, asking Muslims flying on their way to Mecca to lodge complaints against airlines if their complementary pretzels are stale.
The regular office number won’t do. So pervasive and insidious is this scourge that they have to clear an entire phone line for it. Or so they’d have you believe.
The American Pundit is on the same page.
Scared Monkeys wonders if Could CAIR want to be the Islamic ACLU? It is looking like it.
Cassandra at Villanous Company spoofs on the hotline number and makes a list of “rights”. Heh.
More evidence that the case of the Six Traveling Imams was a set-up by the imams to set the stage for this kind of effort.
CAIR is so concerned about an imminent plague of “Islamophobia†that they’ve set up a special toll-free telephone line to handle the expected flood of complaints.
They are simply the political wing of Al Qaeda, and I can’t wait until they’re official declared a terrorist organization.
I don’t know who Ace expects to do that. Didn’t you hear about the judge that ruled he has no authority to do so?

Travelers should be alert. This is a set up job by the CAIRing folks at CAIR. Report ANYTHING suspicious. Your life might depend on it.

Um, shouldn’t everyone? If you honestly feel you have been discriminated against, why not file a complaint? How else would you identify trends if individuals don’t make their feelings known?
Yes, it seems like the airlines took appropriate action given their alleged behavior. What does that have to do with whether or not they are justified in looking out for discrimination? Heck, there are a lot of people that openly advocate such discrimination.
