@William Teach: What does it matter? You just gave me two different versions, so whose to say that what I said is actually what Franklin said? And obviously you missed the point. It doesn’t matter how you THINK other people should feel around Muslims wishing to express themselves (and if you become afraid around Muslims, I seriously feel sorry for you), this is the United States, and what that airline did was wrong.

@Libs Suck: I’m surprised the people who run this place haven’t deleted your comments, you clever troll.

Hey Mr. Teach,

Thanks for correcting us “folks on the left.” I find it fascinating that your “corrected” quotes aren’t sourced. You might be interested in knowing that your second Franklin quote is fake. The complete repository of attributed Franklin quotes is on the web at http://www.franklinpapers.org and it is text-searchable. You will search in vain for

“The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either.”

Hey, it would be funny if the Arabic T-shirt translated to “Iraqis for Bush” or “Arabs Against al-Qaeda.”

Hey if an airline can refuse entry to a woman wearing clothing deemed “too revealing” and “offensive to other passengers”, then why not a shirt with the language that most triggers fear in airline passengers?

Last I looked the airlines are allowed to control their passenger’s dress code as well as their behavior.

Oh wait! You just elected a terrorist sympathizer and supporter as president. This ought to be fun!

Hey, you’re kind of dumb man.

Man I just love these people who compare a arab to a Christian, or even a Japanese person. Hey you idiots, no Christians or Japanense have flown Airliners into tall buidlings on our soil lately! Wake the freak up you ignorant fools.
Arabs are the ones carrying out terrorist acts all over the world, people who read, and speak, and wear Arabic. Let’s look for terrorists, and those who show signs of being terrorists. Those would be people who are Arabs, and are on planes promoting that they are Arabs. The TSA did not create these terrorists. Jet Blue did not make the facts what they are. It is because of people like you, like Bill Clinton, like the communist ACLU like so many others that did nothing, that do nothing for our security that got us 9-11 in the first place. You all have great suggestions AFTER the disasters. Time to let the adults run things for a while. Oh wait! You just elected a terrorist sympathizer and supporter as president. This ought to be fun!

I saw a guy wearing a T-shirt with Japanese script. He was probably a Kamikaze pilot, planning to crash a plane on a battleship.

We’re not at war with the Arabic language, people. Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t necessarily mean it’s scary and evil, OK?

I know, I know, everybody should just be white and speak English. If the English language was good enough for Jesus Christ, it’s good enough for me, right?

Some people should get out more, and learn something about the world.

Hey Louis Moron, you are a very ignorant person. I bet Jet Blue will fly you free of charge over to Gaza to be with your friends, and leave you there. You can even wear any shirt you want on the flight!

people get concerned when a Muslim wearing a tshirt with Arabic type writing on it is present.

That’s fine, but take a second to think about how ridiculously easy it would have been to allay those concerns without abridging anyone’s speech.

- TSA staffer snaps picture with a cellphone
- TSA staffer sends picture to an on-call translator
- Translator confirms that the Arabic message matches the English message
- TSA staffer realizes that the not threatening
- TSA staffer conveys that to the flight crew and allows the passenger through
- Flight crew informs any concerned passengers that everything has double-checked.

That’s a very, very small price to pay to avoid jeopardizing one of the most important constitutional clauses.

As we enter 2009 and the Obama years ahead, we will be trading our freedom for socialism in disguise of Government security and big bailouts- as the left will start to control us and take our freedom. So, if you agree with the left, then you don’t deserve your freedom or your security. Stupid Libs-
