Poor Republican

Look and listen.

These people just don’t get it.

They get on an airplane in Washington D.C. wearing “Muslim garments.”  They have a conversation in the aisle about where it would be safest to sit if “something happened to the flight.”  Someone looks up upon hearing this, sees what they look like, and mentions it to the flight attendant.  The airline, taking no chances, notifies authorities and the passengers end up removed.

The FBI “clears” them, but the airline says that corporate policy requires them to not allow passengers that have been removed for security reasons to fly.  They didn’t say Muslims.  They didn’t even say for terrorism.  They said for any reason.  Not good enough, say the Muslims and the terrorist apologist group CAIR, which apparently stands for “Council On Ramming Islam Down Your Throat, Using White Guilt and Lawsuits,” although that doesn’t seem to match their acronym, strangely enough.  The “victims” threatened a lawsuit, CAIR filed a “civil rights” complaint, and the airline obediently stuck its tail between its legs and apologized.  This is the standard progression for these things, something they learned from Jesse Jackson’s Monochrome Coalition.

Here’s your problem, Muslims.  After 9/11, we didn’t hear a chorus of apologies from your groups.  We didn’t see Muslims on TV screaming for vengeance against the terrorists.  We saw this:

These are the same people, by the way, that we’re now supposed to feel sorry for in Gaza.  Oh, wait, not according to “American” Muslims…..

Notice anything?  That’s right…you look just like them.  Same features, same garments, same religion.  You even scream the same slogans, like “Nuke Israel” and “there is no Israel.”

Not fair to lump every Muslim in together you say?  Guilt by association?  The same people who say that are the same ones who go all the way back to The Crusades for “proof” that Christians are just as guilty when it comes to killing for religious reasons, even though the last Crusade was about 700+ years ago.  The last major Islamic terrorist attack was, well, yesterday.  They also blame any attacks on abortion clinics or abortion doctors on “right wing religious nuts” but refuse to classify literally hundreds of attacks in the last few years all over the world as belonging to Islam.  Instead, they claim it’s a “tiny minority” and that we’re being racist, intolerant, bigoted, etc.

Here’s how it should work.  If you get on a plane anywhere in the civilized world, but especially in America, and you look and act exactly the same as the people who did 9/11 and then you make comments about things that might “happen to the flight” you deserve exactly what you get.  In fact, you probably deserve a lot more than you get.  You have no consideration for anyone or common sense at best, and you could easily be making a dry run at worst.  The airlines and security personnel should take no chances, and they surely do not owe you an apology, which the airline in this case very stupidly gave.

Take off the scarf, put on some jeans, and don’t make comments about aircraft safety.

It’s not about your “rights,” it’s about common sense and sensitivity on your part in light of recent and ongoing events.

If you won’t have any for us, why should you expect us to have any for you?
