  • Let’s see, 5 planes hijacked* by suicidal muslims, most all Egyptian, and crashed with all aboard. None hijacked by anyone else. Cause for even a little bit of profiling? Naaaahhhh… couldn’t be.

    *includes Egypt air flight 990 in 1999.

  • Let’s see, 5,000,000,000 people flying on US planes since 1999 (based on a low ball number of 500,000,000 per year, see http://tinyurl.com/ykbk6hp for current statistics)

    Let’s say .1% of those people were Muslims. (estimates of up to 2% of US population, but we’ll go low)

    So 5,000,000 Muslims flying since 1999.

    ~20 involved in 9/11

    1 involved in flight 990

    So at least 4,999,979 Muslims have managed to fly without hijacking a plane. Seems like we are getting lucky, ban them all!

  • “A passenger … said one …. expressed fundamentalist views.”

    I sure hope this is overturned and we can start kicking all those fundamentalist Christians off of our planes. They are a real threat to this country, and we need to keep them away from us normal Americans. Thank god.

  • Jerry V., I hope you are being sarcastic.

  • Unless the only reason the imams were detained was their Muslim faith – which was clearly not the case- Craig’s comment is inane.
