Muslim Leaders Say U.S. Pilot Refused to Fly With Them Onboard - FoxNews.com

"...dressed in traditional Indian clothing and his traveling companion was dressed in Arab garb, including traditional headgear."

Then they play the victim card:

"It's racism and bias because of our religion and appearance and because of misinformation about our religion." Rahman said. "If they understood Islam, they wouldn't do this."

That's just it - the pilot does understand Islam! Good for him for sticking to his guns and refusing to fly with these troublemakers aboard his plane. If they are living in the US, why would they insist on appearing like they're still in the Middle East? Do they think that's going to get them accepted here?

This will unfairly cost Delta to settle...

So I take it you don't mind business owners putting up signs that say "NO DARKIES ALLOWED"?

You ever work a bar? A bar keep can toss out or refuse service to any one on a whim.

How does that relate to the discussion?

It's not the skin color that is the issue, or didn't you get that?

Racism? Islam is not a race. It is a (gutter) religion. Any religion that says it is okay to fly a plane in a building does not deserve any respect in my opinion.

Good? Well I hope Delta makes it policy no islamics will fly ever. And Until no islamics fly on any American Airline, ever. Let them ride camels. It's far safer in the first place.

Good for the Pilot. I think he should be awarded the highest medal of honor.
