We Don't Discriminate!! Yeah Right!!

Six Muslim imams were removed from a flight in Minneapolis yesterday after a passenger on the flight wrote a note to a flight attendant. They were removed from the plane, arrested, and interrogated for hours by police until they were released.

We don't discriminate. No, not quite!! This happens every single day in this country, and we only get to hear a few of the stories. So what happened here? Apparently the six imams started saying their evening prayers on the flight before it took off and perhaps someone got the idea that they were about to do something. What a crock!! You know damn well that nobody on that flight would have been alarmed or offended if a Christian would have started praying on the flight. Nobody would have been offended or alarmed if a Jewish person started praying on the flight. So why is it that people are alarmed or offended if Muslims pray on a flight? Oh that's right, they must be praying because they must be getting ready to engage in terrorism. Afterall, Muslims are only capable of one thing right? They're only capable of being terrorists.

This is the exact kind of mentality that causes these incidents to happen. This country has become so ignorant to the facts about Islam and Muslims. This country has become so paranoid about Muslims. This country has gone so far off the deep end that there's no hope of ever changing. So let me spell this out for you people.

MUSLIMS AREN'T ANY DIFFERENT THAN YOU OR ME. ALL MUSLIMS AREN'T TERRORISTS. ALL MUSLIMS AREN'T CRIMINALS. JUST BECAUSE A MUSLIM IS PRAYING ON AN AIRPLANE DOESN'T MEAN THAT SAID MUSLIM IS ABOUT TO ENGAGE IN TERRORISM. THE MUSLIM IS SIMPLY PRAYING. YOU DO IT. I DO IT. JUST BECAUSE A MUSLIM DOES IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT HE OR SHE HAS A SINISTER PLOT BREWING IN HIS OR HER HEAD. STOP YOUR BIGOTED, RACIST ATTITUDES AND START SEEING PEOPLE AS PEOPLE. STOP JUMPING TO THE MOST RIDICULOUS CONCLUSIONS WHENEVER YOU SEE A MUSLIM. THEY'RE NOT THE ENEMY. UNTIL PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY DO THAT, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE INCIDENTS LIKE THIS HAPPEN. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE GROWING FRUSTRATION AND ANGER AMONG THE MUSLIM POPULATION BECAUSE THEY'RE BEING TREATED LIKE ABSOLUTE GARBAGE FOR NO REASON. THEY'RE BEING TREATED LIKE GARBAGE BECAUSE WE'RE PARANOID, BIGOTED, RACIST ASSHOLES IN THIS COUNTRY. GET A LIFE AND LEAVE MUSLIMS ALONE. THEY'RE TRYING TO LIVE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IS, AND WE'RE NOT MAKING IT ANY EASIER WHEN WE'RE CONSTANTLY BEING SUSPICIOUS FOR NO REASON. WE'RE NOT MAKING IT ANY EASIER FOR THEM WHEN THEY GET SINGLED OUT FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN TO HUMILIATE THEM. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, GET A LIFE!!

Kudos to the Council on American-Islamic Relations. I'm proud that they're going to file a complaint. Kudos to them for refusing to let this blatantly bigoted incident go. The airline should be held accountable for their actions, and they should face consequences for what they did. As I already stated, they would have never had a Christian or a Jewish person arrested for praying on a flight. They took some paranoid passenger's note, and ran with their bigoted attitude towards these six imams. Perhaps the airlines need a little education as well. I'm not sure it would do any good. But perhaps they need to get educated instead of spewing their bigoted attitudes for everyone to see.
