I understand completely your standpoint about abiding by the rules
and all that, point I was trying to make is that you cannot demmand
someone off the plane just because their funny look, case which exactly happen here in a cse of Brits going back from holidays.

Those Imams in US went little bit off, so probably they had to be warned publicly by captain and that's about it.

These poor students were not screaming Alah or anything like that,
yet they were escorted off the plane. Only suspicious point about them
was color of their skin and their charcteristic Arab/MidEastern look. So their right to fly (paid ticket) was groselly abused because some bunch of spinsters form Manchester got overexcited/scarred

Once you let massive parannoya grossly abuse rights of particular group of people you well on the road to 50ies not to say 30ies.

This global maddness invlicted on the rest of the world by US/UK simply has to stop. Things simply have to calm down.



>All very amusing Srdjan but I believe "when in Rome ..." I have travelled in Eqypt, by 2nd classs train, from Cairo to Luxor, the train full of arabs and I enjoyed their company, conversation, the atmosphere, the catering - everything. Similarly if I were in Pakistan and wanted to fly then I'd expect to be the odd man out, and abide by their rules (I wouldn't be so white either!). I tend to "go native" when I travel and spend a great deal of effort getting to know the locals.

>Now this is a different case: these imans were apparently going out of their was to be provocative. If I were on a predominantly muslim flight and started genuflecting, crossing myself repeatedly, reciting "Hail Mary's" (not that I'm Catholic or religious) I'd expect to get myself noticed for the wrong reasons

>>>Tell you what - call it selfishness, if you like, or whatever - but if I'm on my way on holiday, with my family, and a group of weirdos are creeping me out about the flight, and I'm concerned for our safety, it's not gonna be me who volunteers to take another flight; I'm gonna do my darndest to get *them* off!

>>If u embark on some PakistanAirWays inner country flight

>>Hw wld you like if they parashuted you out next to Afganistan border ?!?

>>... No No Sorry, Mr McDonnel we cannot let you fly any second longer,
>>because excursion of about 100 Imams at the back of a plain is gonna hv collective heart attack, due to your funny pale-white look. They believe you swalowed plastic explosive and you gonna burst any minute...

>>You know, safety and all that...
>>I think that you as civilised EU Citisen wld understand their

>>Just kidding of course, but I think you took it already to the *next level*.

>>Similar storry (without parashuting) happened here in Cyprus as well when group of Brits refused to fly along with few Pakistani students. So students were taken off the plane, molested little bit at the airport security quarters and then flown on a first next available flight. Do you really find it nice & dandy ?
