Report: 2 escorted off Boston plane

A plane headed to Chicago was brought back to the gate at Logan Airport, after some passengers — who also participated in the marathon — expressed concern over two men, who were apparently not sitting next to each other but were speaking in Arabic, Fox 25 reports. The men were escorted off the plane.

two men, not sitting together, speaking arabic is grounds to say something and turn the plane around and force them off the plane?

I think think people are remembering 9-11 one and 9-11 2 and of course are still in shock from Boston. Americans are human too you know.

Hey wait..........

Didn't Tim McVeigh and Eric Rudolph speak English??

Oh shit, I just typed that IN English. Come and get me, coppers.

If these two were capable of speaking english,and I'm assuming they are. It was monumental stupidity to speak Arabic under the circumstances.
They had to have known it would make people uncomfortable.
I'm sure there will be a lawsuit in the near future.

Looks like you just took two different positions ... -- unless you mean there should not be a lawsuit and that people should be compelled to speak a specific language?

I dunno but any kind of linguistic fascism is wrong, period. If people are spooked by hearing Arabic, then let 'em go learn Arabic so they understand it. Either that or just get over their silly neuroses and figure out that if these two guys were up to no good, then drawing attention to themselves beforehand would be counterproductive.

You really have to appreciate what a great Country this is. It hasn't been that long after 9-11 and the day of a horrific bombing young men who were apparently yelling to each other in Arabic on a plane were merely escorted off the plane. If the opposite were true and Americans scared mid-eastern people on a plane they would be quietly shot behind the hanger or tortured in some hell hole.

Not good... Not good at all! I can see the shell-shocked marathoners P.O.V. but if this was done just because two foreigners were speaking their nation's language then this is an atrocity! I hope there's more to this(No other details were immediately available) or those 2 deserve compensation...

Bullshit.

You're a linguistic fascist willing to use fear to intimidate. That kind of thinking is what this country was founded as a haven from.
Go live in North Fucking Korea where they like that kind of shit.

They were escorted off the plane. If you illegally cross the NK border you face 15 years in a frozen hell hole. Christians are tortured and killed in Africa and the Mid East. . Get some freaking perspective.

I had all the perspective I needed from you when you suggested I was waiting for my friend to die so I could have her stuff. So I know exactly what you are, asshole. And your inane "if this had happened, that would happen" claptrap is just more moronic fearmongering strawman bullshit. Like the rest of your verbal diarrhea it proves absolutely nothing.

Actually, it proves one thing: when the terrorist sees reactions like yours, he knows he's won, since that was exactly his goal. So thanks for that, coward.

You want to squelch people speaking their own language on account of your own fear. That's what I call a linguistic fascist. So I suggest you learn Korean before you go, but definitely go since you like that fear-based authoritarianism so much.

It's grounds to send them right back to whatever sandpit they came from, doot squat. What are these Muslims DOING here?

Answer: trying to take over the country and turn it into a hellhole like where they came from. They all need to be deported, the sooner the better.

Not at all. I see this as a setup for a lawsuit. Kind of like those idiots that jump onto the city bus after the accident to get compensation.
It's a scam plain and simple.

Ah, I getcha now.

Reminds me of what they did in Philadelphia years ago, which I thought was brilliant. They put a press release out for the TV news announcing that anyone who was on the 351 bus at 4:04 last Wednesday involved in the accident, please get in touch with the transit company. When a number of people contacted them they were all arrested for fraud, since no such incident ever happened.

CAIR does this all the time; I bet you are right.

They do it right after Muslim terrorist attacks to "raise consciousness" ---- and to raise money, of course.
