Come To The Land Of The Free And Demand Change

[nukeman]

I love this type of hypocrisy. Move somewhere new than demand someone who has been there for generations move, or change the way they use their own property. These Islamic lunatics just go to show how they want everyone to accomodate them yet they are completely unwilling to let others go on about their own business. Even if the others were there first.....

As far as I am concernd everyone of these types of people can kiss my ass

(

11/29/06 - KTRK/KATY, TX) - There's an awful lot of exciting news when you round the corner on Baker Road. One of two big yellow signs announces a new neighbor is coming soon.



K.I.A., that's the Katy Islamic Association, plan to build a mosque here.

"It's not an appropriate place to have a mosque or church," said resident Barbara Simpson.

It isn't going over real well.

"As a house of worship, they shouldn't be disturbing the peace and tranquility of 15 homes," said resident John Wetmore.

Neighbors tell us they're concerned about traffic and drainage and a little fear of the unknown. Some of the homeowners even offered to buy the land back for more than a million dollars. The K.I.A. doesn't seem very interested in the offers.

"We're not going anywhere," said Katy Islamic Association member Alvi Muzfar.

So it seems the community at the end of Baker Road has a pretty good fight. But this fight has gone much farther than many between two neighbors. You see in these fights, sometimes neighbors throw mud at one another. In this instance, they're wallowing in it.

Craig Baker owns pigs. He's the guy behind the second big yellow sign on Baker Road. That's the one announcing Friday night pig races.

"What does it matter, I can do whatever I want with my land right," asked landowner Craig Baker.

Sure can. But aren't pigs on the property line racing on a Friday night a little offensive to a Muslim neighbor?

"The meat of a pig is prohibited in the religion of Islam," said Katy Islamic Association member Youssof Allam. "It's looked upon as a dirty creature."

Yeah, there's that and also that Friday night is a Muslim holy day.

"That is definitely a slap in the face," said Allam..

Now before you go thinking Craig Baker is unfair, or full of hate, or somehow racist, hear him out.

Baker has long roots here. His family named the road and when the new neighbors moved in, he tells us, they asked him to move out.
"Basically that I should package up my family and my business and find a place elsewhere," said Baker. "That's ridiculous, they just bought the place one week prior and he's telling me I should think about leaving."
That new owners deny they ever said anything like that, but Baker isn't budging.


Baker admits the pigs are a message he is not leaving.

The 11-acre property is sandwiched between a pricey subdivision and Craig Baker's business.

K.I.A. eventually plans to build a mosque, a gym and a school there. There's no date for the groundbreaking ceremonies, or the first pig race.

Keep the pig races running every Friday. Then have a big ole crucifix right on your lawn reminding them of where they are. Nothing wrong with expressing ones religion.

On a wing and a prayer

The case of the flying imams is not over by a long shot. After a pray-in at the Minneapolis airport yesterday, Minneapolis "Muslim leaders" cited the case of the flying imams in support of the need for a Muslim prayer room at the airport: "Area Muslim leaders ask airport for prayer room." It's a bit difficult to follow the logic. Apparently Muslims need a place to shout "Allah" without arousing the fears of the flying public.

In addition to yesterday's pray-in for a prayer room, the Star Tribune story also discusses the seat belt extenders and reports the weight of two imams who asked for the extenders. This week's Washington Times articles by Audrey Hudson (here and here) reported that three imams including Omar Shahin (who is not overweight) asked for extenders ("Flight attendants said three of the six men, who did not appear to be overweight, asked for the seat-belt extensions, which include heavy metal buckles, and then threw them to the floor under their seats"). I can't reconcile the reports.

In any event, here is the heart of the Star Tribune story:

Area Muslim religious leaders have asked for a prayer room at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport after six Muslim leaders were escorted off a plane last week because of security concerns.

The local imams, who prayed on the mezzanine level before meeting with airport officials Friday afternoon, said a prayer room is essential because of the need to pray several times a day. The act itself is nonintrusive, they said.

"We as Muslims, we are part of this country," said Abdulrehman Hersi, a Minneapolis imam. "You have to pray wherever you are. Our prayer...we believe that we talk to our lord. It does not make harm to anyone."

Airport director Steve Wareham said it would be possible to accommodate their needs, possibly in the form of a "meditation room" like those available at other airports. Such a room would be interfaith, he said.

Wareham said the airport does not have a meditation room, although quiet waiting rooms and spaces are available. A chaplain has a small room at the airport, he said, adding that until now there haven't been requests for a prayer room.

Six imams were removed from a Phoenix-bound US Airways flight Nov. 20 after a ticket agent and passengers said they were praying loudly at the gate and visiting each other while on the plane.

They were questioned by authorities, including the FBI, and released.

The incident caused a nationwide debate about security concerns versus the imams' civil rights.

The airport police report describes concerns about the imams reported by passengers and airline employees.

They included "very loud" praying that included "chanting" of "Allah, Allah, Allah" before the flight. Two of the men requested seat-belt extenders that an off-duty flight attendant didn't think the men were large enough to need.

US Airways spokesman Morgan Durrant said the airline has reviewed but not changed its policies in light of the incident. "We feel that the crew followed procedure and acted for the safety of others," he said.

The imams have said that their prayers were standard sunset prayers and that the seat-belt extenders were requested because some are large men. (The police report lists the weights of two as 230 and 250.)

The imams, who had attended a religious conference in Bloomington, flew home the next day on Northwest Airlines.

The Twin Cities imams who met with airport officials Friday said there is a gap in communication. They said officials need to forge more understanding with the Muslim community.

"We are Americans," said Abdullahi Wasuge, an assistant imam in Minneapolis.​

Unfortunatley, the ringleader of the flying imams is also an American. In honor of his contributions, the Washington Times has named him its knave of the week. Confirming what I wrote yesterday in "The flying imams: What didn't happen," the Times observes:

The strange story of the six Muslims removed from a US Airways flight last week just keeps getting stranger. For instance, the Associated Press reported initially how one of the imams, Mr. Shahin, said he and his fellows were "humiliated" by authorities "in a very disrespectful way." Specifically, he said, they were led off the plane and interrogated all the while in handcuffs. "Six scholars in handcuffs," he told the AP. "It's terrible."

But is that what really happened? According to Audrey Hudson of The Washington Times, the six imams, including Mr. Shahin, "were not led off the plane in handcuffs, as reported, nor were they kept in handcuffs during their five-hour detention, and they were not harassed by dogs," as was also reported elsewhere. So, who told Miss Hudson that? Curiously, Mr. Shahin himself did during an interview, the same Mr. Shahin who a week ago had a different story. He also told The Washington Times how he and the other imams "love US Airways, and we want to fly with them." Strange, no?

For failing to keep his story straight, Mr. Shahin is the Knave of the week.
​

And Richard Miniter adds a new dimension to previous press reports in his New York Post column this morning;

Contrary to press accounts that a single note from a passenger triggered the imams' removal, Captain John Howard Wood was weighing multiple factors.

* An Arabic speaker was seated near two of the imams in the plane's tail. That passenger pulled a flight attendant aside and, in a whisper, translated what the men were saying: invoking "bin Laden" and condemning America for "killing Saddam," according to police reports.

* An imam seated in first class asked for a seat-belt extender - the extra strap that obese people use because the standard belt is too short. According to both an on-duty and a deadheading flight attendant, he looked too thin to need one.

A seat-belt extender can easily be used as a weapon - just wrap one end around your fist, and swing the heavy metal buckle.

* All six imams had boarded together, with the first-class passengers - even though only one of them had a first-class ticket. Three had one-way tickets. Between the six men, only one had checked a bag.

And, Pauline [Miniter's pseudonym for passenger on the flight] said, they spread out - just like the 9/11 hijackers. Two sat in first class, two in the middle and two back in the economy section, police reports show. Some, according to Rader, took seats not assigned to them.

* Finally, a gate attendant told the captain she was suspicious of the imams, according to police reports.

So the captain made his decision to delay the flight based on many complaints, not one. He also consulted a federal air marshal, a U.S. Airways ground-security coordinator and the airline's security office in Phoenix. All thought the imams were acting suspiciously, [US Airways spokesman] Rader told me.

One more odd thing went unnoticed at the time: The men prayed both at the gate and on the plane. Yet observant Muslims pray only once at sundown, not twice.
​

Miniter's column concludes:

Tucked away in the police report is this little gem: One imam had complained to a passenger that some nations don't follow sharia law and had said his job in Bakersfield, Calif., was a cover for "representing Muslims here in the U.S."

What are the imams really up to? Something more than praying, it seems.
​

In addition, Pajamas Media has poted relevant documents together with Miniter's column here. Pajamas Media posts the police report with witnesses' statements here and the letter from "Pauline" supporting US Airways here. You will want to read them all.

It could be coincidence. Or, they could have been scouting for future attacks. Or, perhaps they were deliberately displaying a number of suspicious behaviors, in order to play the Poor Discriminated Minority Martyr card, and engage in lots of attention whoring. I'm leaning towards option #3.

Is the airport privately owned? If not, it should be. Let the private owners decide if they want to have a mosque inside. The muslims would probably lose interest if they had to pay for it themselves, which is probably what private owners would make them do. Private owners (well, under sensible regulations) would also be able to kick people off planes for acting suspiciously, even if they're being coy about it. Not to mention that airline pilots would have been carrying guns a long time ago if it were up to the airlines. Allah Ackbar! Allah AckBLAM BLAM BLAM.

Nah, for all of her virtues, Bonnie is a Yankee, so unless she gets an authentic southern boy to show her how to do it right, she should probably stick to selling pancetta and prosciutto and those other Italian pig things. They're a lot easier to find in NY.
