Just once, I would like to have seen the airline go to those three men and tell them they were offending passengers and ask them to remove their turbans or whatever and JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS. You KNOW what would have happened.
Imagine they went to several Christians and asked them to remove crosses from their necks and leave their Bibles in storage so it wouldn't offend anyone.
This whole incident was wrong because people simply wearing Muslim ethnic clothing is not a threat.
These people objecting were hysterical and rude.
They should have been told to shut the hell up about it or find another flight
Maybe/probably so, but, if you went to some people and asked them to remove their crosses or put away their Bibles because of complaints, etc., I think you know that while not happy and upset about it, in all likelihood, they would probably peaceably agree rather than be removed. Turn the other cheek and all that. The thing is that:
- Islamic organizations remain a clear terroristic threat and symbol worldwide. Identified with 9/11 and conflicts all over the world. No one toting Bibles and crosses are.
- As such, if I were Muslim, I would want to minimize tension and conflicts by keeping my muslim gear to myself until I was not in a public area. No one needs to wear prayer towels while flying in a jet. Just as many people don't display Trump support and gear out of concern for sparking conflict, these guys could do the same for the greater good.
- People wearing offensive gear have been asked to take it off. School kids have been asked to remove pro-Trump or even pro-America tee shirts! People on planes are asked to remove offensive clothing, turn down offensive music, even removed for SMELLING offensive. Fact of the matter is that these people were bothering passengers for what they were wearing and had it been ANYONE ELSE, you and I both know the airline would have approached them and asked them to remove it or just put it away.
- ALL such situations are wrong. But only some of them seem to be selectively enforced. Muslim = hands off.
- I doubt these people were hysterical and rude until all their complaints fell on deaf ears. Had it been a Muslim complaining about a white person, I bet you anything the airline would have taken it to the white people long before even considering throwing the Muslims off the jet. Don't you dare try to deny that.
- If Muslims weren't involved in so many problems and conflicts all over the world from al Quada to ISIS, 9/11, many other wars and conflicts, and immigrating to foreign countries then effectively taking over whole communities while pushing out the indigenous people and their traditions and replacing it with mini-Islamic communities, there wouldn't be this tension and feelings in the first place, all the while always defended and protected by local governments.
SO I ABSOLUTELY SAY that it was these three men and not the other passengers who caused the problem and should have been told to put away their prayer towels or get off the plane, not the other way around. After all, this happened WHERE, in WHAT country? And WHO was removed?
YOU DAMN RIGHT.
