Opinionated Ranter - The Adventures of Being Awesome...

 
I am but a man trying to live the dream. This is how I see the world...

HOORAY

Sometimes, if you wait long enough, common sense prevails. I read in the paper this morning that Congress has passed legislation "that will protect from lawsuits any airline passengers who inform authorities and complain to staff about people boarding or sitting on an aircraft who appear suspicious and a possible terrorist threat."

You remember that this all started last year when six Muslims boarded an airplane and worried passengers when they "loudly denounced the Iraq war among themselves, insisted on conducting ostentatious Islamic prayers". I would've been worried too.

They were escorted of the plane and immediately the Council on American Islamic Relations sued the airline, the airport and the passengers who complained. I guess they figured if they sued enough people they could make a couple of bucks.


People who see false Islamaphobia see this incident as racist and hysterical. No one has yet explained to me how Islam is a race, but let's let that go for now. If you have the answer, I'd be more than happy to hear it. But apparently, Congress and the rest of the world seem to think that, in light of 9/11, the London subway bombings, Spain, Paris, et al have a right to moderate and justified self-defence. Thank God.

Consider the fact that "more than 20 separate Islamic fundamentalist organizations have sworn to blow western airliners out of the sky and there are more than a dozen acts of terrorism committed by jihadist groups every day." Wouldn't you be worried if you were sitting on that plane?

The Muslims, while perhaps embarrassed or inconvenienced by being questionedd by the police, don't seem to realize that it is more offensive to have to clean up the bodies after a bomb goes off in a jet liner. That would certainly be inconvenient for the innocent passengers, wouldn't it?


While Britian may have had to put up with the terrorism of the IRA, today's war on terror is a bit different. We are dealing with an enemy that "will use airlines, subways, buses, schools, hospitals and any other place where it can slaughter innocent people."

"The enemy is Islamic. Not because we say it is, but because they say it is. When yet another mass murder takes place and the killer leaves us a video speaking of Allah, Mohammad and the need for Islam to conquer the world, it is difficult not to assume that he is a Muslim."

Some Islamic activists want to exploit the freedom the receive here in the free world. It is ironic that they wouldn't enjoy a fraction of what they have here if they were in the Mid-East they so proudly crow about.

They seem not to realize that with rights come responsibilities.

Hooray, whooppee and yeee-haw, Youranter! It's about time a little common sense crept in and we can use it to defend ourselves with out fear of being sued. It seems to me the strange behavior and law suits were designed not just to make money, but to keep people from speaking out and thus opening the door to another attack. 'Bout time we stopped them!

I tend to agree that if they were plotting something nefarious they should go to hell. I never understood why they'd be allowed to sue the other passengers. Apparently the airline crew agreed they were more than a bit of a distraction and dealt with them in a proper manner. If I disrupted a flight, I'd be paying for the landing costs of a diverted site, plus fined in general. What made these idiots so special they think they can do what they want, when they want? Have they never heard of "When in Rome.............."?

Ranter,

this whole Islamic crapola really chaps my ass...I mean come on, I'm a damned pilot and I'd of jumped out of the plane at 35,000 feet with out a parachute had I been witness to that kind of behavior!

Does the entire Islamic world think everyone has just forgotten 9/11!? Or Spain or London? Or any of the other numerous places where innocent people have been killed by jihadi terrorists?

Gimme a break...Had I been in charge, I'd of yanked the door open myself at 30,000 feet and pushed them the hell out...That commercial carrier had every right to protect itself and all the other innocent passengers on board...I don't care what Obama G-lama whatever the hell his name is says...

But, that's just me I guess..

Well done buddy...a great read!

Take care,


Nick

These a-holes must figure that if they throw enough shit on the wall, some of it will stick. I'm with you on this one Nick. I would've invited them to step outside to discuss the matter further myself.
