These Imams were faking and goofing on the passengers, and were probably trying to get tossed off the plane just so they could play the victim card and go to court and make a scene. Any judge who allows this is garbage.

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
pretend to be terrorists

scare people on a plane
get thrown off claim racism

this attitude doesn’t work. If the authorities just follow rules and don’t use their brains, you’ll get nonsensical cases like this.

Some time ago there was trouble about a French pilot who made a joke about a shoe bomb. He was not allowed to fly the plane, which was ridiculous, because a pilot doesn’t need a bomb, he could just fly the plane into a building.

It does not really look like a serious document. It is more like a subjective personal discussion. Do people really write official reports like this in the USA?

He *wants* them to arrest him, or to tell him to leave, or do something rash, b/c then it adds fuel to his world view and makes a spectacle that he can then use against them. Police brutality, blah blah blah.

In this particular case, everything happened as it should, they were stopped, asked to leave and finally not prosecuted (actually the airline should have banned them from flying with them). Good! I’m glad. I don’t want the situation where we have people pushing the envelope of security to its logical grey areas, just to test out reactions or to make political statements. The guys were jerks and as such, I would just assume not fly with them (and im sure the passengers would agree). Its not a right, its a priviledge in a free society.

You will be less touchy when you hear ‘Islam’ next time.

Brutal policies of Hassan Al-Turabi

Great!
See this. It’s not that they’re the devils. It’s that they’re not obidient to his highness Bush II. That is why they’re colored all so black. And about brutal policies, as far I am aware, he’s not responsible of any genocide, let alone for the killing of 2(or 6) million people anywhere in the world.
The ones that preceded them, they murdered, they looted, they extorted, they were involved in drug trafficing…. You have absolutely no problem with that. (My skin’s safe anyway.) Stop being afraid whenever Islam is named. You will feel better.

Mr. Ramadan was banned from entering France in 1996 on suspicion of having links with an Algerian Islamist who had recently initiated a terrorist campaign in Paris.

Along with nearly all Islamists, Mr. Ramadan has denied that there is “any certain proof” that Bin Laden was behind 9/11.

Al-Qaeda and Suspicion! Again! I’m sick!
As far as I am aware, it is a fact that Al Qaeda has not been convincingly proved to be involved in 911. Despite all the claims. I am yet to come across hard evidence other than “he made a call to him”, “he rented his home for six months”, “they were seen together once in paris” that sort of thing. It basically assumes one thing: undeniably the criminals has link with Al-Qaeda, which itself is not proven.

Neither has he said ‘I think Al Qaeda is the greatest gift to mankind’.
Fact is fact, face it. When he said there was no proof, he did not mean Al Qaeda is an angel.
The court of the United states has looked into it. They found not a single of his writings or lectures can be called provocative.” Not even in the sense of attacking or demeaning other civilisations.

Intelligence agencies suspect that Mr. Ramadan (along with his brother Hani) coordinated a meeting at the Hôtel Penta in Geneva for Ayman al-Zawahiri, deputy head of Al-Qaeda, and Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind sheikh, now in a Minnesota prison.

I susptect King Bush II had been meeting bin-Laden in his backyard discussing next election. This election(if you don’t remember) he’s done a great job by releasing a video message just before the elections. That indeed carried king Bush II’s rheotics a distance.
Intelligence agencies suspect. I don’t believe what media says about intelligence. Intelligence is not foreign policy that you go around beating drums about what you have found out. Whenever I see some ‘intelligence’ on newspaper (or tv or net) I become suspecious.

A lot of allegations have been brought forward against Ramadan. Including doublespeak. But nobody ever provides evidence or example!
It’s for those who want to believe all Islamists are evil. They require no proof.

No it’s not that. It is because Ramadan is dangerous. He is well versed in history. He is reasonable. He’s eloquent. In short he’s more dangerous than all the criminals in Al-Qaeda put together.
