Opinions on the arabs that were kicked off the US Airways flight to Phoenix?
I fly US Airways all the time......the arabs were kicked off because other (I am assuming non arab) passengers said they heard them making anti american remarks. Plus they were praying before they got on the flight. Is that being crazy or careful? Actually, I just saw one of them on CNN and they all had round trip tickets and were on a return trip from a religous confrence in Minn. Another thing that had been said yesterday is that they were not sitting in their assigned seats, but that guy said - there was only one not in his assigned seat and that is because US Airways had upgraded him to first class because he flys so often.

Boycott all airlines. I would say crazy.

from the accountss of witnesses as seen on tv and on radio.. three of them make a deliberate point of making their prayer in publick and in a very clear way to show there lack of respect of others... for muslims traveling it is not required for them to pray in such a mannor in such a place. They are alowed by their "faith" to delay their pray to a more sutible place and time... they were acting to provoke...... how were any to know if they were praying for a good explosion or for there safe arival...or just to provoke hostility... they were in the wrong.... but there was some over reacting on the part of the authorities as well...

There were two more things to add to that list. 1. three of them only had 1 way tickets and 2. they had no luggage. This looks very supicious, I must admit. The prayers, that was fine-no objections to that. I even gripe to people about Bush and the Governemnt-so, I cannot fault this. I had thought it was awful that they were kicked off the plane. But, add it all up, now I can see why. It was very poor judgement for the Imams to put themselves in such a situation.
