[Erminbih95]

stuiped americans

all i have to say.

[MrKilmax29]

muslims are famous of blowing planes and buses and shouting allahu akbar! islam was famous of their holy war against the infidels.

[Mohsen187]

cockmeat sandwiches? haha! thats funny as hell. i forgot where I heard that first. Where did you get it, cunt? is that your dish favourite'?

[handzalah002]

i am a Muslim.everytime when i get onto plane,i pray to God asking for my safety together with all other passengers and crews,and every flights i had landed safely with no explosions or what so ever.

if asking to God for the safety of the flight is regarded to terrorism,i'm sure that the prisons will be packed.

[SwtPunkyGirl]

I am not Muslim But U GUYS make me SICK! How dare you Blame these Men!They did nothing wrong! Its not Islams fault that some Power HUNGRY Islamics Hijacked the religion for their own power. When the real Muslims Love you any nO matter how you guys treat them. When they Worship the same GOD as U & me HAVE U EVER READ THE QURAN? Its not all about hate. Its because some R so Blinded about what other people say and u believe everything you hear. GROW UP AND LEARN AND STUDY ISLAM BEFORE U JUDGE ANY1

[JamiaMan91]

@SwtPunkyGirl well said, im glad someone has some sense of understanding and not being ignorant

[tdot22]

how dare they fly!! how dare Muslims get on a plane!!

[NaughtyBwoi]

suck your dirty mom fucking racist bastard

[indelwyn]

OMG.. Ship them out.. I am an American Muslim. Where do I get shipped to? Ireland, where my great ancestors are from centuries ago? Freedom of religion. My sister is a Born Again Christian I get more scared of her friends with their speaking in tongues mumbo-jumbo than I am hearing God is Great.

[Randeezy72]

Im american as well , I wish they would send me to saudi , its alot safer there, no christians worshipping a dead man on a stick.

[yjmanz]

america hates islam and there stupid assholes who eat cock meat sandwiches

[muimrm]

Amazing,they never apologized for arresting innocent people with no evidence simply because they prayed in the terminal.

[soomroz]

2:28

thats a good example of discrimination.

[ArabianKnight1201]

NO COMMENT

[versaflex]

America has become the land of paranoia!

It`s sad!

[CrazyGlue101]

[xsaadox]

[falaky]

Dies ist das wahre Gesicht von Amerika "die rassistische freie Gesellschaft". Es ist die wahre Gesicht eines amerikanischen socity denen keine muslimischen ist erlaubt zu bieten sein Gebet während der Flüge. Sie haben das Gefühl, dass jeder Moslem ist Terrorist

[islambychoice]

"ship them out of the country period"!!!! Is this guy kidding me its not even your country so we should ship all the immigrants out including you DJ. Only the native americans can stay how about that. Americans are the true terrorists that killed MANY aboriginals ...oh wait thats not terrorism

[saifkhan96]

U cant even tell while lookin at them that Even THEY ARE MUSLIMS OR NOT ??!! Serouisly DAMN!......"zamana badal giya ... aik ayega jab loog sirif namaaz parhney waley ko AAlim samjheingey bhai "

[366647]

what does he mean "they have to sensitive to the fact that they happen to be middle eastern and that these kinds of things are going to happen to them." Since when is it a crime to be middle eastern and why should they have to be sensitive at all because of their heritage? To me that was a ridiculous statement. What happened to liberty and justice for all??

[accacat]

muslims are not terrorist... but terrorist can be a muslim !!.... aAND THEY ARE NOT REAL IMAAMS THEY PRAY WITH THEIR SHOES ON !!! NO HAD A BEARD EXEXPT ONE ACCORDING TO SHARIAH!... IMAAM ...BULLSHIT !!.....THEY ARE NOT IMAAAMS ...... ITS AN AMERICAN SCANDAL

[NaDe3m]

Serouisly DAMN!......"zamana badal giya ... aik ayega jab loog sirif namaaz parhney waley ko AAlim samjheingey bhai "....AGAAR NAHI NIBHAA SAKTEY TU CHOOR DE IMAAM BANNA!

[mach5goteam]

Notice how these imams talk as though THEIR WORD ALONE is enough to end all debate as to the truth of the incident. And notice how the Muslims commenting on this video continue to demand more and more proof from non-Muslims to the truth of the incident. This is quite consistent with the belief that Muslims think themselves MORALLY SUPERIOR to non-Muslims, even in the face of objective evidence to the contrary.

In short, they think they are BETTER than us! Better religion!

[rezuldazzle]

Right, and these 'Muslims' enslaved black people from Africa, these 'Muslims' controlled, manipulated and enslaved Indians for 2 centuries, these Muslims took over my country, Australia, and made Aboriginals, the real inhabitants, inferior. They took children from their parents to live in white families and convents known as the 'Stolen Generations' because they were racially and morally superior.

OH, hold on, that werent done by Muslims. They were Christians. Think on that mach5goteam.

[mach5goteam]

Dude, we're not talking about something that happened centuries ago. We're talking about now. We're talking about Muslims now.

Why is it that whenever someone questions the behavior of Muslims, they always want to bring up some shit that Christians did centuries ago to prove Muslim moral superiority as though it makes a difference in the present? Can you say "smokescreen"?

OH YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! Muslims CAN'T criticize their own beliefs, but those of non-Muslims are FAIR GAME! Think on that!

[mach5goteam]

Nice try on your efforts to change the subject, though.

Well, no, not really.

But you did provide a great example of Muslim arrogance and Muslim delusions of moral superiority. Thank you for THAT at least.

[rezuldazzle]

I knew you r an idiot, but not this much mate. LOL. Even if I agree to play the game by your rules,(which means, u cant blame us for what we did but we can blame u for what u are doing?.wtf, mate? its a lame excuse) if u for a single while believe that KKK and Rednecks and Neo-Nazis doesnt exist in the modern world, you are totally pathetic and its a waste of time to talk to you. And yes they carry hate and racist crimes because they think their 'race' which is white/christian are superior.

[mach5goteam]

But I thought we were talking about the imams on the airplane and how they acted and how it is an example of how Muslims feel superior to non-Muslims.

OH WAIT! Ww ARE talking about that!

You can think I'm an idiot all you want. That's your prerogative. But what do "the KKK and Rednecks and Neo-Nazis" have to do with MUSLIMS?

Trying to change the subject again? Nice try. And you STILL haven't answered the question.

That's what is "pathetic" about debating Muslims. All talk and NO ANSWERS!

[mach5goteam]

Oh, and what's with the "LOL"?

Are you laughing at your own delusions of superiority?

In case you are too brainwashed or shallow-minded to already know this, Islam is NOT a race. It is a belief system. And like ALL belief systems, it is open to criticism, and it is not "racist" to do so.

And it is NOT "racist" to criticize the behavior of its adherents (the imams).

[mach5goteam]

"its a waste of time to talk to you"?

Okay, fine. Then walk away. Such a typical example of Muslim arrogance you are. You think you are too good to talk to someone telling a little bit of truth.

You're just so much better than me. BETTER RELIGION!

Fine. Keep believing that. Continue to delude yourself with the lies in that little book you carry.

The Quran, alos known as "Mohammed's Book of Lies"!

That's why the truth hurts you people OH SO MUCH!

[rezuldazzle]

Muslims are supposed to believe in four Books of good which includes the QURAN alon with the NEW and OLD TESTAMENTS. Stop commenting on people you dont know properly about. Ur comments are inflamatory and it proves what an ignorant person you are and the world could without you at this trouble times.

[mach5goteam]

Actually, Muslims believe that "the NEW and OLD TESTAMENTS" were corrupted and cannot be trusted. It is YOU who are the ignorant one.

[rezuldazzle]

I am agnostic/spiritual and have friends across diff religion divides. I know Islam is a belief system. I dont have to justify myself anyways and I did not call you 'racist', so stop implying that. You are welcome to critise Muslims but "Muslims commenting on this video continue to demand more and more proof from non-Muslims to the truth of the incident" is pure arrogance. That seems a sane stance from anyone whos accused and seeks justice. NOT MUSLIMS, NOT CHRISTIANS, just normal human beings.

[mach5goteam]

But your talking about the KKK and Neo-Nazis and the Europeans mistreatment of the Aboriginals implied that you were saying that I was racist. I did not bring up ANYTHING about those people, I was talking about the imams on the plane in particular and Muslims in general. That was it. No racial comments were made and no racial accusations were called for. And yes, Muslims do constantly demand more and more proof from non-Muslims as a stalling tactic wen accused of wrong.

[rezuldazzle]

The members of the KKK call themselves 'true Christians', and by implying what they believe all I am trying to prove that it exists on both side. That is Christians believe that they are superior as well. Actually, its unfair to label all Christians but there are those who do. I am not disagreeing that some Muslims doesnt as well. But I am labeling all and only "Muslims' like u r. It happens across the isle. Therefore, I am not changing the subject but you are stupid enough not to get my point.

[mach5goteam]

Christians are all too quick to condemn the evil calling itself by its name. Muslims...not so much. Your willingness to call attention to the faults of non-Muslims when the subject is Muslims shows an unwillingness to deal with the subject at hand. That and the fact that I have yet to hear ONE THING come from you about the SUBJECT. I am not so "stupid" as you would say that I am.

[rezuldazzle]

I am not changing the subject. I proved to you section of every religion and race believes they are superior because you accused that solely to Muslims only. I dont think some Muslims cant be wrong, they are not pure angels. But in a story like this when its clearly legal matter concerning human rights you are making the Muslims look 'evil' in your original comment like the rest of arrogant idiots out there. So, again, NO I am not changing the subject.

[mach5goteam]

I was talking about how the Muslims have a natural sense of moral superiority. This sense is so strong you can cut it with a knife. And the imams at the airport and on the plane were acting suspiciously, despite their claims to the contrary. And when confronted with this on the plane, they behaved with their famous "how dare you speak to your future lords and masters like this" attitude. It is not arrogant to point out the obvious. When you act suspiciously on an airplane, people get nervous.

[rezuldazzle]

Those Imams were acting the way Imams act on the plane. People were suspicious about them coz they have no knowlegde of Islam as a religion let alone Imams, so the Imams are not to blame. People have a tendency to be afraid of things that are different to them. But "Different" doesnt mean "BAD", they are just different, simple. Ignorance = Bad.

[mach5goteam]

People also tend to be afraid of people who believe in an ideology that says it is okay to TARGET AND MURDER CIVILIANS!

If those imams had ANY sense of empathy towards their fellow non-Muslim passengers, they would have made some effort to try to be LESS suspicious, not MORE.

But NO! They just did what THEY wanted and expected those passengers to be "understanding" to a superhuman degree, and threatened to SUE THEM for not being so!

[rezuldazzle]

If other passengers were knowledgeble they wouldve noticed nothin wrong. But they did coz of masive campaign esp by current US admin. to portray Islam, middle-easterners as evil so they can justify the war, the way Vietcong/Communist were labeled evil back in the days. It doesnt matter even some of them r good, people are programmed to mistrust them for Bush's own end goal and you have to realise you are a product of that. People wont b able 2 separate REAL extremist like this. Knowledge=Power.

[mach5goteam]

So the other passengers are supposed to just be totally oblivious to what those imams were saying and doing until...when? When one of them has a seat belt extension wrapped around the throat of a flight attendant? When they start pounding on the door of the cockpit? COME ON! No one should expect that level of "understanding" from ANYONE! If Christians or Jews were known for hijacking airliners and killing civilians, it would be at least somewhat understandable to be suspicious of THEM!

[mach5goteam]

But NO! Muslims are supposed to be immune from any kind of criticism or "profiling" no matter what they do.

"Not all Muslims are bad." Neither are all pro-lifers, but that doesn't stop people from thinking that they blow up abortion clinics or shoot doctors who perform abortion.

Suspicion is the natural product of when people do something wrong!

[mach5goteam]

Personally, I believe the imams did this on purpose to set up the situation where people are afraid to say anything about a future attack for fear of getting sued. They want people to keep their mouths shut so the jihadists don't have their feelings hurt or you know, get STOPPED while they set off another terrorist attack against the "infidels".

Can't have THAT now, can we?

[hassanaye]

bloody white anglo saxo protestants who suck the asses of jews you people are fucking shame on this earth

[choseneliteigu]

racist pigs

[trenchnurse]

Waaa-waaa-waaa!!! Cry me a river you derka-derkas! If we deported these bozos after 9/11 we wouldnt be hearing these ungrateful a-holes spew their lies about their inconveniences at the hands of us "infidels". If it was up to me, these "imams" would have been shoved into Gitmo getting waterboarded now! Be thankful Im not in charge of US Airways, Jihad el-Jihad! I wouldve told you exactly where to stick your precious lawsuit!

[roonalwazlib]

I'm with you on that one. Too bad CNN feels the need to drown us in PC bullshit. Who the fuck in their right mind would want to board a plane with a bunch of derka derka muhammad jihad asswipes along for the ride. You don't see Christians making others aware of their religious beliefs in airports.

[rep56]

I understand that it's ok to lie if it furthers the cause of islam. Here is a perfect example of it. We're not stupid and you won't bully us. I don't feel one ounce of guilt. we're watching and we will continue to watch.

[00Londoner00]

fucking stupid americans

[0900786012]

I know 5 friends who frequently fly US airlines for business trips. that around $40000*5= $200000. I will show them this video and they will never fly american planes. They know 10 more who do the same and they know 10 more. And I'm not the only one watching this video. So that's like (200000)*100 or 20 Million dollars US airlines will lose per year b/c or this behavior. Wait a minute....US will recover 100 times more than that from Iraqi oil.

[0900786012]

no wonder these corporates are not afriad of discrimating people and treating them unfairly.

[GevorgDeumuS]

Motherfucking Racists!

[GevorgDeumuS]

Motherfucking Racists!

[discusthrowerstate]

what rascist people

[Aegius]

Omar Shahin is such a liar. The praying did not occur on the plane and had nothing to do with the incident and he KNOWS IT. They also did ask for seat-belt extensions and cry, "Allah, Allah, allah" upon boarding the plane as witnesses stated contrary to his claims. He is a BIG LIAR!

[FoxNewsRepublican]

Right On US Airways. They should win an award! They were up to nothing good, and they new it!

[tareqak]

How do you say they were up to no good with no proof. You can't throw claims like that with no proof jack.

[Aegius]

There were 3 investigations that showed US Airways was justified. As for them up to no good, I must submit that they probably didn't seek to take over the airplane, but they did seek to scare the passengers and others into not putting up red flags when called for.

[tareqak]

How do you justify that. You can't prove that what so ever. They have no motive to do such you are just jumping to conclusions, please use your intellect.

[Aegius]

Answer: 3 investigations and eye witness accounts. No motive? They sued the airlines and tried to sue the passengers and made a huge publicity over the affair. They tried to portray themselves and other Muslims as victims and the rest of us as victimizers and to get those of us, who have justified complaints to shut up. Those are their motives. Yeah, if someone shouts, "allahu-ackbar" and wants to enter the cockpit, we aren't supposed to say anything. /sarc. BS!

[UncoolSam777]

Deport ALL muzzies! Those pieces of shit imams should have all been hung to set some examples for other muzzies who want to terrorize our good people.

[tareqak]

I agree you should deport all foreigners then we'll see the real decline in U.S. economy sherlock.

[Aegius]

Better Catholic Mexicans and other Latinos, who are grateful rather than Muslims, who complain endlessly.

Still the imams were full of crap. Liars, big time. They didn't need the extensions and did state, "Allah, allah" prior to going on the plane and did take seats that they were NOT assigned to. LIARS, all!

[tareqak]

Thats right cause you were there right? Maybe you need to learn a little about islam, mail me personally i'll be more than happy to teach you.

[Aegius]

I commented on MUSLIMS, not Islam, specifically the flying Imams, who are lying like crazy. They claimed that they needed the seat extensions, yet put them in front of their seats. MORE LIES! I'm sure deceit is against Islam. Well, tell that to the Imams; don't tell that to me.

[tareqak]

thats what i am asking you. You call them liars and whatever other name you want to throw at them, i am asking how do you know they are lying you don't have an ounce of proof. Thanks for coming out.

[Aegius]

I already gave you proof and a lot of it and I called them liars and I just checked: nothing else. You're not listening and as you won't listen, please just go away. This is typical of what I expect from Muslims: won't condemn their own and try to deflect criticism elsewhere.

[tareqak]

This is typical of what a liar would do. Avoid the answer because you don't have one. You haven't provided one shred of evidence. if you know what that means. Anyways i appreciate your time. Again thanks for coming out

[Aegius]

I have already pointed out to you that there have been 3 investigations that including eye witness accounts that verified what I and others have stated in another conversation. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and just submit that you are a poor listener. Still you cannot condemn your fellow Muslims who are bad apples and that is a problem that most Muslims seem to have.

[strahl1]

They were testing the airlines. POS need to move to Iraq ...get the F*** out I have no tolerance for your Sh**

[tareqak]

What is it that you don't have tolerance for, people that are looking out for your best interest in this world and the hereafter. You don't even believe in God the way you are sopposed to.

[nttb6403]

Who the fck would pray in public?. Praying is a good thing, but it should be done in temple, church or ... mosque, or at home. Pray in public is when it's ... panic situations, bad situations, tragics or danger. People don't pray in airport for ... nothing. Well, if you muslims say praying in airport and on airplanes are normal then do you even pray when you get in a car and get in a house too? scare that you may get kill huh? stupid. (BTW, I'm ASIAN) Now you can say Asian are racist now.

[tareqak]

Actually we pray everywhere and all the time. The funny thing is everytime we pray in public people approach us and either compliment us or ask us what we are doing, when explained they leave happy or enlightened.

[meryigit71]

muslims are better than others, haven't you seen any muslim country which occupied another country or killed anybody, but defending their lands. Americans must scare of themself, they are the one , rapist thief, phedophily. isnot it correct ?

[travrosty]

These imams are full of it. they werent fat enough for extensions to their seat belts, i am 6'2" and 320 pounds, and I do not need a seat belt extension when I fly. They were practicing a dry run, probing the airline for weaknesses.

[ghostmanno12]

gordengecco wrote: Just look at the way they abuse women and promote violence.

what a patriarchical statement typical of men in many societies... these imams are defending our values from reactionary measures that are intended to prevent 9/11 occurring again- terrorist organisations are opportunistic, they use watever they have at hand and i would be surprised if 9/11 did occur again. if it werent for these imams standing up for themselves- the terrorists would have won

[flashfmb]

Kombi1976 your comment is a bag lie. I am a catholic and my dad is a friend of imam Omar shahin and I have known him personally for a very long time. As a matter of fact he was a speaker at one of the diversity lectures in my high school. You must be ashamed of yourself and your comment is totally preposterous.

[bricitybrac]

Yeah you'd think that someone who lives three houses away from a mosque would know how to spell mosque LOL.

[kombi1976]

I lived only 3 houses away from the Islamic Masque these Imam's claim to belong too. These same Imam's also held a party back on September 11,2006 at there Masque in Phoenix, AZ. This newest attempt was all a test to see where American security stands. Also the Imam who claims to be blind drives a car.

[bricitybrac]

Umm... Bullshit?

[gordengecco]

These pathetic imams are just seeking publicity. If these imams are so noble they should be the ones attacking the radicals which they are not. US airways is not smearing muslims image, the radical actions of islams is smearing their image. People choose their religion and should bear the concequences of what their religion does as a whole. Islam has become a cult and the radicals (only) should not be defended under US law. Just look at the way they abuse women and promote violence.

[greenafghan]

Thank you for showing both sides of the story..

[azee1v1]

If all Muslims prayed when they are supposed to (in public), then the American public would already be accustomed to it. Similar to when a person of Jewish faith prays (standing, holding a torah, rocking back and forth) noone sees it as something weird. Because they have seen it before many times and respect that its being done as a prayer.

[MLJUC]

Muslim prayer is nothing strange or new to the public, only those who are totaly ignorant of Islam or Muslims or of any other religion out there would not know what a prayer is when they see one.

[azadipaki]

MashAllah, the Imams were very well spoken. They did a good job in explaining the gross injustice done to them in a calmed and dignified manner.

[aburashdan]

the anchor insulted her own people by insinuating that joe on the street thinks every muslim is a potential terrorist, that makes the numbers 1.3 billion, doesn't it ? well if average american are representative of joe and the host thinks its a fitting question then i have proved my point.
