ABC7-NEWS: CAIR-Chicago on men deplaned for speaking Arabic

CAIR-Chicago Executive Director Ahmed Rehab discusses the removal of six Iraqi-American men from an airplane for speaking Arabic as signs of alarming hysteria and textbook discrimination. The men had received certificates for a completed training mission for the U.S. Marines. Rehab says that "the larger concern is that suspicion is no longer based on what you do, but on a person's language and race."

Im taking arabic in college and let me tell you it is HARD. But you learn about each other and it changes your opinions greatly. Everyone needs to just calm down.

This is humiliating. Seeing this happening in America.

Well, thats what they get for helping the US military, who would turn around and rape and ravage innocent people anyways.

Bigotry is in the very DNA of America's evil sinful conception. Native Indians, Blacks, Mexicans, the Japanese, and every decade, a new object of hate.

If you speak another language in the states besides English they hate you. They like it if you can speak like George Bush ya'll. Because 99.9% of imports come from overseas.

arabic is an UGLY language, - it's worse that German

[minooo44]

@MADmohAMiONaJIHAD you said"The unholy koran ORDERS muzlims to kill those who refuse to be allahs' slaves."

Ans: Evidence ?! where is the evidence from what you are saying ?!

you said"the koran should be banned, since it is a HATE manual,"

Ans: Evidence ?! where is the evidence from what you are saying ?!

You should judge people by their religion, since religion is most likely to determine their behavior.

[shiimera]

why ? you don't know why really ??? ask your bro

I'm north african and I understand why !!!

[importcamel03]

i find this to be funny AS an iraqi person myself, because arabic is spoken by musims, christians, and jews in the middle east. i can't believe that people are being secluded for speaking a language spoken by the 3 main religions practiced in this world. what a shame.
