| Imans call for Muslim boycott of USAIR |
| 2006-11-22 |
 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- A day after being removed from a US Airways flight, six Muslim clerics said Tuesday they were the victims of prejudice and did nothing to deserve the treatment. One called for a boycott of the airline.[possible USAIR advertising tie in- "USAIR, the airline terrorists boycott"]. "It's discrimination," said Omar Shahin, president of the North American Imams Federation |

| #18 Rob: US Air doesn't fly to Ann Arbor. They do fly to both Oakland and San Fran but you have to take a cab [1] to Berkeley. [1] No liquor or dogs allowed in cabs driven by Moose-limb drivers. |

| #16 I dunno; earlier this week US Air announced it was in merger talks with Delta; the plan is to buy out Delta, but continue flying it as a stand alone brand. Now comes the Muzzie Humiliation Flight and all comments are of the notion that we are going to start flying US Air since the towel heads won't. This sounds like something the US Air bean counter dreamt up in order to boost the bottom line and bring more $$ into the coffers in order to buy out Delta. /snark off |

| #15 Most of the above is absolutely right. A "muzzie free" airline would have sensible Americans beating a path to it's door. |

| #14 Oh, I have no doubt their ticket sales in Berkeley and Ann Arbor will slump. |

| #13 Jeez, folks. I don't think this is the reaction the imams were hoping for... |

| #11 Rumors here in Cincy are that USAIR's looking to buy Delta. Gonna be sweet being able to fly Allah-free from Cincy. |

| #10 "No more hijackings and bombings for you! That'll teach you!" |

| #9 Let it be true. This will be the biggest boon US Airways ever had. May put them into black because every thinking soul will book US Air whenever possible, if it's guaranteed no Muzzie scum is aboard. |

| #6 This is great news! Hopefully they boycott the airlines I fly too; American, United and Southwest. |

| #5 [possible USAIR advertising tie in- "USAIR, the airline terrorists boycott"] I hope they do. I just might start flying again. |

| #4 Good info on these folks at Powerline |

| #3 My only issue with the airline is one of timing. The invitation extended to the representatives of the religion of pieces to depart the aircraft should have been enforced approximately 15 minutes after takeoff..... |
