Muslims may call for airline boycott
Times Wire
by Staff

A group of Muslims is threatening to lead a boycott of Northwest Airlines over what they say is a pattern of profiling against Muslim passengers. About 40 pilgrims were prevented from boarding a connecting flight in Germany to Detroit on Jan. 7 while returning from a trip to holy cities in Saudi Arabia. The Muslim group, most of whom are Lebanese-American Shiites, held a news conference Tuesday to describe what they say happened to them. They called for Northwest to apologize, compensate them, and discipline the employees they said profiled them, otherwise they may call on all Muslim organizations to boycott the airline. Northwest officials defended their actions Tuesday, saying the pilgrims were unable to board because they weren't at the gate in time. The pilgrims dispute that.

If they could just do us all a huge favor and boycott the USA. A boycott by Muslims would give the airline a competative advantage. I will certainly make that my airline of choice. :smirky:

Exactly what I was thinking. Finally, 'moderate' muslims proposing something that will protect Americans. ;)

This is a gift to Northwest from the Muslims.

If anyone in the Northwest Corporation has a brass pair they will start an advertising campaign, trumpeting "NO MUSLIMS ABOARD" flights.

Overnight they'll have to put on an entire new fleet of aircraft, and their revenues will triple in the first year.

What Lub said.

HA! This is almost comical... Oh Please Please, nice Muslims - Dont throw me in the briar patch!!!

I always did enjoy flying on Northwest... :biggrin:

And if they offer ham sandwiches business will really boom!:claps:

Ah, the logic of muslims--

OK, so muzzies boycott NW: now IF a muzzie needs to fly NW, is he more or less likely to be looked at with suspicion?

Nothing like trying to smell a rose after cutting your nose off!

[PackerFever]

I think there should be more profiling! As an Israeli said n the news the other day about the profiling they do in Israel..."If you don't like it, you don't have to go to our country."

Amen sister......(Is it un-PC to say amen when agreeing with an Israeli? )

:roar:Ham Sandwhich :rotflmbo::thumb::claps::evilgrin:

[DoctorDoom]

Is it un-PC to say amen when agreeing with an Israeli? No. It's Hebrew.

281. amen, am-ane'; of Heb. or. [H543]; prop. firm, i.e. (fig.) trustworthy; adv. surely (often as interj. so be it):--amen, verily.

Hey! I already boycott all the airlines because they refuse to profile their customers. It's only common sense. :yes:

[BEST45CAL]

They should boycott air, food and water while they're at it. They already boycott soap.

"I only fly in a (fuel-wasting) jet airliner because it was going to a particular city anyway. Otherwise, I wouldn't fly."

---Forgotten eco-wacko lady on Sean Hannity talk showHAHAHA... As opposed to all of us Earth-hating neo-cons who just hop on jets and fly around randomly in order to burn up our fossil fuels and add to global warming...

What a maroon!!!!:roar: :rotflmbo: :biglaugh:

[Eagle1]

does an airline realize how much better its customers would feel if they knew no terrorists would be on board?

this could have been a shining moment for northwest

[Lazarus]

It would be a glorious day in America if all airlines followed Northwest's lead... I dont expect it to happen, but it would be glorious...

Fox News just reported that Northwest caved in and apologized to the Muslim's............which means I sure won't be buying any flight tickets from them in the future.:flame:

I was sort of hoping they'd boycott US Airways after the Minneapolis incident. Especially since I fly US Airways a lot.

All the seats should be trimmed in Pig skin. That way if one of the derelicts decides to blow himself up he could go out in leather.

I was going to mention that too. And while we're at it we could serve fried pigskins and/or hard liquor for the snacks.

[Seabee]

It would nice if some Muslims would boycott breathing.

[Riverboat]

And while we're at it we could serve fried pigskins and/or hard liquor for the snacks. Don't forget the infidel stewardesses appearing without a burkha. I want a really zaftig Jewish one serving me shots of Jack Daniels.

Hey, NW must be thanking Allah on bended knees. :thumb:

If I had a dollar for every person who calls the radio talk shows to say that from now on, they will only fly NW, I'd be in Idaho, happy and retired.

[DesertFox]

Fie had the money I'd open a new airline and advertise "No Muslim meals, no Muslims praying, no Arabic spake."
