Muslims Booted From Flight for 'Suspicious' Comments

Discussion over safest place to sit gets family chucked off AirTran jet

(NEWSER) - An American Muslim family was booted off an Orlando-bound flight at Reagan National Airport after two of them were overheard discussing the safest place to sit on a plane, the Washington Post reports. Suspicious passengers reported the family, dressed in traditional Muslim garb, to the flight crew.

Go Ahead, Profile Me, Says American Muslim

It's time to stop being politically correct about this, she writes

(NEWSER) - Asra Q. Nomani is an American Muslim, but when it comes to airport security, she has no problem saying, “Profile me. Profile my family.” As the most recent would-be terrorist case highlights, "there is one common denominator defining those who’ve got their eyes trained on US targets: MANY of them are Muslim," she writes in the Daily Beast . Therefore, even though it's taboo to say, she believes we need to consider racial and religious profiling. More»

Time to Bite the Bullet and Screen Muslims

Refusing to profile is 'civilizational incompetence,' writes Bret Stephens

(NEWSER) - America's failure to single Muslim passengers out for extra screening at airports is a sign of an incompetent civilization, according to Bret Stephens. Yes, profiling has been misused in the past—say, the WWII internment of Japanese-Americans—but in the current reality it would be much more appropriate and effective than screening by nation of origin, since "not one non-Muslim from any of these countries (or others such as Egypt or Jordan, which were oddly excluded from the list) will ever become a suicide bomber," Stephens writes in the Wall Street Journal .

And most of the leaders of those Islamic places of worship believe America is not hostile to Islam, according to a census of US mosques and poll of mosque leaders released today. "This is a very healthy community," says the lead researcher and study author. "Mosque leaders feel very positive, more positive than they did in 2000," when a similar survey was taken. More»

NYPD's Muslim Surveillance Used White House Funds

Anti-drug grant pays for cars, computers: AP report

(NEWSER) - The NYPD's controversial Muslim surveillance programs were funded in part by millions of dollars directly from the Bush and Obama administrations, the AP reports. Since the 9/11 attacks, $135 million has been provided through the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program (HIDTA), which hands out grants, under the watch of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, to fight drug crimes. But an unknown amount of that money has actually been used for cars and computers used in the Muslim surveillance efforts, the AP finds. More»
