OUSTED IMAMS WANT AIRLINE SETTLEMENT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- Five of six Muslim imams who were taken off a US Airways flight in Minneapolis last month want an out-of-court settlement from the airline for the ordeal.

After the Nov. 28 incident, the airline offered to meet with the group of clerics Dec. 4, but the men declined and instead sought legal help from the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington.

"With the hopes of reaching an amicable resolution to this matter, we would like to take this opportunity to ask for a formal meeting with US Airways executives and legal counsel," Arsalan Iftikhar, CAIR's national legal director, wrote to the airline.

There are conflicting reports of what happened after security agents escorted the men off the plane based on other passengers' complaints of suspicious activity, the Washington Times said Monday.

CAIR claims the men were handcuffed for several hours, but one of the imams told the Times he was only handcuffed for "10 or 15 minutes" and that the imams were not led off the plane in handcuffs.

An airline spokeswoman said the meeting request was received, but a date has not been set.

Not one dime for the terrorists imams nor the terrorists organization CAIR.

I used to weigh 305 lbs., and NEVER needed an extender on my seatbelt! Those straps could have easily been used as weapons. If people don't care to act in a civilized manner on an aircraft--let 'em walk! I respect people of ALL faiths--just not people who would do harm to innocent human beings!
God bless America!

Thoe alleged Holy men were looking to set up fear of lawsuits to again make it easy to attack planes and people. They should be expelled from the USA and their mosques Burned to the GROUND. Then we can chat about that peaceloving religion known as Islam.
Congress needs to enact a law to protect passengers from fear of lawsuits if they act in defense of themselves or the airplane they are on, much like the Good Samaritan laws.
