PerceptionBy: Natarajan | Friday , 2 Jan '09 21:32:15 PM Reply | Forward What is happening is wrong - muslims in general are being targetted for the crime of few fantatics within their community. The only way to remove the wrong perception is for the muslims to work actively in identifying the black sheep within their community and hand them over to the authorities. When this starts happening in large scale, the perception will change as well as the motivation to the terrorists.
Any flights and muslimsBy: James | Friday , 2 Jan '09 20:48:28 PM Reply | Forward Who do you blame this for? The law, the enforcers or people who do not trust muslims any more? Fact is muslims (fundamentalists) have been responsible for every major terrorist attacks in disturbed parts around the world. While not muslims are like that there not being able to understand this simple thing means deep inside they are not seeing this in right manner. If you have to save any flight or a building with few more thousand people than the option of screening people who look suspicious makes sense than not doing anything. Living in US or any other non-muslim country is not by force, US security was not like this before but now it has to do it. Even blacks in US complain of being racially profiled but they are the ones responsible for more crimes in certain parts of the country so what can police do?There is no instrument invented yet which can tell what you are going do or if are innocent or guilty ! Until that time any group, race, religion can be in this situation.

Disembarked Muslim familyBy: Paul | Friday , 2 Jan '09 20:07:45 PM Reply | Forward God, the Father knows the hearts of all persons, Muslim and Christian, Hindu, and Jew,but we, as humans, don't have a clew. So what do you think it is best to do?Fly with the thought that passengers could die by possibly falling out of the sky?Thank God for people who hear other's words and report what they hear from men wearing beards. The muslims today may be friend or foe, they only know where they want to go. The rest of mankind must all be alert, for some from the Muslims do want to hurt, Christians especially, who some think are "dogs" and like the prophet Isaiah would put them in logs and saw them in two, so to help me and you to be kept and not slain, the USA Government makes laws very plain, I appreciate such laws, yet I know full well that even with such laws we can all land in hell, for freedom of speech can affect you and me, and can take away all liberty. To those who were put off the plane, so sorry for you, but please come again! (Happy Holidays!)

This better than SaudiBy: Radha | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 4:05:12 AM Reply | Forward Dr Walter you may check the way Saudi and other Gulf countries treat non muslims. When you travel on road in Saudi you will be stopped by Saudi cops for no reason and they treat non muslims like criminals. Here FBI has treated them with respect.

Hysterical AmericaBy: K Suresh | Friday , 2 Jan '09 19:52:55 PM Reply | Forward It is a over kill.Those 9 passengers should have been already security checked along with others. This is bad what has happened to those passengers.American sense of idiosyncracy is really tickling. Americans are a major cause of the world turmoil. Their foreign policy sucks. They are totally intolerant and racial. We should all boycott America. Mid east stop selling oil to USA. INDIA CHINA and rest of the world nations should boycott America.
America vs IndiaBy: ASingh | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 12:25:15 PM Reply | Forward ...but Mr. Suresh, look at the reality- America has not been attacked after 9/11. india is attacked every 6 months whenever the islamic terrorists feel like!Why? Because most indians are cowards and careless like you...
Hysterical AmericaBy: JAY | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 4:05:33 AM Reply | Forward This has reference to K.suresh's letter.USA is a great friend of India and has mutual interest in being friends from the economic point of view. It is not wise to say to boycott USA. It was only a security measure and should not be made in to a big issue.

Nine Muslims removed from US flightBy: Kumat | Friday , 2 Jan '09 19:43:49 PM Reply | Forward 90 PERCENT OF ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIMS.SO IF PEOPLE ARE APPREHENSIVE IT IS BUT NATURAL.It is natural for people to be scared of fanatics who believe -Qur’an 9:123 “murder them and treat them harshly”
US flights and MuslimsBy: Rev Joshva John | Friday , 2 Jan '09 19:29:11 PM Reply | Forward I think we are going to a situation where Islamic countries would not allow white persons to get into their planes for such incidents. It is better to check the passangers and then give them back their seats. Otherwise the airlines will have to pay a compensation for such an insult to these people. Ofcourse we cannot distinguish between terrorists and ordinary Muslims but then if Muslim countries began to do tit for that then it will be strange for the world to move into a situation where before you buy your ticket you will have to prove your religion first and then prove that you are not a terrorist as your colour would show and so on.
EnglishBy: Sakeel | Saturday , 3 Jan '09 3:22:33 AM Reply | Forward Rev Joshiva please take some time and then learn English essay writing. I do not understand what you are trying to tell us. I do appreciate for trying here but think about us. keep it up.
