Another Clueless Obama Administrator

National security nightmare: John Brennan and the notorious flying imam
It's outrageous. Is ANYONE in the Obama administration paying attention to what's going on around them, or even who they are talking to?

     

Democrats help make it easier to kill us...

... by defeating a provision that would have protected tipsters who report suspicious behavior from nuisance lawsuits.

From Investor's Business Daily: Keeping The Flying Imams Airborne

[...] Were it not for the courage and sacrifice of the passengers of United Flight 93 who forced their plane into a Pennsylvania field, many in Congress might not be here today, with a gaping hole where the U.S. Capitol still stands. We wonder if this fact is appreciated by those trying to block final passage of the so-called "John Doe" provision protecting from legal action those who report suspicious behavior on airplanes. [...]

Indeed. How many more people have to die before the Democrats get a clue? I wish that were just a rhetorical question, but I'm afraid we are going to actually have to find out the hard way.

Fly the Unfriendly Skies... or be Sued

(You can read Cox & Forkum's related commentary and links HERE.)

CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) has a history of litigating against people as a way to silence their critics and avoid scrutiny. Now they are going after the passengers who complained about the flying imams disturbing behavior.

CAIR has a very specific agenda, and is not even universally supported or trusted by all Muslims. Please follow the Cox & Forkum link above, it has many good excerpts and links about this issue.

I'd like to see US Air launch a counter-lawsuit, and launch a discovery probe into CAIR and it's activities. But I fear the insurance companies will force the airline to settle out of court, which will only encourage more such lawsuits. I hope I'm wrong about this. CAIR needs to be countered, investigated and exposed.


UPDATE 03/22/07:

An excerpt from the Washington Times:

Muslims offer to help 'John Does' sued by imams

[...] Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, a Phoenix-area physician and director of American Islamic Forum for Democracy -- a group founded in 2003 to promote moderate Muslim ideas through its Web site (www.aifdemocracy.org) -- told The Washington Times his group will raise money for legal fees for passengers if they are sued by the imams.

"It's so important that America know there are Muslims who understand who the victims are in air travel," said Dr. Jasser. "But I hope it doesn't get to that point because the backlash will be even greater when Americans see Islamists trying to punish innocent passengers reporting fears." [...]

The motto of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) is "At home with American liberty and freedom". Truly, THEY are the kind of Muslims we need to be supporting and encouraging.
