Something Isn't Right Here

This story doesn't sit right with me. So you have 6 guys who move from their assigned seats to a pattern similar to the September 11th hijackers. They then start "praying" and people are pissed that they were escorted off the plane? You're damned if you do and damned if you don't in a situation like that. What happens if they took over the plane? People would be screaming for blood against the police. What happens if that plane cannot be forced to land and has to be shot down?

So the 6 guys are now complaining that they are being treated unfairly and how people should be more sensitive to them. Well how about they be sensitive to everyone else around them? They should be sensitive enough to know that moving seats and "praying" would upset people and make them think that they could be a threat. One guy has the nerve to say that he's got a "double whammy" because he's guilty of "driving while black" and "flying while Muslim". Well suck it up. I'm guilty of "being white". What does that mean? That means even though I've done no wrong against people, I'm guilty of; Slavery, Racism, Fascism, Oppression, Hunger, Poor Dancing Ability (this one is true), and many other evils in the world that I have not created. But do you hear me bitch and complain that I'm taken off to the side EACH AND EVERY TIME I fly and searched more vigorously then everyone else? No. Do you know why? Because I'm a grown up and know that I'm responsible for my own actions, not the actions of people I've never even met.
