US Hajj pilgrims get anti-bias guide

WASHINGTON -- A US Islamic rights group has issued guidelines against discrimination for American Muslims going on Hajj.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said Tuesday that it was advising Hajj pilgrims to Mecca "to be aware of their civil and legal rights as airline passengers." The group said that it had also set up toll-free hotline at 1-800-784-7526 "for anyone who believes their rights were violated."

CAIR has also published a pocket guide for Hajj pilgrims entitled Your Rights and Responsibilities as an American Muslim.

"As an airline passenger, you are entitled to courteous, respectful, and non-stigmatizing treatment by airline and security personnel," the group said in its statement Tuesday. "You have the right to complain about treatment that you believe is discriminatory."

American Muslims who had cause to think that they had been "treated in a discriminatory manner" should "ask for the names and ID numbers of all persons involved in the incident. Be sure to write this information down," CAIR said.

The group said that such individuals should also "ask to speak to a supervisor" and inquire whether they had been "singled out" because of their "name, looks, dress, race, ethnicity, faith, or national origin."

"Given the increase in the number of complaints CAIR has received alleging airport profiling of American Muslims, we believe it is important that all those taking part in this year's Hajj be aware of their legal and civil rights," said CAIR communications director Ibrahim Hooper.

Until the "peaceful" Islamic world stands up to terrorism, they're just going
to have to deal with the stereotyping...

With that being said, I have to present a quote that I've heard, and it makes a lot of sense that our Muslim friends need to remember.

" Not all Muslims are terrorists,.......but all 9/11 terrorists are Muslims "

On Brit Hume's show on Fox News, I recently heard columnist Charles Krauthammer give an excellent analogy to the Muslim Imams' complaints. Those representing the Imams wondered how we would feel if a group of Catholic priests were removed from a flight in a Muslim country and treated like prisoners, after having been seen simply praying to God in the terminal.

Krauthammer's response was this. If a group of 19 Catholic priests had hijacked four airliners in one of those countries and flown them into prominent and highly populated locations, killing 3000 of their citizens, then it would be perfectly understandable if Catholic priests were treated with a high degree of suspicion in the future, especially if they were also observed making loud anti-Muslim comments in the terminal building prior to a flight.

C.A.I.R. is not what it seems to be . . . . it's actually a radical organization supporting exactly the type of people that should be profiled, but poses as the Muslim NAACP.

Ty... I ask this as a caring online friend... Your messages the last few months are all balanced, helpful, thoughtful... sort of like you crawled up Chase's fanny. What gives?

I, for one, miss the the old Ty... you remember... the BITING sarcasm and frequent questioning of any poster's sexual preference.

Just an observation.
