Yup, this is going to happen now and then. There are a lot of people who hate and fear Muslims in this country. Not an excuse, though. The pilot showed a serious lack of judgement, and will probably answer for this.

I see it as another consequence of Al Qaeda terrorist activity. Some people automatically equate muslim with terrorism. It is wrong of them to make this kind of assumption, however you can see how this would happen.

Maybe and maybe not as the Cpt. still has final say on who flies on board .
And mistakes do and will happen regardless .

Honestly what did they think was going to happen? Dressed in full Islamic Prayer attire. It was bound to happen especially right after the death of OBL.
The TSA should voice their objections here as well because its obviously doubting their competence as well if the passengers and pilot wanted them to be checked again.
There is more to this story than is being reported. We'll probably never know the other side. This can't be just some captain jumping the gun and kicking them off because he was afraid of them. They gate returned...there is always a reason for gate returning and it obviously isn't the pilot getting out of the flight deck to go meet the passengers after they have already blocked out.

One thing might be that a few of the passengers were getting nervous? Maybe?

TSA schould clean up its own act first unless people have gotten used to being treated less than human .
I,ll say it again for those of you who did'nt get it the first time -CPT .has final AUTHORITY .on anything pertaining to the a/c and that goes for the pax as well since he signed for it .Don't start second guessing the crews.

Problem is, that argument only goes so far. What if the captain starts removing passengers because of the way they dress? Or he just doesn't like the look of someone? Eventually, the airline is going to do something about the captain, because he represents the airline. And if enough trouble is kicked up about this incident, the airline will be forced to deal with the captain now, even if it's PR bull-oney. But it was said earlier...there is probably more to the story that the press either isn't reporting or doesn't know.

Outrageous you say. Hmmm...Outrageous is when I walked into a Great Clips to get my haircut and was told by the manager to leave. She said that the Arab husband wouldn't allow any man to see his wife's hair while she was having it made up. I left realizing that the manager at Great Clips was probably pressured to make a decision because the ignorant husband didn't know any better to have a hairdresser come to their house to beautify his wife's hair.
When someone moves to this country, they had better learn the customs and practices that prevail on a national and local basis. It's called assimilation; the process whereby a minority group gradually adopts the customs and attitudes of the prevailing culture. Even if I move to Colorado, I need to learn and adjust to the customs and practices that prevail.
So please, tame your outrageous feelings when it comes to the good, bad and ugly of any country you address.

Steve,
The people from the Middle East definitely carry a hard core stigma that easily shows up on a democratic litmus test. As far as something more to the story, if there were words of exchange between the captain and passengers, nine times out of ten, the passengers had an attitude problem; it's so easy to have one in this country.

The courts have already sided with Cpt.authority from a case brought about by the ACLU a few years back.
This half ___ reporting by our national media is getting old very old.
How about waiting till all the facts come in before reporting on things like this ?Oh that's right I almost forgot sensation sells.

Some good points made here. Quite often, the part of the story that the media does NOT report is closer to the truth and actual events than what they do report. Unfortunately there are plenty of people who embrace all that the media report as the gospel truth, and trust that they are not leaving out important facts.
There are good muslims of course, but the fact is that no other worldly religion has declared war on our culture anywhere near as much as the radical leaders of Islam have, and no amount of white-washing by the liberal media can change that.
