it's a pity instead of understanding the rights of passengers to fly without the threat of bodily harm, the council of islamic relations in the usa will support the imams.
blind support to fellow muslims has; brought that community to its present status, where every muslim is viewed as a terrorist.
instead, had such organizations started condemning; their fellow co-religionists when they went wrong, including condemning the suicide bombings everywhere in the world, they would not have been encouraged to do such dastardly acts in the name of islam
the airlines and the government should support passengers who dare to complain in such circumstances.
