This video and post is wonderful! Thank you for sharing it with us Chuck. Its a beautiful thing.

I hope it helps educates people so we can bring more peace to the world. Our ignorance is responsible for so much death and suffering.

The other thing disturbing to me about the recent incident here in Minneapolis, was the caption of a photo in the Star Tribune that said, the clerics were NOT talking about Saddam Hussein as the police report stated.

So, then if I was boarding a plane talking about Saddam, would that be a problem? Are we being policed now for what or who we are TALKING about? I can understand if they were discussing the finer points of bomb making, but come on, anyone could be talking about Saddam or Bin Laden at any moment. I guess if you are Arabic or Muslim though, you better watch out. What country is this anyway!?!

Thank you for sharing, though the video of a video was kind of a strange place to get artsy like that.

No attempt to be artsy here, though maybe the screen capture comes off that way.

I thought the same things, Lorika. I don't completely blame the folks who got spooked, or disagree with the idea of erring on the side of safety. But it's pretty obvious here that the situation was GREATLY magnified by ignorance. Ignorance and fear of an unfamiliar people and religion that are foreign, and yet live in our communities. Especially after incidients like this, I think we're obligated to make an effort to learn.

Thanks for this video Chuck, and for helping to familiarize some of our neighbors with others. In terms of safety, I don't oppose erring on the side of caution, but I was really shocked by this incident because to me, praying and wanting a seatbelt that fits, etc., don't fall into the category of unusual or suspicious behaviour.

Maybe a little late posting this comment, but I have to wonder if these pathetic God-fearing intellectual bums started praying before they boarded their second flight that day. Or did they learn a lesson; perhaps I'm just being inconsiderate and didn't realize their religous obligation at those moments didn't require another silly episode.

Hey Islmaic imam, thanks for tanking into consideration the feelings of your fellow american, and perhaps considering what distress you may cause to anyone in public by making a deliberate spectacle of yourselves. These type of thoughts never entered your warped God fearing Islamic mind? Are all Islamics inconsiderate like you, or is it just the educated intellectuals of your ilk that allow little consideration of the thoughts of others and allows you to act like some kind of social retard? Islamic imam, do you often find a need to have to continuously cause public distressful moments in the name of your bums religion? Similar to a peacock with its feathers in bloom, do any of you bright, educated Imams have other religious thoughts that require that you must act in a manner distressful to the infidels in public?

What ...?! That queer book of yours says you have to perform certain odd behaviors, and you have to speak odd phrases, and you have to do so whether there are infidels around you or not? Oh I apologize, I didn't understand the drive that possesses you. Yes, ... nothing should stop you from acting like a prehistoric dinosaur with your idiotic behaviors towards "your fellow american" infidel. And now you want to go to a court of law? Which one of you drew straws and won, enabling the lucky duck to speak the words Sharia Law inside of an American courtroom? Wow, that's almost like becoming a martyr right? What did you say, ... it's only the beginning? Of course it is.

And of course we American saps have to be overly considerate of their odd behavior in public, butt did the Islamic imams perhaps consider other peoples feelings and thoughts by acting that way in a public airport? No, these religious bums were oblivious to the reaction they would cause, empathy to their "fellow american" was not considered because God is commanding them to do things regardless of what an infidel may think

Give this disrespect an inch and ten years from now the public schools have to interrupt class and allow some children to perform kook religious rituals in front of the children of infidels. And of course the American saps will go along with it because the majority of americans will have become sappier saps by then.

Of course, sugar and spice these thoughts of mine before anyone uses them at any future judicial proceedings that will be.
