NOW THE FLYING IMAMS WANT MONEY. WHAT A SURPRISE

Do you remember the six flying Imams at the Minneapolis Airport a few weeks ago? These clowns made a big deal of praying at the gate before boarding. They were heard making anti-American comments by Arabic speaking passengers. They adopted the same seating pattern on the airliner that the 9/11 hijackers used. They asked for seat belt extensions they neither needed nor used. These Muslim Imams did everything they could, including shouting "Allah Akbar," to draw attention to themselves and to make the passengers on that flight uneasy. Finally the Captain of the flight did exactly what he should have done. He had them removed.

I am of the firm belief that this is exactly what the Flying Imams wanted to happen. I believe that after their meeting in the Minneapolis area they went to the airport with the intention of creating a stir and with the intention of being taken off that flight before it departed. Everything played out exactly the way they wanted it to play out.

And now its time for the pay out.

We learn now that the Flying Imams want an out-of-court settlement from US Airways for their "ordeal." In other words, they want money. They have gone to the dangerous Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Washington for help in their blackmail attempt. Remember, my friends, CAIR is not some benign, harmless Islamic organization. CAIR spokesmuslim Ibriham Hooper has spoken of his desire to see America under Islamic Law, as have other leaders in the CAIR organization. CAIR is more of an apologist for Islamic jihadists than it is an organization dedicated to improving our relationship with Muslims in America.

Now CAIR wants to participate with the Flying Imams in their attempt to extort money out of US Airways. Will US Airways cave and pay the Flying Imams a few million in hush money?

What we may see here is the beginning of a giant Muslim scam, a scam to be repeated over and over and over across this country. A way to use both our concerns over security and our idiotic penchant for political correctness to harass various American institutions while collecting no small amount of cash on the side.

It's very easy, really. Just go into some public place like an airport, restaurant or shopping mall, and then start to draw attention to yourself. Throw down a prayer rug and start banging your forehead off the floor. Speak loudly in Arabic in a hostile tone. Shout "Allah Akbar" a few times. Look threatening. Just ham it up, play on the legitimate fears of the American people, fears that someday soon some Muslim lunatic is going to walk into a restaurant or a shopping mall with a bomb. Sooner or later someone is going to call the cops, and sooner or later you're going to get kicked out of the restaurant, shopping mall, car dealership ... whatever. Then, as soon as that happens you go running to CAIR screaming something about "Islamophobia!"

Then, of course, will come the request for a meeting with the business that threw you out, and the demand for money.

Let's see how many more times this plays out.

CHRISTMAS TREES BACK AT SEA-TAC

Well, it looks like this tempest has simmered down a bit. The rabbi that initiated the controversy by demanding a Menorah next to the tallest Christmas Tree at the Seattle airport has backed down. The claim now is that it was his attorney who used the "lawsuit" word, not the rabbi. All threats are off the table and the Christmas Trees are going back up.

I love it when the people of this country fight for their Christmas holiday. These absurd attacks have to come to an end.

Now we have atheists suing over church bells in Connecticut. Are you folks about ready for a "loser pays" system?

KOFI THE APPEASER'S LAST WORD

Soon to be former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, in his farewell address yesterday, took his last shot at George W. Bush and the United States of America. For somebody whose job and paycheck for the last 10 years wouldn't exist without the American taxpayer, he sure seems just a big ungrateful. Here are just some of the things Kofi had to say about us:

• "Human rights and the rule of law are vital to global security and prosperity." Absolutely...that's a good start. But then he said that when America "appears to abandon its own ideals and objectives, its friends abroad are naturally troubled and confused." Translation: when the United States does not appease Islamic terrorists, Iran and Syria are not happy.



• Here's another good one: "The Security Council is not just another stage on which to act out national interests." Once again, what he really means is the United States should not pursue its own interests at the U.N. We're supposed to go along with the other thugs and dictators that are members of that worthless organization.
