Default Advocating discrimination???

quite frankly I am glad that the muslims are questioned more then normal

Leatherboy: Once you start something like this, there's no stopping it. Already, the man everyone once knew as Cat Stevens is now banned from entering this country apparently because he is guilty of nothing more than converting to the Islamic faith. Several years ago, some American Air flight attendants burned pillows and blankets used by passengers attending a gay rights rally in Washington. Nothing ever happened to these employees. What is to prevent a US-based airline from refusing to transport two males, who are perceived to be gay, because of the gate agent's; captain's; or a flight attendant's belief that they will be exposed to AIDS?? To my knowledge, no US-based airline has EVER been subjected to a significant fine because of discriminatory behavior. If someone perceived to be Islamic, or someone wearing a turban, clears security and otherwise complies with all rules applicable to other passengers then that person should be transported. I am NOT a Muslim. However, I've lived long enough to know that there is no such thing as discrimination being confined to one group.
