if you actually believe that

attempted terrorist plots are thwarted pretty often, sometimes they make the news, sometimes they don't, being in a line of work that is constantly targeted by these folks, I get to see a fair amount of these type reports, among other things

btw: I don't think they're trying to gather much intel on how to breach our security measures on flights in N.Africa or the middle east

southwest has had some freaky terrorist close calls in the past that were never reported by the media. This reaction doesn't surprise me at all.

it was dumb of him to be speaking that stupid language on a plane. He must use common sense.

No, it isn't, it's based on the premise that when everyone in the world is either muslim or living under muslim rule, then and only then will there be peace.(yuuuge difference) With them it's capitulate, convert or die. Just like progressives, which is why progressives suck so much muslim arse.

Yeah that's just like progressives

That's why I got a "capitulate, convert, or die" tattoo on my chest, right above my tattoo of a nude Hillary Clinton

Might there be some Muslims and progressives that don't want you to capitulate, convert or die? Is that even a possibility?

Being Arab and speaking Arabic doesn't make you Muslim. Neither does saying "inshallah"


Do you know who the muslim god is?

There's about 1.5 billion (yes, billion) Muslims around the world. How many of them are blowing up airplanes? A couple of times a year maybe? Out of 1.5 billion? Yeah, that's just soooo alarming ...

I scanned the thread and can't believe the scene from The Dictator hasn't been posted yet. LINK

you know, not all Germans were Nazis during WWII, yet millions of Jews were exterminated while the majority of Germans stayed silent.
the same way the silent majority of Muslims stay silent when only a couple of Muslims are blowing up planes a few times a year. Or blowing up airports. Or rock concerts. Or beheading infadels.

Yeah, thats pretty alarming.

the odds are fair that many flights, and I'm not talking LBB-AMA, are probed or are considered for that, terrorists are always looking for a chink in the armor, they try to study security procedures, observe crewmember duties/habits, the odds aren't necessarily decreased because one plot is foiled, how many are in the works at any given time that aren't detected, or weren't executed because of problems with the bad guys logistics? they are very persistent

I speak Rabbles of Germans and I'll say a bit to my friends in person or on the phone. Doubt as a white male I would ever get kicked off a plane for doing so.


I think that has more to do with the lack of Nazis committing acts of terror these days than your skin color.
