Should the muslim "imams" have any right to practice the behavior they did on the U.S. Airways flight?

no. when i board a plane i don't intend on being stripped searched and probed anally. i have the right not to sit on a grounded plane for 10 hours (jet blue). these "imams" knew exactly what they were doing. they sat in the same formation on the plane as 9/11. this day in age if i see muslims on the plane, my eye is always on them. people can call this "racist" but i just don't care, i'm not putting my life on the line to be PC.

When you board a vehicle of a "common carrier", you submit to the jurisdiction of the pilot or whoever is in charge of the vehicle. I have seen a bus driver kick a passenger off his bus. That is his right. I think this comes from the precedent of admiralty law, which implies that the captain of a ship at sea has total jurisdiction over his passengers with power to lock them in the brig and to perform weddings and funerals. On an airplane, the crew have complete authority to restrain a disorderly passenger or to put him off at the next stop.

No. Do you want a right to safety, or the right of the Muslim sitting next to you to plant a bomb under your shoe? All passengers must be checked out thoroughly, to be fare. It is the Liberal idea, that if any Muslims are suspected and checked out alone, and no whites, or blacks, the airlines are racist, as well as any American on board. Now is that stupid or what? Yeah, I am so scared a white European is going to bomb an airplane!

Yes, any activity which interferes with the peace and comfort of fellow passengers should be off limits. It's not like the other passengers could get off the flight if it bothered them. Concessions need to be made in confined areas. Even if your Muslim.

For the sake of public safety, i think a certain amount of rights are forfeit when you board a public conveyance.
However, to the best of my knowledge, no "imams" perpetrated 9/11, at least as participants. They certainly were egging them on from the sidelines. It's funny how easy it is to send someone else to do your killing for you, and to sacrifice their lives because of your own agenda. Americans aren't guilty of that, or are we?
Or maybe you're not refering to 9/11. If not, and we're talking about praying to Mecca, I fail to see how that threatens anyone except a Fox news viewer.

As on any ship the captain is king and you are his subject and at his disposal. You have only the right to do his bidding.
Thats why I don't fly or ship out. I drive.

well, I travel quite a bit, and I have learned to leave my prayer rug, my prayer flags, my prayer drums, my rosaries, my holy water, my votive candles, my incense, frankincense and myrrh at home or a pack it all along with my C4 and dynamite in my checked luggage
