What? No Snark About Imams Calling For Muslims To Boycott Airlines?

Fourteen of the best blogs on the planet comment on the imam airline boycott call...

Shahin, president of the imams' group, called for a boycott of US Airways after an agent and his supervisor, without giving a reason, refused to sell him replacement tickets Tuesday morning. "I'm not going to stay silent," Shahin said. "I came to this country to enjoy justice and freedom." The US Airways supervisor told Shahin that his tickets had been refunded and that he would have to go to another airline. The supervisor offered Shahin a customer service phone number.

... and not a single one of them asks why he couldn't have made the request on September 10, 2001? For shame:

Of course, Allahpundit - snark be upon him - gets close with his best boycott evuh comment. But other than that, nada.

Just LGF pointing out that the imam spokesman for the other imams has been linked to a frozen Hamas charity and JihadWatch reporting that he had open pre-9/11 ties to Bin Laden. Boring.

Lileks clocking in with a "not only do they probably have terrorist ties, but they're also very rude" report from the imam's conference? Still boring. Soon to be US Representative Keith Ellison was at that meeting, and it was being run by sharia-law-imposing CAIR darlings? Yawn.

Sorry. It just takes more to get any outrage these days. Imams linked to Hamas charities are not going to crowd pardoning turkeys out of the news cycle. Just not unique or newsworthy enough. There has to be something more. Example: this loony spokesman had expressed skepticism that Muslims were involved in 9/11. Now that's getting close, but it's still not enough. Did he actually go on an explicit rant about Jewish involvement? No, no he did not. So he's not even crazy enough for the DKos comments section. "Mildly crazy" is just not enough to stand out of the crowd. Sorry.
