Turns Out, Saudi Airlines Discriminate Against American Muslims All The Time. Who Knew?
You remember that scandal from January, where Northwest Airlines bumped 40 American Muslims off a plane after they arrived from Saudi Arabia? CAIR threw a hissy fit and Northwest Airlines promptly caved, offering all sorts of abject apologies. At the time, we thought that CAIR was in the wrong because the 40 Muslims showed up at the ticket counter 20 minutes before the flight took off - not the best strategy for making an international flight. But now moderate Muslim organizations have had a chance to explain things to the press, and it turns out that the bigotry runs exactly the opposite way that the bullies from CAIR pretend it does:
Saudi Arabia discriminates against Americans? Even if they're Muslim? And no one ever says anything about it? You're kidding!
