A Muslim man was removed from a Southwest plane after saying "inshallah", Arabic for "God willing", during a phone call.
Would this have happened to a Christian? I don't think so.
The last time I checked the Constitution, we have this little thing called freedom of speech in the US. This man did nothing wrong. Yet he was taken off the plane and searched, as was his luggage. Although the search found nothing, he was not permitted to reboard the plane.
Now, before people start saying that there is nothing wrong with treating Muslims in this way because Muslims have been responsible for acts of terrorism, remember the words of Dr. Denjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
