This is the full complaint.
Written in the best legal jargon possible.
I do not find any monetary demands other then costs.
They say they were wrongfully arrested, that they were
descriminated against for practicing their religion. and were humiliated and continue to feel anxiety when flying.
So I will start the arguements again, with the document now present.
They were not arrested, they were detained. They were questioned, and when no direct threat was found, they were released. But the airline was not satisfied that the whole plane was wrong, ad refused to allow them to fly thier airline again.
The note from the elderly couple, was not a criminal act. It alerted the crew of suspicious activities. And to
silence passingers with the threat of lawsuits, would risk the safety of future flights. If there was wrong done, it is by the airline. Not the passingers.
The Airline reviewed the activity noted by passingers against the Imams, and decided to error on the safety of the passingers. To restrict airlines from removing people that could be a threat would make airlines unsafe, in the future.
So, as the complait stands, having heard the passingers talking of the facts that brought this issue to pass, I believe the Airline acted responsibly by removing the Imams. Voluntarily asking them to leave would be less
stressful, but if they refused, then forceably removing them would be a must.
I have not heard the sworn testimony, and reserve a change of opinion, if sworn tesimony changes.
This was never just about them praying. It was about praying before and after entering the plane. Getting seat belt extensions when not needed. Changing seats
and sitting in a strategic pattern are all suspcious behaviors. Let alone the allegation of saying pro-Bin laden and anti-American statements, is more to cause doubt.
So, I support the OP, saying this is a way to silence those that may prevent a future hi-jacking. Thus giving another 9-11, a chance to suceed.
The Imam have anxiety every time they fly, well most people that fly have some anxiety since 9-11. welcome to our world.
Now lets discuss this complaint directly, rather then just the generic Islam vs terrorism vs the World arguements.
Strike that, we can not debate/discuss in this forum. So lets debate here:
