Young Arab Men Not Feeling the Love

British holidaymakers staged an unprecedented mutiny - refusing to allow their flight to take off until two men they feared were terrorists were forcibly removed.
The extraordinary scenes happened after some of the 150 passengers on a Malaga-Manchester flight overheard two men of Asian appearance apparently talking Arabic.

The incident fuels the row over airport security following the arrest of more than 20 people allegedly planning the suicide-bombing of transatlantic jets from the UK to America. It comes amid growing demands for passenger-profiling and selective security checks.
It also raised fears that more travellers will take the law into their own hands - effectively conducting their own 'passenger profiles'.

If every Muslim, male and female were thoroughly searched before every flight, this kind of thing wouldn't happen. The flying public would be safer and there would be less animosity on display all around.

Patrick Mercer, the Tory Homeland Security spokesman, said last night: "This is a victory for terrorists. These people on the flight have been terrorised into behaving irrationally.
"For those unfortunate two men to be victimised because of the colour of their skin is just nonsense."

When people's lives are being threatened by young Muslim men it is quite rational for people to fear young Muslim men. In fact it's quite rational for young Muslim men to fear each other.

In the long run it might be more economically sound for the airlines to chip in and finance a "separate but equal" policy for air travel. There would be a small fleet of jets for Muslims only, and then there would be separate jets for the rest of us. Would that be politically incorrect?
Perhaps. But I'll bet that if we put it to a vote...
