Muslim pilot reveals shock at being ordered off flight By Arifa Akbar Muslim pilot reveals shock at being ordered off flight By Arifa Akbar Published: 22 August 2006 A British Muslim airline pilot yesterday described the "humiliating" moment when he was hauled off a transatlantic flight just before take-off. Amar Ashraf, 28, who was born in Wrexham, North Wales, said he felt " demoralised and humiliated" after being told to leave the flight from Manchester to Newark by a stewardess, and then being questioned by armed police. He believes his removal was down to having a "Muslim-sounding name". Mr Ashraf, 28, a British Pakistani who was returning to his job as a pilot for one of Continental's partner airlines in the US, will lodge a formal complaint with Continental Airlines, with whom he was travelling, as well as with the US authorities. His complaint follows growing concern among British Muslims over incidents in which Asian people have been removed from flights, as well as anger over the "passenger mutiny" in which two men were ordered off a plane bound for Manchester. Passengers became concerned by the two, who were said to be speaking Arabic and looked of Asian or Middle Eastern appearance. Mr Ashraf said: "I was a standby passenger and I'd been told I could travel at 9am that morning. I'd gone through the same stringent security as every other passenger. I was patted down twice and my hand luggage was checked." He added: "I'd got my boarding pass and got on the plane on business class. The aircraft's doors had closed and it got pushed back from the gates. Then we sat away from the gates for an hour. I must have fallen asleep because I was woken up by a Continental employee who wanted to have a word with me. "I got out of my seat and noticed the aircraft door was open and the stairs had been moved back to the door. The stewardess told me there were no standby employees allowed to fly that day, but I was sure there were other standby passengers on board the plane. I was demoralised and I had to walk down the stairs, which was really humiliating." He was then approached by two armed police officers who interrogated him. Mr Ashraf said the officers asked him if he knew why the US government wanted him off the flight. He was forced to go back to his family home in Wales and paid £800 for an alternative Virgin flight two days later. He is convinced that his racial profile prevented him from flying on 10 August, the first day of the heightened security alert at British airports. "I guess I just meet the profile. They told me they weren't taking any passengers on standby but I think it was racial profiling. I was the only person asked to get off and can't believe there weren't others on standby tickets. I think as a Muslim I was an easy target. I understand the reason for the delays but I feel this was discrimination," he said. The airline he works for is a partner airline of Continental, which allows him access to standby flights. In a statement, Continental Airlines said it could not comment on a specific case. US Homeland Security was unable to trace the incident. Since 11 September 2001, every British flight bound for the US provides a " manifest" list in which the name of all passengers travelling on a plane is provided to US security 15 minutes after take-off. A source said Mr Ashraf's name was not on the list of passengers leaving for Newark that day. Meanwhile, the two Muslim men who were removed from the flight in Malaga were still "badly shaken" following the experience on Wednesday, a source said. Asian passengers are increasingly targeted as climate of fear takes hold Amar Ashraf's recent eviction from a transatlantic flight is the latest in a series of aviation security scares involving Muslims and travellers of Asian appearance. Last Wednesday, some passengers refused to board a Manchester-bound flight from Malaga because they thought two men of Middle-Eastern appearance were behaving suspiciously. Passengers said the men kept looking at their watches, and were wearing heavy clothing. They were ordered off the plane and questioned by police. The incident was condemned by Muslim leaders and some security experts, who warned that judging people by their appearance would be counter productive. It added weight to comments by Chief Superintendent Ali Dizaei, who said passenger profiling would create a new crime of "flying while Asian" . Another example occurred last Thursday, when Azar Iqbal, from Manchester, travelled to Atlanta with his family on Delta airlines, only to be separated from his wife and children, held for questioning by US immigration officials, and deported to the UK. A website used by commercial airline pilots has highlighted an incident where two British women on a flight from Spain to the UK complained about flying with a bearded Muslim, even though the man had been security checked twice. Last week, an airport terminal at Tri-state airport in West Virginia was evacuated and a Pakistani woman was questioned by the FBI after security checks wrongly identified explosive liquids in her hand luggage. Dr Ahmed Farooq, a Muslim radiologist from Winnipeg, Canada, was escorted off a United Airlines flight in Denver last week after reciting prayers that were regarded as suspicious by passengers. He said the incident was tantamount to "institutionalised discrimination". In June, five Russian Muslims, including three veiled women and two men, flying home from the Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh were taken off the plane after the captain said he was alarmed that the women were wearing the hijab. The passengers flew to Russia the following day, although the women were asked not to wear the hijab.

A Foolhardy War, Unleashed by Fools by Eric Margolis DIGG THIS The news about the Mideast most North Americans get is heavily biased by the media’s need to cater to reader prejudices and misconceptions. To find out what’s really going on in Israel, I turn to that nation’s finest newspaper, Haaretz. Last week, Haaretz columnist Doron Rosenblum wrote a remarkable, explosive analysis that no one would ever dare print in North America, where any criticism of Israel brings a storm of abuse and often terminates careers. The real cause of the latest Lebanon war, wrote Rosenblum, was not seizure of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbullah, but an earlier TV speech by Hezbullah’s leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, that provoked Israel’s leaders to fury and an act of supreme folly. Nasrallah taunted Israel’s new triumvirate of PM Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Amir Peretz, and Chief of Staff Dan Halutz, sneering they were "small" compared to Ariel Sharon. "Adding fuel to the fire," wrote Rosenblum, "Nasrallah emphasized the 'small' with his fingers." According to Rosenblum, "bad-tempered" Olmert, "egocentric" Peretz, and "arrogant Halutz" flew into rages at this grave Levantine insult to their manhood, and sought to prove they could out-Sharon Sharon by turning a minor skirmish into an all-out war. This sounds bizarre, but remember, George Bush Sr invaded Panama after its ruler, Gen. Manuel Noriega, called him as a "wimp." Israel’s old Lebanese curse just keeps getting worse. A number of respected press agencies have reported the skirmish that triggered this war didn’t occur in Israel, as Israel claims, but just inside Lebanon. If true, this would hugely embarrass Israel and sink it deeper into the hole it has already dug itself after laying waste Lebanon and killing scores of civilians at Qana with a US-supplied missile. Israel first claimed it was targeting missile launchers firing from Qana. Its amen chorus in North America went into high volume to justify the attack. But Israel’s military now admits there were no rockets being fired from Qana the day of the attack. A decade ago, Israeli artillery killed 106 civilians there. Former US President Jimmy Carter wrote that Israel’s savaging of Lebanon is "inhuman and counterproductive." He echoes world opinion. Israel has become the target of international condemnation. One of Israel’s finest thinkers, Uri Avnery, says Olmert and Peretz don’t know what they’ve unleashed: "they are not running the war, the war is running them." Like Bush in Iraq, their generals promised them an easy victory and instead produced a human, political and military disaster. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice looked even more pathetic than usual after proclaiming a temporary humanitarian cease-fire in Lebanon – which Israel promptly ignored. While pretending to talk peace, she was actually blocking international efforts to impose a cease-fire in the hope that Israel would quickly finish off Hezbullah. She deserves to be fired. Like well-trained seals, the entire US Senate, and all but eight of 435 Congressmen, voted full support for Israel’s war, even blocking calls to limit civilian casualties. Israel may dominate Washington, but is having a far tougher time with Lebanon. In a little Thermopylae, Hezbullah’s 3,000 fighters astoundingly held off Israel’s mighty military machine, the world’s fourth strongest, for twenty-seven days so far. Not bad for what Israel calls "a bunch of terrorists." Many Israelis are now questioning the invasion’s logic and objective. Israel’s latest plan: occupy and depopulate a 20-mile deep chunk of Lebanon to the Litani River until an international force comes in and subdues what’s left of Hezbullah. Israeli armored bulldozers are now busy razing villages in what it calls the "security zone." So far, one million Lebanese – a third of that ravaged nation’s population – have been made refugees by Israel’s bombing and shelling. Few nations seem prepared to send troops to southern Lebanon without prior agreement with Hezbullah. Israel battled Hezbullah for 18 years, losing nearly 800 men, and ultimately lost the war it began. Attempts by the US and France to ram a resolution through the Security Council calling on Hezbullah to disarm, but Israel to remain in occupation of southern Lebanon, have been denounced by Lebanon’s US-installed government, Hezbullah, and the Arab League. The Bush Administration wants other nations to go fight Hezbullah, just as it has managed to arm-twist NATO into fighting Taliban in Afghanistan. France wants to reassert its old colonial influence in Lebanon. But the deeper Israel advances into Lebanon, the more its troops are exposed to Hezbullah attack. Bombing and shelling won’t defeat Hezbullah, which represents a third of Lebanon’s people and is its de facto army. Eighty-seven percent of Lebanese now back Hezbullah. So far, the war has badly backfired for Israel. Israeli operations are edging dangerously close to Syria. Damascus may be reluctantly forced into the war in spite of its obsolete armed forces. That’s fine with President George Bush who aims to use Israel as a proxy against Iran’s allies, Hezbullah and Syria, sparing US casualties before November elections. Tiny Lebanon has been shattered, with billions in damage. It is hard to see how Lebanon, already saddled with crushing debts from rebuilding after the 1980’s war, can ever afford to repair the current devastation. Continuing the war may turn ruined Lebanon into a chaotic, anarchic failed state and incubator for more violent groups. Those who destroy Lebanon will have to deal with its ugly consequences.

So what is the point of Sheekh Bin Jibin's Fatwa - its nothing more than narcarah from the old rift of Sunnah and shia a centuries ago - it's not necessary today to preach such a thing. and that is why Imam Shaafici changes his Fiqeh from time to time, to rise to the occasion, so Imam Ahmed bin Xanbal.

Comment(Guaridan) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The global battle for ideas cannot be fought with guns Bush and Blair's belief that Islamism could be bombed into submission was deluded. We need to find a middle way The Article: The Article - Source The Comment by Krisco August 7, 2006 05:26 AM Ms Ashley, your article is titled "The global battle for ideas cannot be fought with guns". I used to believe in this philosophy once. Until the unprovoked Israeli carnage on the infrastructure of Gaza and Lebanon was unleashed. I say 'unprovked' because now there is evidence that Israel and the US dscussedplanned this invasion weeks before the alleged kidnapping if Israeli soldiers, although why this should be a provocation now is puzzling when the US and Israelis have been doing this daily to the Palestinians, Lebanese and others for nearly 50 years. Remember 'extraordinary rendition'? Now, as Emma Brockes said in Saturday's Guardian, I have reached my 'tipping point' even though I am neither a muslim, nor an Arab, nor even a Jew. In spite of being against violence and guns, I shall borrow a phrase used repeatedly by that arch criminal Blair and his cohorts in the cabinet about the illegal war on Iraq in response to requests for withdrawl of our troops. "We are where we are!" Thus: I am greatly relieved that the Lebanese government and Parliament have rejected the jointly proposed (and one-sided) Franco-US UN resolution. Good for them. This is exactly what they should do. As a minimum, Palestine and Lebanon should demand that any UN resolution should insist upon: 1. Israel being reduced to the same commensurate state of devastation that Israel has wrought upon Gaza, Rafah and Lebanon to ensure parity. 2. Israel paying compensation to Palestine and Lebanon for its terrorist activities and to restore the infrastructure of these democratic nations. 3. Israel complying with UN resolution 242 and withdrawing all Israeli terrorist forces to pre-1948 borders. 4. Israel removing all it forces, settlements from the occupied territories in Syria and Lebanon and withdrawing to at least ten miles within the border of Israel. 5. Finally, preventing Israel from getting any armaments from the US or the UK Once this parity is achieved then Palestine and Lebanon can begin considering any UN resolutions drafted by nations other than the US. This last suggestion might sound a bit unnecessary. Ask yourself this. Would Israel accept any resolution drafted by Iran/Syria? Now it makes sense. Not two weeks ago, Olmert asked his troops to ensure that Palestinians did not sleep. Now is the time for the Lebanese and Palestinians to ensure that the Israelis do not sleep for the next thousand years at least. After yesterday, you can see that the cowards of Israel are just beginning to taste some of their own medicine. The smile has been wiped off the faces of Olmert and Rice. Having sat on her fat **** for more than two-months and having witnessed the rape of Gaza and then most of Lebanon, she now declares that she wants the countries of the UN to pass "a resolution quickly". According to Ewen MacAskill et al in today’s Guardian: "Ms Rice said the resolution would provide some clarity this week by showing who obeyed the ceasefire call. "We're going to know who really did want to stop the violence and who didn't," she said." Some temerity!! At last Israel is beginning to hurt. At last Rice – who as a child allegedly experienced discrimination, abuse and persecution in Alabama for being black – is being brought back to her senses which means the US is hurting as well. Palestine and Lebanon should deny Israel and the US time to re-group and re-arm. Bush called for the destruction of Hezbollah. No surprise that Blair is not rushing to condemn this call as he did with the alleged statements by Ahmedinejad about Israel. Thus, there should be no surprise if the people in Palestine, Lebanon or elsewhere (and not only Arabs and muslims) call for the destruction of Israel.

The prime minister of Uk is the mouthpiece of US's state department. the American have overall control of UK foreign policy, so no wonder if they sack Jack Straw who was predominately electcted by Muslims in up north - in Blackburn, they can even sack and install anyone they want, as Isrealis runs the US foreign policy, did anybody think that John Bolton works in UN other than Isreal.
