Jacpher Posted March 13, 2007 Remember the six Imams who were removed from US Airways flight at MSP airport last year? They filed a lawsuit against the airline. Ironically, Jamal Omar of Minneapolis disagree with the Imams over the lawsuit. Good for the Imams. Punch them in the wallet where it hurts the most. Here's the Video One of imams removed from plane says incident caused them extreme harm Six Muslim imams ordered off a US Airways flight at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport last November want to hold the airline responsible for how it treated them, one of the imams on the flight said at a press conference today at the Council on American-Islamic Relations' office in Washington, D.C. Six Muslim imams ordered off a US Airways flight at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport last November want to hold the airline responsible for how it treated them, one of the imams on the flight said at a press conference today at the Council on American-Islamic Relations' office in Washington, D.C. The imams filed a discrimination lawsuit Monday against the airline and the Metropolitan Airports Commission, claiming they were removed from the plane because of their race and religion. "To date, we continue to be defamed and feel anxiety every time we fly," Didmar Faja said today. "We are respected community leaders and this incident has caused us extreme harm." Omar T. Mohammedi, whose New York City law firm is representing the imams, said this is not the first case against a U.S. airline for discrimination and it won't be the last.
