The real question is why any US firm is permitted to do business with these animals but we still can't get a Cubam cigar legally.

I'm all for exposing Saudi Arabia for what they are as much as possible. It shouldn't be news in the sense that it's unexpected. What's telling though is the noticeable extended silence on the subject. We look the other way in the name of none of our business regarding Saudi Arabia but kick an Arab off because of unfounded fear and it rightfully gets 5 pages of bigotry outrage. News? yeah that's the scoop of the month! This, not nearly so much.

I am leary of liberals who go too far in defending Palistinian rights and talk about Israel is if they're an evil nation. Guess what folks, Israel is one of America's closest allies....maybe even our closest. And it's a damn good thing.

Why can't liberals just say Sharia law sucks and has to go? Think about that.

who does that, PR?

Say what, you are making no sense.. after much thought.

No one defends countries with Sharia Law or shows them any compassion, at best the choice is to leave them alone and let them figure it out.. except for HB who wants NOW to respond.

There is no defense of Palestine but many believe that all deserve their own lands and a place to live. If you are referring to the recent comments by Obama, 57% of the Israeli's agreed with it, as it is the long standing policy of the US.

Israel is our ally, for many reasons, one of which is that it is very dependent on our foreign aid dollars... we give them $3.2 Billion a year, they have to be our ally.

I think that's apples and oranges, though.

When it makes news that an Arab or somebody who "looks" Arab or Muslim has been kicked off a flight, it's usually a domestic flight and/or US citizen.

This story is about an international flight. Would they let me onto that flight without a visa?

Lookat it the other way -- would we want foreign airlines ignoring our wishes and putting anybody on flights to the US even in violation of our rules?

(and what would happen if they were permitted on the flight?)

It's certainly valid to discuss whether we should operate differently w/regard to Saudi Arabia and other such nations, but I don't think that comparison is a valid one.

After much thought, Jews boarding Delta flights in the United States that are kicked off simply because they carry non Islamic article of faith leads you to the conclusion that the best thing to do is to sit by and let them figure it out? How about Delta taking a stand? How about us calling them out for intolerance? What would you say if an Arab was denied passage trying to board a flight to Israel from the united states because he was carrying a Koran? Are the Jews here protesting this being unreasonable?

A difference without distinction, morally speaking

U.S. workers in that hellhole have been living with Islamic law for decades (limitations on drinking, free exercise of their religion and being in the company of the opposite sex, etc).

The KSA is an affront to humanity.

Chico knows what I refer to he's just trying to spin it a little.

America's Left Wing has turned and it is becoming more evident each day, liberals will laugh and snicker when it is said but they can' t ignore it, America's Left Wing are now Treating Muslims as their "Chosen Ones" it has now become a Mortal Sin to offer the least bit of criticism towards Islam no matter what kind of barbaric savagery they commit anywhere in the world to mention their barbarism is now considered "Racism"

Protestents, Catholics, Mormons, Witches or most any religion that worships a GOD is fair game and open to any type of trashing and bashing but GOD forbid we dare say anything about "ALLAH".

As I have said many times "a very strange love affair seeing as how this islamic religion beleives in so many things liberals claim to detest" very strange and sort of weird but we all know the liberal brain is a little f-cked up to begin with.

France, The UK, Germany and now the USA big trouble coming for the Jews. I never thought it would happen in America but look closely, you can see it coming, it's starting with the "Turning On Israel" by the Liberal Democrats and it will mushroom.

Your not the only person who knew it but your one of the few with the balls to say it, The New Liberal Left Wing Democrat in America frowns on and is very quick to play their silly "race card" on anybody daring to say anything that may offend or upset the Islamic Community.

Good For You.
