Yet another airline crawls on all fours and apologizes because it inconvenienced Muslim passengers who showed up late for a flight: The Muslims arrived at the Frankfurt airport at 7:30 a.m. Jan. 7 on a charter plane from Saudi Arabia…….

… Radical Islam is a political ideology, like communism or fascism, that threatens most Muslims and all non-Muslims worldwide….

Islam is making the planes run on time.

Quick call The Pope! You just found the one good thing that Islam has accomplished.

This is nothing more than a series of things planned: The flying Imams, This, (taking bets on what’s next). Lets call the next one before they can do it.

Reacting swiftly to allegations of discrimination, Northwest Airlines apologized to a group of 40 Muslims today for barring them ……

That reminds me of my experience with that airport back in the mid-80’s.

I was stationed in Germany for the Army from 1985 to 1987, when the Red Army Faction (anyone remember them?) was active, and that airport was patrolled by men with machine guns and guard dogs.

There were also advertising posters featuring bare breasted women proudly displayed in the public areas. Talk about a culture shock!

I wonder how the Muslims would feel about that today?

I remember that; I was bouncing around from NATO base to NATO base then. As much as I wanted to fly the soft civvy flights to go home, or on leave, it always made more sense to fly outta Ramstein on a uncomfortable C130 or 141 because the bad guys were kind of active back then.

Michael Bloomberg at an MLK event in NYC:

“My personal favorite, the person that I am going to endorse, if he chooses to run as a New Yorker, is Congressman Rangel,” Bloomberg said at an annual King Day worship service and celebration at the……

Winner: Heathrow on a sunny Summer afternoon ( esp the terminal for M.E. flights: 2 0r 3 , I forget )

first runner-up: Toronto
2nd runner-up: O’Hare ( unless you stay on United )

Not the worst airport experience of my life, though. That honor has to go to Sheremetyevo. That place is beyond awful.

Funny that it’s Frankfurt. I’ve had half a dozen stopovers there, and I’ve literally never once made my connection.

I’ve been through Frankfurt airport only once, just last year. It was honestly the worst airport experience of my life. (Munich airport was fine, though.)

Interesting guy, though. Click here and scroll down a little more than halfway to see what he had to say about Jews vis-a-vis Christ’s crucifixion. I’d say he’s qualified to stand for election in Virginia.

Oh good grief, AP. The two statements hardly compare in context. I thought you were better than that.

I was in Turkey a while back and had a chance to visit a mosque. My visit while tolerated made the Muslims there a tad bit unhappy. What I was told is that Muslims are born as Muslims.. The also believe that Christians are born as Christians just as Jews are born Jews. This serves as the foundation for when they say that Christians and Jews are lower forms of humanity. What they don’t understand is that no one is born a Christian. Anyhow, lying to a non-Muslim is perfectly acceptable behavior for Muslims. The sooner we understand it and develop a “thicker skin” and some backbone, the better off we will all be.

No, silly infidel, there are rules for dhimmis and then there are rules for their islamic overlords.

Funny that it’s Frankfurt. I’ve had half a dozen stopovers there, and I’ve literally never once made my connection. That airport is so huge and stupidly planned, these whiners should demand compensation from them, not the airline (or, say, no one).
