"WE DON'T NEED NO EDUCATION"

Imam Qazwini speaks on behalf of 40 Dearborn Pilgrims (sounds much nicer than Muslim doesn’t it?) requesting apologies and compensation from Northwest Airlines. The Pilgrims returning from their Hajj, failed to arrive at the gate at the required 60 minutes prior to departure.

They called for Northwest to apologize, compensate them, and discipline the employees they said profiled them. "Otherwise," Al-Qazwini said, "if Northwest will not do that, then probably we have to call all Muslim organizations to encourage Muslims from not flying on Northwest.” With tens of thousands of Muslim customers, Northwest could be hurt financially by such a boycott, Al-Qazwini suggested, adding that "I hope Northwest will be wiser."

Michigan CAIR leader, Dawud Walid wants to offer us education about Islam and says he prefers education over litigation. Well done Mr. Walid, I am sure I am learning my lessons.

Apparently now, any enforcement of safety rules for those of the Islamic faith is considered profiling. And profiling we all know, is racism.

This is what I have learned:

* When Muslims fail to obey safety rules and regulations it is because those who are enforcing
the rules are racist? No, that doesn’t make sense.

* OK, when Muslims break a rule or fail to show up at the airport gate within the required
time it is because of a language barrier. They are exempt from the consequences of their
failure to follow rules and be on time. Because somehow, if we enforce the consequence on a Muslims it is profiling and that is racism.

So they can’t suffer any consequence of their own mistakes. We will have to suffer the
consequence for them. Gee, that’s pretty twisted.

* If we don’t compensate them and promise never to do it again – we are racist? I ’m sorry
but, these lessons are just too tricky. I don’t seem to be able to grasp the concept – so sue me!

* I have added the word “Pilgrim” to my lexicon of Islam propaganda. If they repeat the word often enough (it is quoted 5 times) its purpose will take affect and g arner sympathy from us for their cause – which now sounds very patriotic.

I will remember next Thanksgiving to be especially thankful the Mayflower pilgrims arrived on time for their special voyage and did not have to suffer the same bad treatment. This saved them the time and money of having to sue the Virginia Company – whew!

I ’m sorry but, these lessons are just too tricky. I don’t seem to be able to grasp the concept and I find myself humming the tune “Another Brick In The Wall” from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” 1979.

“We don't need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom”
The Wall, Pink Floyd 1979
