Yeah, they freaked people out, and they probably should have been pulled from that flight, people have gotten in trouble for less (breast-feeding mothers for example), but insinuating that if you're Muslim you don't have the same rights/priviliges as another American (or another immigrant with a different religion). Disgusting.

I totally agree with everything you said.
That said, if I'd been on that plane, and those gentlemen hadn't been asked to leave, I would've gotten off and taken the next flight. Is that racist and intolerant of me? Yeah, probably. But I'd be a living intolerant racist.
