Default Imams Removed From U-S Airways Suing Airline

MINNEAPOLIS -- Six Islamic leaders who were removed from a U-S Airways flight say they'll sue the airline for discrimination.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations says it will provide details on the lawsuit tomorrow at a Washington news conference.

Six imams returning to Phoenix from a religious conference in November were taken off a plane in Minneapolis, handcuffed, and questioned.

They had prayed in the airport before the flight, and after they boarded, a passenger who considered them suspicious passed a note to a flight attendant.

When the men returned to the airport the next day, the airline refunded their fares and refused to sell them new tickets.

A U-S Airways spokeswoman did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press, but the airline has said prayer was never the issue.

Oh gee, what a suprise. This was intentional. It was a setup in no uncertain terms!
