I notice a lot of extra visitors on the site at the moment. Was this site mentioned on the radio by any chance? If so, please leave a comment to let me know - and welcome to the site!
Pajamas Media has an exclusive report exposing the aberrant behavior of the faking imams. And the comments on it are well worth featuring.
It's called a dry run, the 9/11 murderes took several before that dark day of killing.
RobertinSeattle :
Most travelers are not aware of the fact that major airports in North America have very quiet and secluded non-denominational chapels available somewhere in the terminal. Anyone is welcome to use them in peace with no disruption to other travelers. In Seattle, the chapel is located upstairs on the second level and quite easily accessible 24/7. So as you suggest in the headline, they're up to something. And it ain't freedom of religion.
Scrapiron :
Now it is time to round up these six terrorists and charge them with a terrorists act. Enough information is in the police report to convict all six.
Cosmic Charlie :
I wonder what the reaction from the Muslim community would be if a Christian walked into a mosque and started talking about salvation and audibly praying to Jesus? Or if a Hasidic Jew just walked into a mosque?
Seems more like a case of "Entrapping While Muslim".
Certainly does seem like a plot to weaken airport security by deliberately causing concern then making a huge fuss about it.
P.S. I'd like to know if Christians in Saudi Arabia can pray in the airport terminals there?
R L Holter :
These people are checking us out. They think we are all fools and politically correct.thank the Lord for US Airways and the wonderful way they handled this provacative situation. Personally I have had it with these Muslims and their ilk. We have been to complacent about them and there ambitions. We are at war folks... get it in your heads.
Treat them accordingly.Elinor Stickney :
A flight attendant on another airline, had a similar experience. That flight was delayed for two hours while the credentials of the imans were checked. I cannot understand why these other incidents are not publicized.
That's just the first few comments. There are many more excellent ones with the article.
IF THIS SITE IS SLOW TONIGHT, it may be because a story (Dems to Gut Missile Defense; Bush to Announce 'Orbital Battle Station'...) on the Pajamas Media servers is getting linked by Drudge. A Drudgealanche is one of the most massive kinds of traffic generators in the 'sphere. Congrats to Pajamas Media!
It seems unlikely, but it can't be ruled out. A September 28th post on this site about South Park, which had been linked by Pajamas Media, began with the words, "So it begins." And this week's episode of South Park ended with the same words.
It was a really funny episode. There's a line in it along the lines of "If only there were no religion, there would be so much less violence in the world. No Muslims killing Jews. No Christians picketing abortion clinics." That is so great.
Then they get to the future, and everyone's an atheist, and the United Science League is having a war with the United Science Association. It was hysterical.
Reuters had admitted that the Hajj photos were faked via Photoshop. But up until now there had been little or no confirmation from MSM that the many photos spotted by the blogosphere as staged, had in fact been staged.
Hot Air posts video of Reuters CEO Tom Glocer, saying that he suspects fauxtography is widespread. What's also worth noting is that he admits that staged photos are likely widespread, as well as Photoshopped photos:
I would think it's extremely likely, that there are incidents all around us, of manipulated images, and staged images.
Jerusalem AP Bureau Chief, Ravi Nessman
(This is a photo of a video screen.)
At a convention of international media in Jerusalem on August 28th, Ravi Nessman, the Jerusalem AP Bureau Chief, said:
The "faux graphs" were very difficult for us, because after that our credibility plumetted, and the credibility of the bloggers who covered it skyrocketed.
This documents how far-reaching the effect was, of the blogosphere's coverage of this story.
The convention was organized by the Mideast Press Club, which is a project of The Media Line, a news organization located in Jerusalem, whose mission is "to provide credible, unbiased content, background and context to local media outlets throughout the Middle East and around the world, including the United States, Canada, Europe and Australasia."
Last night at a private residence in Los Angeles, the founders of The Media Line spoke. They are Michael and Felice Friedson. They presented video from the conference, including the clip quoted above.
They also provided fascinating insights into media coverage in the Mid-East. One was that they've found that there appear to be a number of Arab Palestinian reporters who:
...don't want to be owned by the P.A. They don't believe the P.A. supports democracy, but they see a free press as a harbinger of democracy.
The Media Line has an excellent registry of Mid-East bloggers. You can find it here.
Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs and Pajamas Media, turns out to be great at being interviewed on TV. He's relaxed, calm, collected, well-spoken, and does a great job of making his points. Michelle Malkin has the video. (He's discussing the doctored Reuters photos.)
I had a chance to meet Ann Coulter last night. It was at a fundraiser for Jeffers Dodge, who's running as a local Los Angeles candidate, for the 47th district.
Candidate Jeffers Dodge, Fashion Industry Consultant Tom Phillips, Author Ann Coulter, and Homeless Activist Ted Hayes.

I had a fun conversation with Ann. She's really nice.
Photography notes. Digital photographers may be interested to hear that the snap in the preceding article was taken with no flash in very low light, with a shutter speed of just 1/6th of a second. That's usually too slow to get anything usable from a shot of a person who's moving and talking, let alone something as sharp as that particular picture. To get the shot, I balanced the camera on the back of a chair in front of me, and set it take 5 shots in a row whenever I pressed the shutter button. Out of all those shots, there was a particularly good one. It also helped a lot that the camera, a Panasonic LX1, has image stabilization, to take some of the camera shake out of the image.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD that Los Angeles International airport was totally shut down yesterday for several hours.
A spokesman for Southern California Edison said a vehicle that crashed into a power pole in Palmdale caused a power fluctuation, which prompted the air traffic control center's backup generator to automatically turn on. About an hour later that generator failed.
"Their backup generator sensed there was a problem and kicked in, but for some inexplicable reason it malfunctioned," said Marlon Walker, a utility spokesman.
...At Los Angeles International Airport, the world's fifth-busiest in passenger volume, 221 flights with about 25,000 passengers were delayed, diverted to other airports, or canceled, said airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles.
I was in a plane that was supposed to land at LAX at 7pm. We circled over Phoenix until about 7, then landed in Tucson. (Las Vegas airport was packed with planes finding a place to land - and Phoenix had a sandstorm). We stayed in the plane until around 12pm, got into LA at 1pm, and sat in the plane again until 2pm waiting for a gate to open.
Yuck.
I'm travelling; posting will resume later this week.
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY. And God bless our troops.
IT'S A BUSY DAY IN THE BLOGOSPHERE, with hot discussions on GWB's immigration speech, Conservative exhaustion, and (at least here, since I went to a major panel event on the subject last night) on Iran. Let's get to it.
I've got the flu big-time this week. Posting may continue to be light for a few days.
Last week's Saturday Night Live opened with a skit in which Lindsay Lohan played GWB's press secretary, and told a roomful of reporters, (quoting from memory): "The public doesn't like you. They don't think you're doing a very good job."
When it gets into a Saturday Night Live skit, you know the word is starting to reach the general public.
