My god...The Co-Pilot's a Muslim, too! Our Corporate air transporters are very sensitive to passenger concerns. Not so much about air travel, but definitely about baseless accusations of terrorism. Maybe They Only Profiled Him Because He Went To Berkeley
I know a bit about what's happened with Russia's strategic capability since the end of the USSR, and I'm pretty sure the only way they could deliver nuclear warheads to the US is by FedEx.
"...if it was two Muslim women who didn't want to sit next to Marco Campos because of their religious beliefs, we'd be defending them...." Absolutely not. You want to request a different seat that's your choice but inconveniencing someone else because of your archaic religious beliefs is not okay. Buy three seats together or don't fly.
That's going to be the next step and not just for Muslims.
"Welcome to your flight! Did you bring your own adult diaper or do you want one of ours ($29.95)? Once you've put that on, our team will help you put on your straitjacket. Thanks for flying with us!"
maybe I don't see moving to another seat as a grave inconvenience because I've been orange carded so many times and those Imams have probably been orange carded 10 times as much. maybe I think that they probably got groped by a TSA agent and it's not a huge imposition to ask one person to switch to a seat. and we have no evidence to show that the seat that she moved to provided any more inconvenience than regular air travel.
and then they sue the airlines and the religious right uses it as a means of saying "LOOK, WE DON'T HATE MUSLIMS! WE'RE GOING TO DEFEND THEIR RELIGIOUS RIGHTS!!! AS LONG AS THEY ARE SEXIST!!!!!!! JUST LIKE US!!!!!!!!" and we get more RFRA. this does not work out well for anyone.
It's way past time for us to stop crawling on our bellies to accommodate people who require the rest of us to listen to the voices in their heads.

They should have applied the Southwest policy and thrown the priests off the plane.

I can't get past the absurdity of asking a guy why he's speaking the language he's speaking. Um...because I speak it?
I'm with the Church of Universal Libation - we believe in the freedom to drink according to one's conscience.

Spanish-speakers use "primeramente Dios" the exact same way.

they didn't say they wanted an empty seat next to them. they said they wanted someone of the same gender.
Ojala sea...
BONUS: it's a borrowing from Arabic!

One time, if it wasn't for the deviled eggs that made me puke, I believe the gin would have killed me. No gin since.
I hear Al-Burāq Airlines has seats available on the night flight.
But that's not the point.
That would be perfect.
