Six Imams kicked out of US flight: US Islamic group
Afp, Washington
Six Muslim imams were handcuffed and removed from a US Airways flight at a Minnesota airport over "suspicious activity," a US Islamic civil liberties group said yesterday. The six Imams were questioned by authorities before being released Monday following their removal from the airplane at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). "The Imams, who were questioned Monday evening by authorities and then released, told CAIR that they were removed from the US Airways flight 'for no reason' and were 'humiliated' by being handcuffed and taken off the plane in the view of other passengers," the Islamic group said in a statement.
