Got to call complete BS on that one. At best, US Muslims are uneasy as Hell about where they stand in relation to the wider populace, and so they should in this era of Islamic barbarism & endless violence. Another attack on civilians like 9/11 occurs in the future, and you'll see forms of harassment taken to the Nth degree.

I don't care who says something, if a flight attendant is suspicious I want the flight attendant to act on it. Instead of being hassled for her actions she should be commended. Otherwise the next flight attendant will fail to act and another plane will be blown out of the sky or used as a weapon. The fact that the person was wearing a hijab should make her comments more suspicious. Sadly our experience has taught us that Muslims are the people that bomb planes. Facts no matter how horrible can not be ignored just for the sake of being politically correct

US Airlines are inviting some serious disaster if they continue to allow those scare crows on bord their planes.

I flew Southwest Airlines today and they made me take off my shoes. I was humiliated and offended so I deserve a free ticket too!!!

How many Jewish terrorists have attacked the USA? Who commits most terrorism? When was the last Jewish terrorist act at any western country? Besides the snide remarks about Israel that I expect, name any Jewish terrorism committed against the US or any of its allies? The fact is you can't name one incident, can you? So just to point out the truth and suspect those who do commit these acts isn't bigotry, racism or prejudiced it's simply a fact. Plus add to that it's nothing new, go to the top of your page to the address bar and type in the Barbary Coast War. Press "Enter" on your keyboard. Read it!! CASE CLOSED!!!

Your hate makes proud . We get to much credit for doing nothing

MUSLEM WOMEN HAVE INDEED COMMITED ACTS OF TERRORISM TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR DRESSING CODE_- WHILE JEWS HAVE NOT - ABSOLUTELY DONE SO- There near modi'i'n if you might remember- in Reut- there was one example a few years ago of a lady who explode herself next to the military checkpoint- as well how many muslem women have been found carrying weapons under their clothes

One has a tendency to recall all the planes that were hijacked by your Muslim brothers or the destruction of more than three thousand lives on 9/11 Everyone boarding an aircraft has to undergo a very overly intrusive body search because nobody wants to take a chance that some of your brethren will again try to hijack and divert a plane that will wind up with all onboard being murdered by your brothers, or maybe even you Cry we a river !! One more thing, I've never see any expression of love on your part, why not?

I have been on arab (french speaking) talkbacks. I felt the hate there too, against Jews. But, sometimes one balanced voice (rare). Talkbacks are the favorite place for extremists, they can express their extreme views not expressed in regular papers. In great newspapers too, the extremists usually kidnap the talkbacks.

You do not speak for all Canadians. Your lack of knowledge is appalling. Why I bet you think Harper is gawd's gift to the world with the values (or lack of) that you espouse.

Good work pointing out that YNet is subtly raising the bar with showing the niqab instead of a simple headscarf. And well said about the amount of hatred and slime floating about in these comments. I do find such complete lack of decency and common sense very difficult to comprehend.

r due to bad past experience with people from certain origin who attempted to blow airplains, in other words, it is best to be safe than sorry.

#42 Don't be distressed by these bunch of hate filled morons. They are sure to be consumed by their own hate very soon....

Unfortunately they want everyone to change to their racist rules, but they refuse to change to ours. They should not be allowed where they do not follow our rules, otherwise go back to where they came from.

The stats for anti-Semitic crimes and anti-Muslim crimes for last year just came out. 250 crimes were deemed anti-Semitic, 11 anti-Muslim. SO WHO IS GETTING HARASSED IN AMERICA???

start to attack other talkbackers if they voice reasonable objective opinion that show lack of parity in debate I think some of those they should take a vacation and get some education

If I can't see someone's face , I can't make a judgment for safety

What are you waiting for Abby, a pat on the back. Leave it to me and your gonna feel it!

If someone is wearing unusual clothing they stand out. It doesn't matter if its a headscarf, a niqab, a burkha or t'filin. If on top of that anything they say or do raises a flight attendants suspicion that flight attendant needs to be supported. The facts are people bomb planes. Additional facts are the primary people who bomb and hijack planes have been Muslim extremists since the mid-1970's. All the political correctness in the world can not change that. I'm sorry this innocent woman felt violated. But frankly Southwest Airlines should have told her "too bad for you, we'll put you on the next flight now that you're cleared." No free ticket no apology. Its not safe to be politically correct.

discussion showing varying opinions Maybe you should take the vacation, since you don't realize what it's all about

Whipping to the death or beheading.
