EDITORIAL:

We urge the Ummah to raise up and condemn barbaric acts perpetrated by our own brothers towards our sisters. We should have zero tolerance towards their anti-Islamic & criminal act and we hope that below perpetrator is apprehended and punished to the fullest extent of the law.

On the second note mentioned below in which a Arab male was racially profiled and discriminated, the outcome of him winning close to quarter million dollars reward is a clear victory for FREE SPEECH. The American Justice System compared to other justice systems around the world, has confirmed yet once again the JUSTICE PREVAILS. (Disclaimer: We realize that this does not applies to ALL cases of injustice)

240,000 dollars awarded to man forced to cover Arab T-shirt

New York: (AFP) Jan 5, 2009:

An airline passenger forced to cover his T-shirt because it display ed Arabic

An airline passenger forced to cover his T-shirt because it displayed Arabic script has been awarded 240,000 dollars in compensation, campaigners said Monday. Raed Jarrar received the pay out on Friday from two US Transportation Security Authority officials and from JetBlue Airways following the August 2006 incident at New York's JFK Airport, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) announced. "The outcome of this case is a victory for free speech and a blow to the discriminatory practice of racial profiling," said Aden Fine, a lawyer with ACLU.

Jarrar, a US resident, was apprehended as he waited to board a JetBlue flight from New York to Oakland, California, and told to remove his shirt, which had written on it in Arabic: "We will not be silent."

He was told other passengers felt uncomfortable because an Arabic-inscribed T-shirt in an airport was like "wearing a T-shirt at a bank stating, I am a robber,'" the ACLU said.

Jarrar eventually agreed to cover his shirt with another provided by JetBlue. He was allowed aboard but his seat was changed from the front to the back of the aircraft. (news.yahoo.com)
