9/11 has been in works since Operation Desert Shield. Even afterwards, while we flew Operation Northern and Southern Watch from Prince Sultan Airbase over Iraq, Bin Laden was fuming at the USA "infidels" being so close to Mecca. It was going to happen someday. GWB just drew the wrong card.

It is not an holy march you are refering. It was during symbolic stoning of satan event, as part of Hajj pilgrimage.

Quote from your article...\n\n"Mistaken identity\nAbdulaziz Al Omari, another of the Flight 11 hijack suspects, has also been quoted in Arab news reports.\nAbdelaziz Al Omari 'lost his passport in Denver. 'He says he is an engineer with Saudi Telecoms, and that he lost his passport while studying in Denver...."\n\n"FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt."\n\nIt's article about confusion over true identities. Is it so hard to believe criminals might steal and use someone else's ID? Their names are probably on list because our government is worried about anybody with slightest risk. Cat Stevens was on no flight list along with numerous infants and bunch a 3, 4 year old kids.\n\nREAD the ENTIRE ARTICLE PLEASE!\n\nTHERE'S REASON THE TITLE HAD QUOTATION MARK AROUND 'SUSPECTS' AND IN THE MIDDLE OF ARTICLE IT SAID IN BOLD FACE 'MISTAKEN IDENTITIES'

A LOT of Muslims need to get their stories straight. Its proven ISLAM means "SUBMIT" or "SUBMISSION" - not Peace.\n\nThe correct context of early ISLAM was "Submit to Allah of die". Anything else is a watered down "variation" of Islam painted up to look pretty and acceptable to gullible westerners.\n\nI'm not trying to be hostile or insultive - just stating the facts. And seeing that the U.E. and Egyptian Mullahs have given permission to lie to Americans and to curse Americans.., (a matter of documentation for Muslims traveling in the US) I see little reason to believe anyone saying Islam is a religion of peace.

Yes.  They have stopped members of Congress from flying because they were on the "No Fly" list.  If you're on it, check the consulate in your area.

I feel you should leave a person's custom alone if you don't believe in it. Why not ask an Arab friend how it feels to walk into an airport and if you can't because you have none, leave it alone. An Arab and Muslims hold their customs sacred and it should not be belittled as an "experiment".

yeh, they boast 'the biggest & best military in history' but ahmed & his AK are kickn our butts. the nsa, dod, faa, ewas, ang, hls, fsn & whatever other fed agencies watch the skies missed 4 of the biggest planes on earth leave their flightplans? look at the timeline, it was 48 minutes after the 1st plane left its flightplan that any alert was made, 6 minutes before it hit. we created & trained al-qaeda. the bush family & the bin laden family go way back & STILL work together. it all stinks of lies too much to believe.

There was a time when I would have been saying that two wrongs don't make a right.\n\nBut, today, I think what's happening in USA and most Western Countries is right.  \n\nThere's a growing antipathy towards Muslims and a lot of American Organizations have already found reasons to remove the Muslims working there and do not find it possible to hire Muslims anymore. \n\nImmigration of these people here is already next to impossible.\n\nFollowing the precedent of the Dutch banning the burqa, it's only a matter of time before this happens here, too.\n\nSome Country, if not the Dutch, will also take the next step of banning mosques there and then everybody will follow.\n\nThen it's only a matter of time before the harsher steps take place, because such a move is bound to have the Imams go berserk and a lot of Terrorist Acts will take place when there will be a clamor for the revoking of their Citizenships and deportations which will, naturally, come to be.\n\nIt's a great pity that some very good people who are Muslims and do not support Terrorism and Islamic Fundamentalism will suffer as a result of all this; but then, what can we do?  That's acceptable collateral damage.\n\nIt's really a very great pity though, that because of these Imams and Fanatics, so many innocent people will have to suffer.\n\nI really wish it didn't have to be so.

That was funny. I was thinking of verse 9.11 of the Qu'ran when I realised it was a direct reference to September 11..\nHowever, though it is a tragedy, there have been many more killings sanctioned by religions that aren't necessary Muslim.\nThat is a sad thing, for religion to be used as a basis of war.

Personally I think it's just another prime example of how this country is going down the proverbial toilet. To flip out to the point that you wouldn't allow someone on a plane because they prayed?? Give me a flipping break!!! That is definitely one airline worker who is going to be swiftly out of a job. I joined the military to defend the things and ideas that make our country what it is...among those things and ideas is freedom of religion, and that freedom also includes the right to practice your religion as you see fit.

i'm american but what i've heard about their immigration policies...i'd say there are loopholes..hijackers forced a plane to land and had 180 hostages they got welfare and subsidised housing for 5 months while the govt decided if they should get citizenship. they should have been arrested for committing a felony.

Remember there are 40+ siblings and the family had disowned Osama long before 9/11.\n\nVarious members of the family were understandably concerned about their safety in the aftermath of 9/11.\n\nThe decision to allow a flight out was taken after consultation with the FBI etc.\n\nAny reprisals against family members, purely for having the same family name, would have caused a major diplomatic incident - the family run a very respected and successful business empire.

No official report corroborates your claims.  You're really embarrassing yourself.  The use of profanity only shows you lack understanding, intelligence, and logic skills.  That is why you let a novice fiction filmmaker spoon-feed you information contradicting everything you saw on that day.  I am sorry for you.\n\nThe terrorists on flight 77 did not need to take off nor land the plane.  The take-off part had been done for them.  They never planned to land.  So what does it matter if they had trouble with landings?\n\nImpossible turns?  Could it be that the terrorists didn't know what they were doing?  I doubt they planned to make those insane maneuvers.  The first attempt at the pentagon was botched, so they had no choice.  They were planning to die anyway, why wouldn't they attempt an "impossible" maneuver?\n\nLight poles at the pentagon were knocked from their break-away bases (new safety design), unlike the poles the filmmaker references in another accident.  Oh, and ripped out of the ground is not damaged???  The poles did exactly what they were designed to do.\n\nhttp://911myths.com/\nhttp://www.ccdominoes.com/lc/LooseChangeGuide.html\nhttp://www.abovetopsecret.com/pages/911_pentagon_757_plane_evidence.html\nhttp://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/06/05/911_documentary_removed/\nhttp://wtc.nist.gov/\nhttp://www.popularmechanics.com/science/defense/1227842.html\n\nNow please shut up.

Well, I think your idea could make sense, but it's a bit of a strech.\n\nHow do you explain that all the hijackers were Middle-Eastern and were connected with Al-Qeada? When you're fanatical enough to join a militant group that fights for your religion it's very hard to buy you off.

Unfortuantely, there is now way to find out from the airline due to security issues.  I believe you will need to keep your fingers crossed and hope your paths cross again.

Their religion is probably Muslim...however, from what I know about the tenants of the Muslim religion, what these people are doing have nothing to do with the generally peaceful Muslim religion.
