Regarding “Muslims taken off Jet get Apology”: On Saturday, I was reading this article and was wondering why two U. S. Muslim advocacy groups are so angry. After September 11, we as Americans were told to be observant for suspicious activity whether its aboard a plane or a bridge. On New Years Day, multiple passengers over heard a suspicious remark coming from one of the nine Muslims passengers. These passengers were concerned and alerted Air Tran employees who than took proper steps by alerting Air Marshals. Air Marshals then took proper steps in removing all nine passengers and conducting an investigation. All passengers were removed from the plane, re-screened and allowed to re-board. I applaud those passengers for being observant. Let us all understand we live in a dangerous world. We, as people, must be observant to prevent another 9\11 from happening. Therefore, no one is owed an apology for being inconvenienced. Together as people we will continue to win the war on terror.
