I'd like to clarify- most Muslims tend to actually be Asian. The second largest group is then Black, and the race list goes on.

Funny how everyone typically relates Muslims to arabs with large beards and 10+ kids. Most Muslims actually live in Asia.

Indeed most Muslims are from Pakistan, the Indian subcontinent and Bangladesh, they're still brown. They would've also been targeted on that plane just because of their appearance. None on that plane could know this family was Muslim, you don't fill a form to state your religion before entering a plane. I repeat, they were targeted because of their appearance.

Never said I disagree. I just wanted to clarify.

 

Anyways, that's not the point. I do agree with you that this was unfair. in all honesty, I don't want the risk of extremists and all, but that doesn't justify what the airline did to the family. They went through gates of security(probably got double checked), how the hell are they going to do anything? If they were going to do something, they would have done it earlier.
