    This, they could have dressed like normal people and never have been kicked out.

    The absolute absurdity of all of this is that while they remove the imams from the plane for dressing in traditional garb, the actual extremist with the bomb is sitting on the plane dressed as a college frat boy.

    Please cite me with one example where a terrorist hijacked a plane while dressed in traditional garb...

    All of these arguments amount to the justification of racism, and have nothing to do with security. The fact that the ignorant public have associated this dress with extremists is not something that should be indulged at the expense of other's rights. These men have the right to dress in the manner of their choosing. The fact that these were religious leaders makes it all the more glaring. While some priests may choose not to wear their collar at times, many others will wear it under all conditions. It is their right to do so, and while it may result in some distasteful or ignorant comments being slung at them, it should not result in violence or discrimination.
