It's ignorant of YOU to assume that the sole reason these people were kicked off is because they were muslim. I'd wager that in the course of this captain's career he's carried more than one muslim in the past, therefore there was clearly something that set the people in question apart which we are not privy to.

Kudos to the ASA crew. I'll be damned if I ever push back from the gate with a doubt in my mind as to whether or not someone on my airplane is a terrorist, regardless of the reason. If they want to be offended they can do it while being questioned by some TSA goon. If you want to call me a racist for that then feel free, it doesn't hurt my feelings. I may have some choice words for you as well though.
