So [livejournal.com profile] prester_scott poited out This Article about some muslim religious leaders who are suin US Airways, Minneapolis Metropolitan Airports Commission, and yet-to-be-determined John Doe airline passengers.

There's a lot to be angry about concerning that suit. A lot. Frankly, I'm too exhausted to want to think about it very much at all; I don't have the energy. But there was one bit in the whole article that struck me as really encouraging. Near the bottom, another Muslim group is quoted as saying that not all Muslims support this planned action. Which is itself a 'duh' statement, but it was *how* they said it that gladdened me a bit. In particular:

We will not accept the victimization agenda of organizations like CAIR. Lawsuits like the one announced today exploit the climate of political correctness and at the end of the day are harmful to the Muslim minority in America.


I can't stand the whole 'victim' mentality that's all-too-present in our society, and it's heartening to have some one acknowledge when this or that action is just taking advantage of an over-done political correctness.
