Unbelievable: "We Will Not Be Silent"

[rhythmaning]

chickenfeet2003 had this on his journal, and I just have to repeat it here.

From BBC.com: Arabic T-shirt sparks airport row - An architect of Iraqi descent has said he was forced to remove a T-shirt that bore the words "We will not be silent" before boarding a flight at New York..

So much for "the land of the free."

I googled and found a slightly different version. Apparently it happened mid-air. No phone call, but they were passing a cell phone around and sounded excited. So they turned the plane back to Amsterdam and the rest was as I said.

A Dutch passenger who protested was also kicked off the plane. Here (http://english.ohmynews.com/ArticleView/article_view.asp?menu=A11100&no=313649&rel_no=1&back_url=). :)

Thanks! I had just looked for the story on the BBC, and couldn't find it.
