When in Milan
These ladies need to get their own plane:
Three Arab princesses were thrown off a packed British Airways flight after refusing to sit next to male passengers they didn’t know.
The dispute – in which the three princesses from the ultra-conservative Qatar royal family demanded segregated seating – left the London-bound plane delayed on a baking Italian runway for nearly three hours.
Furious passengers whistled and clapped as the row intensified before the captain eventually ordered the women to be escorted off the plane.
But seriously, this is an issue for Ask the Imam (thank you Radius, Tim Blair catmeat swine of al-Strayliyah)
Question 8361 from Qatar:
Imam, recently I was shopping in Milan, and upon boarding the vile infidel conveyance of the air, discovered to my horror I had been seated next to some leering, sweaty, pork-eating Crusaders. I believe they intended to drink alcohol and paw me. What should I have done?
Imam:
Well, sister, your only recourse in such as matter is to throw a fit, hold the plane up for three hours so that the heads of the infidels are baking in the sun and their children are wailing, and finally, get thrown off! Next time bring your martyrdom belt, silly girl! This is yet another example of why we hate them.

Solution: Let the Qatari princesses nurse their row-mates. As the fatwa said, this’ll make everything copacetic. You can suck their tatas, but woe unto you if you see their ankles.

Just for the record,…
this “protest” on the plane had some “let’s draw attention and create a stir by praying loudly in a group at the airport” overtones to it. (and then let’s ask for “seatbelt extenders” )
(Muslims when traveling are “forgiven” prayer observances 5X day if inconvenient and do not make such demonstrations in middle eastern airports)
On this flight, originating after a day of “shopping” in Milan, everybody was seated (business class), seat-belted and the plane was taxiing when the 2 “protesters” reportedly stood up to complain about the women’s seating.

Agreed, tanstaafl. The Islamists are getting bolder. Mayhaps it’s time for some impromptu knuckle jousts, eh?

I believe the airline erred. Of course they should have accommodated the princesses’ fear of being seated next to unrelated men by seating both of them in one of the lavatories, leaving the other lavs free so that the other passengers were not too inconvenienced. I think the door would close with a little pushing. If the male relatives continued to object, they could be shown into the cargo bay. Lots of room there for the ego, and wonderful acoustics.

Once again, Rebecca, I thank you for making my day. I couldn’t agree more. The best way to handle any idiocy like this is to comply with it to the letter, making certain that no one else’s rights are stomped on, of course. Your solution fits that requirement wonderfully.
