Dear SamT , what folk can’t travel on an aircraft with two Muslims? I don’t know of any nationality or religion who practices that.If you are thinking of Jews then you are wrong. And if you are thinking of Israeli’s, did you know 25% of the Israeli population is Arab, and most are Muslim ? Israel wants to compete against all countries, regardless of race,color,or religion.

Sam T….It seems you have a problem with rationality. Firstly the air travel with the two Muslims is about another group of ppl at another time, in another place and for another reason. From all accounts THE WHOLE PLANE felt the same way about the two Muslims (Israeli Arabs actually). That is perhaps why they were removed from the plane. Secondly this story is about a sporting activity. Politics and sport should never mix. Apparently this Muslim-populated country and the idiots who run this competition are anti-Semitic and anti Israel. And most probably racist. The fact that our Israeli competitors WANTED to travel to Malaysia indicates that our Jewish sportsmen and women have nothing against Muslims. And certainly nothing against mixing politics and sport. NOW that is TRUE sportsmanship. It all seems perfectly rational to me. Be more discerning, SamT. It will be good for your health.
