Congressman Peter King has responded quickly to a lawsuit by a group of Imams against Americans who reported their suspicious activities.
On November 30, 2006, a group of passengers aboard a US Airways flight headed to Phoenix, reported suspicious activity by a group of Muslim Imams. The Imams were heard praying loudly before boarding the plane, talking about Saddam Hussein and seen moving between seats. The alert passengers notified airport security and the Imams question.
Now the Imams are suing the alert American citizens for their vigilance!
This lawsuit could have serious repercussion on American security. Americans security could be greatly compromised by holding the threat of legal action over the heads of watchful citizens. If this lawsuit is allowed to go forward it would have deterring effect on Americans who wanted to report a potentially menacing incident.
Fighting crime is the responsibility of all Americans. Having alert, watchful and cooperative citizens on the streets and in the air are vital components to effective police work. Therefore, terrorism deserves the same vigilance and cooperation.
Congratulations to Congressman King to responding quickly and having the courage to stand up for the security of Americans.

We need more Congressman like Peter King. Let us remember the Congressman when we go to the voting booths as he seeks higher office.
This man is a true American! I true Patriot God Bless him in his endeavors.
Peter King isn't someone to be proud of. In fact, while attacking members of the Islamic community on Long Island, he had no problem with their campaign contributions. To date, he has yet to return the contributions.
Oh and there is already "threat of legal action over the heads of watchful citizens" because you have a right to redress if falsely accused.
What will stop people from filing false police reports because they hold a grudge against someone?
Let the courts hear the case and rule on the merits. Undoubtedly the courts will find that while the Imams did nothing illegal, neither did the people who reported them.
If in a case where there was a report made in malice, there has to be recourse for the aggreved.
And before haling King as some sort of hero, he has been a supporter of international terrorism for decades. Heck, the secret service considered him a possible threat when Reagan visited Nassau County back in 1882.

What a handsome man. Beats my Congressman Weiner!
kingwatch.trashspot.com thats what the site should be called. King is a true American hero that ought be thanked rather than maligned
Just checked your site www.kingwatch.blogspot.com no comments because the site is a partisan rag. Try to be fair and you might have a better impact
Someone needs to proof read - Reagan was old, but not old enough to visit in 1882.
No one accused these people of an act of terrorism, they simply reported suspicious activity - sounds like they had good reason.I would have done the same. The airline and security officials made the decision to act on that information and remove them from the plane. Unelss the people lied about what they heard, they should not be able to be sued.
If these Imams are able to sue vigilant citizens for raising concerns, the citizens should be able to counter-sue the Imanms fpr harrasment.
