LAX staff get special Muslim sensitivity training.

I remember when we passed laws that men and women could not be treated differently even to the extent that a sports team did not have the right to keep a female reporter out of the locker room before or after a game. I guess we can flush all those laws down the footbath sinks now. Well, at least if you are Muslim.

Last week, MPAC completed a quarterly training for Transportation Security Officers (TSO) with about 2,200 officers receiving training on cultural awareness about Islam and Muslims. This was an important achievement for MPAC and the Muslim American community in light of the recent airport security changes and because TSOs are responsible for screening passengers and luggage.

MPAC President Salam Al-Marayati, MPAC Civic Outreach Coordinator, Saadia Khan and MPAC volunteers, Nisreen Malhis and Sireen Sawaf, conducted the trainings at Los Angeles International Airport for the past two months. They discussed the diversity of Muslims around the world from cultural dress to language to tenets. The four trainers taught the TSOs how to properly handle a Quran and discussed the different ways Muslim women and men choose to cover or dress. For example, the TSOs learned if a woman wears hijab and needs a secondary screening she should be screened in a private area by a female TSO officer.

The training sessions allowed trainers to discuss the common practice of Muslims praying in various areas of the airport, adding that they do this because LAX does not have a designated prayer area as other airports do.

The officers were extremely receptive and interested in the information presented. They had many questions regarding the meaning of jihad, sharia, and the rights of women in Muslim countries.

LAX is the third largest airport in the world, making it important for Transportation Security Administration to conduct cultural awareness trainings in order for officers to effectively and efficiently keep the airports secure rather than deciphering cultural tenets. MPAC commends LAX for taking the initiative to implement these trainings.

Earlier this year at the last quarterly training, the TSA invited asked Nirinjan Khalsa of the Human Relations Commission to highlight the Sikh religion.

  1. PC has twisted the minds of those who run the USA.

    Treating Americans like terrorists and treating muslims like Kennedys.

    America has a date with karma of the muslim kind that will make 9/11 feel like a Thanksgiving Day parade.

    Only themselves to blame. Too many voted for this muslim sympathiser in chief.

    Spangler calls him the anti-Truman.

    Truman supported the desires of Jews to create Israel. His Democrat cabinet was not really in favor with it. Will pissoff the muslims. He ignored them.

    Obama supports the desires of muslims. His Democrat cabinet is not really in favor with it. He ignores them.

    American public via govt TSA or via media is fed baby food.

  2. What about MY cultural sensitivities!?! Like strangers don’t have a right to touch me or view my naked body!?! Let’s all just ignore the cultural sensitivities of Muslims – like their burning desire to kill the infidels and their religious compulsion to terrorize us until we submit to them. Those Dhimmi TSOs are all wearing the wrong color shirt. What some people will do for a paycheck! Geez!

  3. “2,200 officers receiving training on cultural awareness about Islam and Muslims.”

    If only they really did we would be moving in the right direction.

  4. Who’s going to train the Muzzies on how to coexist with Christians and other infidels? America better wake up. Because of Muslims wanting to kill us, 4 year old boy with leg braces has to remove his braces and walk by himself through the scanner. Its not 4 year old boys on Braces trying to kill us, its Muslims. We are being held hostage to the sick Politically Correct and evil muslim asskissers in Washington and the White House.

  5. We all know that Obama doesn’t believe that the Americans have any rights, and Infidel Guy his staff is far left, and doesn’t support Israel anymore then he does. Obama was raised by Communist grandparents, his father figure in Hawaii was a communist poet. His friends in Collage and Law School were far leftists and his cabinet is filled with the far left, some of them proudly proclaim themselves to be communists. Face facts, Obama hates Western Civilization and the nations that gave the world Western Civilization, he hates the US because we are the strongest nation on earth and our heritage is from Western Europe. A simple look into the background of any and all of his cabinet shows that they are far left and they also hate the West.

  6. One way to look at the TSA’s federally mandated behaviour, is that it is a test by government to see how far it can oppress a free but now decadent western society before it rebels.

  7. Muslims should get the same training.

    Once that happens, then maybe I’ll accept being part of a multicultural society that values diversity.

    Until Muslims respect me and those who are not Muslim, then I won’t ever respect them.
