The true purpose of the highly publicized, highly staged incident with the six non-flying imams becomes apparent: it was a stalking horse for the far-left Democrats’ and Islamists’ plan to destroy the effort against radical Islam inside the United States: Advocates push Congress to ban profiling.

WASHINGTON - The repercussions of an airline’s decision to remove a group of imams from a commercial flight in Minneapolis could be heard in Congress this year, with civil rights groups pushing Democratic lawmakers to ban racial profiling.

The incident happened in November, made national news and reinvigorated an old proposal that got little attention from the GOP.

Now, a champion of the legislation, Rep. John Conyers (news, bio, voting record), D-Mich., is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction on the issue. Sen. Russ Feingold (news, bio, voting record), D-Wis., who sponsored legislation to ban racial profiling in the last Congress, now chairs the Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution.

Katherine Kersten was right.
