"Pretending to be Terrorists"

Greg Sargent notes that according to Newt Gingrich, the "Imams on a Plane" should have been prosecuted for "pretending to be terrorists":

"Gingrich cited last month's ejection of six Muslim scholars from a plane in Minneapolis for suspicious behavior, which included reports they prayed before the flight and had sat in the same seats as the Sept. 11 hijackers.

"'Those six people should have been arrested and prosecuted for pretending to be terrorists,' Gingrich said. 'And the crew of the U.S. airplane should have been invited to the White House and congratulated for being correct in the protection of citizens.'"

Got that? If you are a Muslim and you pray, you are "pretending to be a terrorist" and should be prosecuted.
