Arabs on a Plane
I got a prefect idea for the sequel to "Snakes on a Plane", how about "Arabs on a Plane."
The plot can follow something of the following, there is a flight between two countries, say Spain and Britain, on this flight, while the passengers are boarding, there are these two Asian men and they start talking in a language which the white passengers don't understand, now these could be Arabic, or it could well be another language like French, German, Indian, Chinese, Welsh, Gaelic or whatever, so long as the English don't understand it. Now this causes mass panic with all the English passagers, who refuse to board the flight and comfort there fearfull children.
However a lone, brave, off duty America Air Marshell saves the day, as he single handedly tackles these evil Arabs, and prevents them getting on the flight and foils their plan to fly the plane into Air Force One, which is on the way to the UK to Meet the British Prime Minister, in a plan that would distablise the world and lead to Bin Laden taking over the world from his Iranin HQ!
The two 'Arabs' at the end are bravely shot by the American, in a last ditch attempt to save a member of the cabin crew he has fallen madly in love with to stop the Arabs from killing her cos he is a pretty White woman, who also happends to be America, or maybe half American and Half English, in any case these terrorists, I mean they would be obvious to all to be terrorists because they speak Arab and have a skin color of a terrorist and practice Muslium, anyway that is my pitch, what do y'all think?

Ok firstly the disclaimer, The spelling of 'color' is intenionally American spelling because its meant to be a Hollywood pitch, the ignorance in it is a knock at several things, the sterotypes of terrorists in the media, the idea of racial profiling (Oh, sorry Passenger Profiling) in security messagers in flights etc.
Lets get to a serious business, who is to blame for the events ar that airport?
The Media firstly plays a role in the paranoia, fear and suspection that is gripped the passengers. The television and paper press both play a role in the blame. Firstly television news, such as the BBC (I watch the BBC see) News, when interviewing musliums, although they seem to pick a loony, like with the recent Teorr raids, they talked to one member of the community who was saying how it was American fighter jets that destoryed the Twin Towers! Why did they have to talk to someone who obviously a loony? They also did talk to a "moderate Muslim" but also interviewing the nutcase wasn't really called for in my opinion.
The tabliod press is adpt at causing fear, panic and paranoia, they have a history of it. Like when they managed to get pedotritions attacked when stirring up a moral panic about pedophiles. Remmber when a mindless mob attacked a home of a pedotrition because they were too thick to tell the difference between the name pedotrition and pedophile, in a blind rage because of the tabliod's stirring. I think that the actions in the airport were caused by a simular stirring, this time by keeping hyping up the threat of terrorisms to beyond the level which there is a threat, and causing people to be more scared then they need be.
The passengers do also have to carry some of the blame themselves too, since if they thought pass their blind prejudice that two Asian men have to be terrorists , they would have relaised that they did get pass the tight security of the airport. From what I heard the media suggest, the two men were appearently wearing 'heavy clothing' which suggests that the passgeners feared they have bombs strapped to them. However, if that was the case then they would never have gotten that far into the airport, since they have to walk through a metal dectors and send anything they are carrying through an x-ray machines, plus the security staff would have searched them if they were worried. It not as easy just walking onboard, and the threat is still not that big, and not as big as some people seem to have been lead to believe.
The Islamic communiy also must carry some of the blame, they do not accept that there are extremists minority and that they must have to tackle the problem of extremism themselves. They cannot leave it up to the government and then cry victimisation when they do take a measures to tackle the extreme few and protect British society. It does seem to people that musliums not tackling the extremists in Islam, they are sending out a signal that they support the terrorists, because they don't do anything to tackle them, be it out of fear or ignorance. It still, however, sends out the wrong signal, and it helps spread the fear and the suspection. The feeling that Musliums are not willing to ingrigrate within British community and want British society to bend to their will, as some of them do want, also sends out the wrong signals and the fact that some of British society is starting to appear to do so, thanks to Politically Correct goody goodies, makes the sitution even worse.
So the final question is that if the fear and paranoia carries on long before we stop Asians flying altogether to stop the risk of terrorism? or sgegrate them on buses, trains and planes?
Before anyone saids that it might be far fetched, just take a look at what fear has done in the past in your history books....
