WASHINGTON —  A Muslim family removed from a plane Thursday after passengers became concerned about their conversation about the “safest” place to sit says AirTran officials refused to re-book them, even after FBI investigators cleared them of wrongdoing.

All eight members of the Irfan family from Alexandria, Va., and a friend were kicked off an Orlando-bound AirTran Airways flight after two other passengers overheard what they thought was a suspicious remark.

An unnamed source told MyFOXDC.com that they overheard one member of the family talking about the safest place to sit on a plane if a bomb was on board, though the family denied the word “bomb” was ever used.

“We’re very careful about what we even say on the plane,” Atif Irfan, who was kicked off the flight, told MyFOXDC.com. “Even if we were to say that’s the bomb, we wouldn’t even say that on the plane because we know to avoid certain buzz words, and we’re very careful about this kind of stuff so, I don’t know where they would have thought this whole incident even started from, quite frankly, what words we used.”

Kashif Irfan told the Washington Post that other fliers heard them discussing the safest place to sit and misunderstood the nature of the conversation.

    On the whole, so far, terrorist acts at the moment are being linked mainly or exclusively to Muslims who follow the cult of Islam
    There is nothing to think about, no one wants to take the chance and travel with them at the best of times, let alone when they are talking like that for people to overhear.
    It is not just my opinion, Muslims should be banned from the skyies and travelling, as should any follower of evil Islam.

    Its so silly. If a person was discussing the safest place to sit on a plane if there was a bomb, how likely would it be that they would plant a bomb? Surely if there was a person who was planting a bomb and was planning on going down with the plane, he would not be concerned with where the safest place to sit was--it would surely be a suicide effort. And of course, how could people actually think that a family with two young children boarding a plane would be a security risk in this way. Its a sad statement about blind and unthinking paranoia in American society.

    Incidentally, in the last trip I took, I heard an American woman wondering where the safest place would be on a plane were it to crash, and I never thought twice about it, except that I would never expect to live through it, no matter where I sat. Of course, when a Muslim says the same thing, some paranoid people cry terrorism.

    Think about it people.
