Airplane Imam Teaching Jihad in Prisons?

Remember those imams who were removed from a US Airways flight? And the PC crowd cried discrimination?

Pop quiz cowboy. True or false:

"c) Jihad is a crucial aspect and responsibility of the Islamic State."

Just one question from a test that Ahmad Tafish Shqeirat, one of the imams, gives to his prison students. The very fact that he speaks of an "Islamic State" should be enough to disqualify him from working in our prisons. The last thing we need are more jihadis with a predisposition to crime.

Dan Riehl has more.

UPDATE: Via Michelle Malkin this from the bosses at Pajama Media:

Another passenger, not the note writer, was an Arabic speaker sitting near two of the imams in the plane’s tail. That passenger pulled a flight attendant aside, and in a whisper, translated what the men were saying. They were invoking “bin Laden” and condemning America for “killing Saddam,” according to police reports. ...

Tucked away in the police report is this little gem: one of the imams had complained to a passenger that some nations did not follow shariah law and his job in Bakersfield, Calif. was a cover for “representing Muslims here in the U.S.”
