This is an absolutely sickening case of pandering to Islamism, but I shouldn’t be surprised, considering how deeply the British Empire loathes the Jewish people.  Time to divest from BMI.  Tell them how you feel.  Via INN:

The British airline, BMI, has removed Israel from the electronic maps displayed to passengers in some of its planes, Army Radio reports. The report claimed that the reason was to avoid offending Muslim passengers. However, the maps showed passengers the direction of Mecca.

Israel does not appear in maps on BMI flights between London and Tel Aviv, and Khefa, the pre-independence Arabic name for Haifa, appears on the maps.

In addition, the electronic maps display the distance between the plane and Mecca. The airline claims that the map has not been changed due to a “logistical problem.” Instead, it has presently been removed from the two planes that transport passengers to Tel Aviv.

   Pandering and political correctness are simply out of control. BHO had better hope that there occur no further attacks on the US homeland during his tenure. He wouldn’t be able to blame it on Bush.

   Obama worship is made worse by the media! Their embarrassing performance at the last press conference offered no interesting or intelligent questions and not a single attempt at a follow up.

   Conservatives must intervene with their friends regarding Obama worship. Here is a cute 12-step recovery program for Obama supporters:
