Air ban on woman in blasphemy row
By Auslan Cramb, Scottish Correspondent

A devout Christian was banned from flying with the budget airline Easyjet after she asked staff to "stop blaspheming".

Fiz Thomson, 55, was returning from a trip to Israel where she had been helping war victims, when she heard boarding staff at Stansted airport repeatedly exclaiming "Oh, my God" after a child fell and hurt herself.

She said she politely asked them to stop taking God's name in vain. She was then approached by a security official and she claims she was called a "racist" for remarking that her complaint would have been taken more seriously had she been Islamic.

advertisementAs a result of the altercation on Tuesday, her boarding card was withheld, her luggage was taken off the Edinburgh-bound flight and she was barred from flying with the airline for 24 hours.

The grandmother, from Burntisland, Fife, who worships at the independent Vine Church in Dunfermline, said: "There was absolutely nothing at all that I said to the airport staff which could have been interpreted as racist. "I was very polite and non aggressive, but one of the ladies angrily asked me if I expected everyone to follow my religion and do as I did.

"A member of the security staff then appeared and started arguing with me."

Mrs Thomson, a registered foster carer with Fife Council, added: "All the other flights to Edinburgh that evening were with Easyjet. I ended up having to hire a car and drive to my daughter's home in Bolton. "I stayed the night there before driving home the following day. It cost me more than £200, including petrol."

According to Easyjet, Mrs Thomson was "ranting at female gate staff of Indian origin" who had had no intention to be blasphemous.

A spokesman said her remarks appeared to be racist and a view was taken that she needed to calm down and would not be allowed to fly.

For every person that progressed from being a monkey, most remained somewhere inbetween.

Everyone wants to be happy, but religion is just a fantasy. Some dream of Knights in Silver armour, others dream of being them.

Those that worship a deity that is not themself, are no less mad than the serial killer who believes he is napoleon or the lunatic that slits his wrists.

Those religions looneys crack me up - Christ died for her sins and I bet he was not whining on the cross how execution prevented him from visiting nice blondy in neighbouring village.

If you believe in this crap, then suffer the consequences quietly like supposedly Christ did - don't whine when others tell you where to go.

And oh - by the way - airplanes are blasphemy too: they fly faster than angels and that can't be right, eh Chico?


**** *** Chico!

Two very different sides to the story given here. Was she called racist for a perfectly reasonable remark or was she ranting at Asian women? Why assume the one that appears to support your point, whatever it is, is the right one? If you have inside knowledge please share it. Otherwise you are displaying your usual total lack of rational thinking.
