Most everyone here has been real patient, and answered your
questions about flying, but you are stepping across a line, with this.

You will have to understand that Citizens of the United States are very
suspicious of ANY middle-eastern person, asking about simulators,
or wanting to learn to fly large airliners.

Welcome to America, where you are found "guilty" without
benefit of a trial, solely based on the colour of your skin, and/or
the ethnicity of your name.

That is not the case. Our legal system suggests othewise. Personal
perception has always been subject to wide variations and I believe you will
find that in ANY country. It is unfair to make this unique to the US.

(Canada, the traced entry of AIDS into the US and also an easy entry point
to the US for terrorists. Makes me glad I'm not a Canadian. Are those fair
statements? Perhaps not, but they are accurate.)


Makes me glad I'm not an American.

And we are likewise pleased.


(Maybe there will be other Americans who will stand up against
this prejudiced behaviour... We'll see... I'm hoping...)

Yes, his comments were insulting and uncalled for. Unfortunately the ugly
Americans are so easily taken for representing the entire population. I try
my best to steer clear of US tourists when abroad. It is usually
embarrassing.


Ramapriya, I'm sorry that there are people like Jim in the world.

Why are you apologizing for someone else? Jim is free to post what he
wishes.
