    Muslim Terrorist Pilot Sues Homeland Department

    HARRISBURG (Pennsylvania), Aug 20: A commercial pilot and convert to Islam, who says his name is on the US government’s secret terrorist watch list, has fought back, filing a federal lawsuit against the Homeland Security Department and various other federal agencies.

    Erich Scherfen says that unless his name is removed from the list, he faces losing not only his job but the ability to make a living in his chosen profession.

    “My livelihood depends on being off this list,” Scherfen told reporters on Tuesday. He says that the government’s actions have violated his and his wife’s rights. Both he and his Pakistan-born Muslim wife said they had no criminal records or ties to terrorists.—AP

    It seems like now a days every Muslims living in America is on the TERROR list. A multi-cultural society they say, where people live together and tolerate each other eh?

    Is he on the list or is it someone with the same name?

    There are numerous cases of people being stopped due to having the same name as an actual listee.

    Probably works for United. They have to cut alot of staff and the pilots union is filled with jerkwads there. He's muslim? Good enough reason. The airline lost two of their planes to muslim extremists on 9/11.

    Yes, and the muzzies screamed, "allah akbar" and some other gibberish. I am however, curious as to the how....how does a name get on a list. There must be a database of muzzies.

    to begin, i for one am not surprised by your first comment. you have proven repeatedly that you don't know the first thing about america, its constitution, bill of rights, and laws...so why should anyone here expect you to know that firing an american citizen because of their religion is a violation of their consitutional rights... and also federal law.

    psst...hey jet.....this is where you attempt to cover with ....."oh, it was joke".....ha ha ha

    secondly, there were three planes that were 'lost' on 9/11.

    Simple enough equation!
    Pilot+Islam-convert= terrorist.

    Terrorist= permanent holiday at camp Guantanamo

    I know it's quite an ask to have folks do a little homework before posting but a little more info here.

    Pa pilot says he's on watch list, sues to save job - Examiner.com

    He's not an employee of United. Worked for Colgan Air Inc.

    "A New Jersey native, Scherfen, 37, said he believes his name was placed on a watch list because he converted to Islam in 1994 - even though he is a Gulf War combat veteran. Both he and his Pakistan-born wife, who is also a Muslim, said they have no criminal records or ties to terrorists."

    Even worse we have a war veteran turn coat here!

    Joe McCarthy would be pleased.

    I'm not.

    Turn coat = sedition = shoot him. (It's a bennie for United; no union-tied family death benefits necessary if he worked for that other place.)

    as predicted, this is where jet tries to play off her bigoted comments as 'just a joke'.

    So all Muslims should be on the terrorist list?

    Estimated to be around 5m Muslims in US. Better get em all on the list with names and addresses made public so the shooting can begin ASAP.

    You aren't put on any terror watch list for being a Muslim or having a Muslim name. End of story.
    If you're on any such list, I'm sure there's good reason. Are we getting the whole story here?
    If it's another guy with the same name, this pilot is just feeling combative.
    If he's really a pilot and flies often, I'm sure it can/will be cleared up easily and quickly -- provided it's not him and he's done nothing to warrant being on such list.

    This is all just a bunch of sensationalist nonsense.

    Don't believe everything you read.
