No big surprise here, but this should go down as one of the top ten quotes of the year.  Hell, I would have never guessed this in a million years!

From Yahoo News:

ANKARA, Turkey - Two men who hijacked a Turkish passenger plane in an apparent protest against the U.S. surrendered to authorities Saturday after holding some crew members and passengers hostage for more than four hours. No one was hurt.

The men claimed to be carrying a bomb and demanded that the Atlasjet Airlines plane headed from northern Cyprus to Istanbul be diverted to Iran. The plane, which had taken off from northern Cyprus headed for Istanbul, landed at Antalya airport after pilots said they needed to refuel.

Passengers speaking to NTV and CNN-Turk said the hijackers spoke Arabic to each other and promised not to harm the passengers. “We are Muslims,” the passengers quoted one of the hijackers as saying.

“The adventure that started early in the morning finally came to an end,” said Tuncay Doganer, the CEO of Atlasjet. “With the two hijackers having surrendered, the incident ended with no bloodshed.” 

“We are muslims” ….Well, they’res  a shock. Was this an excuse, apology, or explanation?   “We are muslims.” Was there ever a question about that?  Quick, hide the small boys, the sheep, and goats!!!

Considering that they hijacked a plane in Turkey to protest the United States, then lost all their hostages, and then allowed themselves to be captured alive in a country noted for…how shall we say…sub-nominal prisons where human and civil rights are considered non existent, are you sure they weren’t misquoted, and actually said “We are morons”?Personally, I’m waiting for the Islamic Terrorist Support group and Unidicted Co-conspirator CAIR to chime in and say it was the Joos or perhaps the Amish!
