Iranians 'Sit In' on an Airplane

Normally Iranians taking control of of an airliner is a frightening thought, but not in this case.

Looks like 50 Iranians are refusing to to de-board a plane in Brussels, as a protest against the EU's continuing political/economic support of the theocratic regime in Tehran.

For simplicity's sake, here's a synopsis from NRO's The Corner:

"Today 50 Iranians, inspired by the comments of Iranian scholar and righteous activist, Frood Fouladvand (who runs a TV station out of his home in London) gathered in London, boarding a plane to Brussels. In Brussels they refused to get off the plane that is still sitting on the tarmak of the Brussels airport and they are conducting a very quiet and peaceful protest against the heads of the E.U. who refuse to stop doing business with the bloodthirsty regime of the Islamic Republic and the Mullahs in Iran. The protestors have been verbally abused by the Belgian authorities, being accused of hijacking and though the protestors are doing nothing but singing Iranian national anthems of a free Iran and asking to speak to the UK, French and German representatives to the E.U. they are being nonetheless abused by Belgian authorities who are refusing to allow the media on plane.

They are chanting: "We are the messengers of peace. We are against global terrorism. We will remove the malignant terrorist regime of the Mullahs..."

The world media should respect these forms of peaceful and righteous protests and should expose the refusal of governments like those European nations who have actively ignored the pleas and cries of the desperate people of Iran in favor of cheap trade with a terrorist-financing government."

Let's see how much coverage this gets in the mainstream media...

(Looks like ABC Online did pick up a wire report here)
