British Airline Erases Israel From Maps Because It Offends Muslims

What apparently happened is that BMI has two kinds of maps. One kind is a map of the world as it actually is, which they use on flights bound for Israel. One is a map as their Muslim passengers presumably want it to be, after Israel has been wiped out in a genocidal conflict. That's the map BMI uses for all of their other Middle Eastern destinations:

A "logistic failure" caused the map to be presented on the flight to Tel Aviv, a company statement said, adding that it will be removed from the Tel-Aviv bound planes. The company was making every effort not to hurt passengers' feelings by adopting a nonpolitical position, the statement added.

Because imagining a fantasy world in which century-old dreams of an ethnically cleansed Middle East - that's the inoffensive, nonpolitical position.

I don't know. Britain is turning into a Muslim country so it's logical that British airliners would cave like this. It is still a shame, though. (We are not far behind, by the way.)

Britain is such a sycophant to Islam now, it's beyond disgusting. How long before they have a new national anthem that makes no mention of God or the the Queen? Why this toadying, Britain? Why?

I am offended they removed it. You think they will put it back?

When did people become so sensitive? The logical thing to do if you don't like looking at something is to STOP looking at it...geesh.

I think this is just another outrageous example of political correctness going miles too far. They should just use a current map and be done with it - OR:

They could use a map of what things will look like 1 year after the Second Coming of Christ. Yes, I like this choice.

That's not the point. The point is money, fear, and false religion used by humans to enslave other humans.

I know the point...it was an attempt at some humor mixed with frustration at how ridiculous things have become.

Israel would be much larger and include all of the lands God Promised. This map will become a reality probably sooner than any of us imagine, but the earth will pass through some very hard times first (i.e. The Tribulation Period).
