Jews Not Welcome to Buy Delta Tickets to Saudi ArabiaUPDATE: Here is the paperwork for the pro-sharia trolls:

Once we accept these racist Sharia-compliant regulations, it is a slippery slope.
[....]
Saudi law bans Jews from entering Saudi Arabia, and Delta's partnership with Saudi Arabian Airlines requires it to accept that law. That means if you're Jewish or hold a passport from Israel and try to get on a flight to Jeddah out of New York or Washington, Delta employees will stop you.
Saudi Arabia is not the only country in the Middle East that forbids people with Israeli passports, as well as people who have simply visited Israel, from entering. Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and others don't let Jews in, either. So Delta is respecting the entry regulations of Saudi Arabia, not adopting consciously discriminatory policies against Jews.
Why was the world up in arms over apartheid in South Africa but never says anything about this? Why isn't there a global boycott of Saudi Arabia over its religious and gender apartheid? The world could afford to be self-righteous about South Africa, but needs Saudi oil -- and Obama is doing nothing to drill here or open up our own oil reserves.
He should. These Saudi rules are not worthy of respect, and no U.S. company should accommodate them. It is illegal in the United States to discriminate on the basis of religion, and that's the only law that Delta should respect.

Imagine the protests in the streets if Delta Airlines were to tell Muslims that they could not fly somewhere because the local customs would not permit them to enter that country? And just how quickly would Rev. Al Sharpton be able to gather thousands to march against Delta Airlines if they would not allow black people onto their planes because the country where they were flying would not permit people of color to enter?
Those situations are impossible to conceive because they could never happen, right?
But Delta Airlines is facing a similar moral dilemma as they get are about to complete an alliance with Saudi Arabia. The Delta-Saudi deal means adding Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAA) to Delta’s SkyTeam Alliance. For the first time, this would allow Delta passengers to fly direct into Saudi Arabia, as long as passengers are not Jewish, do not have a passport from Israel or a passport that is stamped from Israel.
This issue was addressed back in April when attorney Jeffrey Lovitky sent the following letter to Delta;
Two weeks later, Mr. Lovitky received a response from Delta, and not from CEO Richard Anderson. Lovitky‘s letter was referred to ’Customer Care.’
The answer was quite clear. Delta did not see Saudi Arabia’s discrimination against Jews to be their problem. And yet, Mr. Lovitky presisted with his questions until he received this letter;
As far as Delta was concerned this was a dead issue. Dead until it was brought to the attention of former Congressman, Fred Grandy. Mr. Grandy was visiting some old friends on Capitol Hill earlier this week when these letters were handed to him. Fred and his wife are regular guests on the Jeff Katz morning show on Talk 1200 in Boston, and this past Wednesday they discussed the potential problems that might stem from Delta’s business alliance with Saudi Arabian Airlines
Delta Sharia Airlines
While Delta Airlines obfuscates and dances around the truth (they have really perfected the art of taqiyya), their website tells the story. Go to the Delta Airlines website and look at the information listed there. Delta doesn’t just work with Saudi Airlines; they post their info on the Delta website.
Not only are Jews not welcome, but women are told to cover their arms and to wear heavy clothing, among other sharia compliant rules. Further, Muslim women are restricted from travel without a husband or immediate member of the family.
Oh, and no kissing. It's very easy to find this info: (hat tip Jim P)
Main_screen.jpg – this is the screen where you select your country of citizenship (and residence, if appropriate), and your destination.
General_info.jpg – this gives overall info about the Saudi restrictions, with links to get further detail.

Go to www.delta.comHere are the screen shots.
Put your cursor on Travel Information, and choose Travel Tools, Tips, and Fees from the drop-down menu.
On the right, under MORE INFO, choose Visa & Passport Information.
About 2/3 of the way down the screen, you will see where you can select your country of citizenship and destination country. You then click GO.
Just for the fun of it, I selected Israel for my country of citizenship and Saudi Arabia for my destination. The screen which appeared had the Delta logo and name at the top of the screen, and it said “The government of Saudi Arabia refuses admission and transit to nationals of Israel.”
Since there’s obviously no way that Delta can disassociate itself from this bigotry, it should do the right thing and disassociate itself from Saudi Airlines.

SAUDI ARABIA DENIES RUMORS REGARDING TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
WASHINGTON [June 24, 2011] -- The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia today issued the following statement regarding the false story being circulated on the Internet regarding implications of Saudi Arabian Airlines membership in the Delta Airlines SkyTeam Alliance:
"Rumors being circulated via the Internet regarding passenger flight restrictions on Saudi Arabian Airlines are completely false. The Government of Saudi Arabia does not deny visas to U.S. citizens based on their religion."
Liars.

June 27, 2011Jews Not Welcome to Buy Delta Tickets to Saudi Arabia
By Pamela GellerDelta Air Lines is adding Saudi Arabian Airlines to its SkyTeam Alliance. This will make it easier for Americans to fly to Saudi Arabia -- unless you're Jewish. Saudi law bans Jews from entering Saudi Arabia, and Delta's partnership with Saudi Arabian Airlines requires it to accept that law. That means if you're Jewish or hold a passport from Israel and try to get on a flight to Jeddah out of New York or Washington, Delta employees will stop you.

Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and others don't let Jews in, either. So Delta is respecting the entry regulations of Saudi Arabia, not adopting consciously discriminatory policies against Jews.
Why was the world up in arms over apartheid in South Africa but never says anything about this? Why isn't there a global boycott of Saudi Arabia over its religious and gender apartheid? The world could afford to be self-righteous about South Africa, but needs Saudi oil -- and Obama is doing nothing to drill here or open up our own oil reserves.
He should. These Saudi rules are not worthy of respect, and no U.S. company should accommodate them. It is illegal in the United States to discriminate on the basis of religion, and that's the only law that Delta should respect.
And so Colby M. May, director and senior counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, said that his group was going to take action: "As we learn more about the issue and facts, we are determined to ensure that American citizens do not face discrimination by airlines like Delta that are passenger code-sharing with Saudi Arabian Airlines. We will be communicating our position with members of Congress, the State Department and Delta Air Lines to ensure that the rights of American citizens are protected."
If Delta airlines can adopt the "no Jews" policy of a Muslim country like Saudi Arabia, would it not be fitting, and in the spirit of reciprocity and mutual respect, to adopt a "no Muslims" policy on certain airlines? Lord knows, travel would be so much easier and enjoyable again, and cheaper (with security costs dramatically cut). And we certainly would have no need for the TSA.
Once we accept these racist Sharia-compliant regulations, it is a slippery slope. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is doing just that, forcing American companies to give special break times to Muslim workers for prayers, and inconveniencing the non-Muslim workers who have to work longer hours to make up for the Muslims' special breaks.
A federal judge awarded 1.35 million dollars to Somali Muslims. The gripe? Not receiving adequate prayer time. Forget the fact that these some of same Muslim workers have been violent against their co-workers and the city itself. Forget their Ramadan violence. Forget the fact that some of these Muslims have vanished off the street, recruited to go to jihad and join the holy war in Somalia, with Americans living in fear of their return. Forget all that. What happened to no special classes for special people? This is America -- there should be no special rights for special classes.
The EEOC is the willing dhimmi for creeping Sharia in the workplace, at the behest of the Hamas-tied Muslim Brotherhood group the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Would they do this for complaints from Christians, Jews, and other non-believers in Islam? Christians and Jews go to churches and synagogues to pray, not to their workplaces. Yet now Hamas-tied CAIR, with the aid of tough Somali advocates, is turning workplaces into de facto mosques.
Mind you, it is not necessary for a Muslim to pray at a certain time. These actions are merely devices in which to impose Islam on non-believers. Prayer is not required on a strict schedule if a Muslim is unable to pray at the specified time; Muslim prayers are commonly "made up" after work or school. This is true even in Muslim countries, including Iran.
Muslim footbaths in airports and universities, Muslim cab drivers who refuse to take passengers with dogs or alcohol, prayer times in public schools, prayer times in the workplace, colleges forced to have separate swimming times for Islamic men and women so not to offend Muslims...this is how you lose your country. These "initiatives "are to impose their will upon us, not to enable them to honor ironclad religious responsibilities.
Delta should have refused to partner with the Saudis rather than accommodate their Jew-hatred. At a certain point we must draw the line and stand up for our values. Otherwise we will find that there is always more Sharia to accommodate -- with each new demand more hateful and anti-Semitic than the last.
