Two Muslim religious leaders were kicked off an airplane last week in Memphis - simply because they were Muslim. The two imams - both in traditional Muslim dress - went through multiple security screenings - and boarded the Delta Airlines Commuter flight. But shortly after taxing toward the runway - the plane returned to the gate and TSA came aboard and removed the men, citing concerns from the other passengers. The imams went through an additional security screening - once again proving that they were not a threat - but the pilot still refused to let them on the plane again and it took off without them. Delta is now conducting an internal investigation into the matter - they so far have yet to offer an official explanation as to why the men were kicked off their flight. Thom Hartmann argues with Bill Keller - founder of LivePrayer.com

Thom Hartmann's daily take.

Two top Republicans that are likely to jump in the race for President. Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman - happen to both be Mormons. The leading priest - literally - of the hard right-wing is Glenn Beck - another Mormon. And one of the leading tenants of Mormonism has historically been polygamy. So what's the real story behind this phenomenon in America - that could find a place in the White House in the not-too-distant future? Thom Hartmann talks to filmmaker Sanjiv Bhattacharya.
