A rabbi joined a Washington pray-in to protest alleged anti-Muslim discrimination. Rabbi Arthur Waskow, head of Philadelphia’s Shalom Center, joined the protest Monday near the US Airways terminal at Reagan National Airport. Waskow, imams and ministers were protesting an incident last week in which six Muslim clerics were banned from a US Airways flight because they made another passenger nervous by praying in the waiting area.
