Title: Bigotry and discrimination by American Airlines
Post by Squire on Jul 22nd, 2016 at 1:11pm
The worst aspect of this case was that American Airlines purportedly investigated the complaint and found no wrongdoing. Its disgraceful for a flight attendant to announce twice on the aircraft PA system “Mohamed Ahmed, Seat 25-A: I will be watching you.”

Now, not only the flight attendant but the management and others who investigated the incident will have to be fired.

A Muslim man was removed from an American Airlines flight after a flight attendant publicly announced his name, seat number and said she would be “watching” him.

Mohamed Ahmed Radwan had boarded a plane in Charlotte, North Carolina and the flight attendant went to the tannoy and said: “Mohamed Ahmed, Seat 25-A: I will be watching you.”

The employee made no other announcements about any other passenger.

Mr Radwan asked the employee why she had made the announcements. She reportedly responded that he was being “too sensitive”.

The passenger then reported the incident to two other American Airlines employees.

He was told he must leave the plane as he had made the first air stewardess “uncomfortable”.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has filed a complaint about the incident, which happened in December last year, to the Department of Transportation after failing to resolve the matter directly with the airline.

CAIR’s staff lawyer, Maha Sayed, wrote in the complaint that Mr Radwan was “singled out” and “unjustifiably” removed from the plane due to racial discrimination.

“Given the continuing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric and hate crimes occurring throughout the United States, this type of reckless and harmful conduct should not be tolerated by our nation's airlines, which are legally charged with safely carrying all individuals who are rightfully present in an equal and nondiscriminatory manner, without regard to their religious affiliation or ethnicity,” the letter read.

“This incident is particularly troubling given the recent wave of incidents in which airline personnel have arbitrarily removed passengers of Muslim and/or Middle Eastern background without an objectively reasonable cause or explanation,” Ms Sayed added.

An American Airlines spokeswoman said in a statement: “American [Airlines] was contacted by CAIR earlier this year. We thoroughly reviewed these allegations and concluded that no discrimination occurred. We serve customers of all backgrounds and faiths and do not tolerate discrimination of any kind.”

In April, a Muslim woman was removed from a Southwest Airlines plane at a Chicago airport after she had asked to switch seats as she was told she had made the flight attendant “uncomfortable”.

A Muslim family of five were also escorted off a United Airlines flight in March for “how they looked”. They said they had asked staff if there were any safety harnesses for their three children. The pilot told them they had to leave as it was “a safety issue”.

Got to admit, seeing the tents walking around, single file after some bearded guy in a dress makes me uncomfortable as well.

Anything could be under the tent.

“unjustifiably” removed from the plane due to racial discrimination"

Incorrect ...

... but then they get it right :


“Given the continuing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric ...

Correct.

'Muslims' are not a race of people any more than Nazis or communists are a race of people.

How many Westerners are walking around with the name 'Jesus' as opposed to the number of Muslims walking around with the name 'Muhammad'?

Muslims are WAY more saturated in the head with religious brain-washing than Westerners are. It's why they can't be trusted.

lets not forget who the enemy is.
radical islam.

they need to be attacked and annihilated.

dont waste significant time on insignificant things.

dudes just catching a plane are insignificant.

but leftards who wont attack radical islam, for fear of "provoking the hornets nest' are just as cowardly.

the job of destroying radical islam is going to have to be done, so lets not waste our time on destroying non-radical islam.

there are skillful and unskillful actions in doing this.
airline hostesses who feel "uncomfortable" are just unskillful.  they should move to israel, enrol in the israeli military, learn  the skillful actions required of a mossad spy, head into syria and destroy islamists. then they wont need to feel uncomfortable. then they can feel strong powerful and influential.

radical islam is a weed.
how far will the weed grow if we dont take action?
right up between our toes.
how far can we beat it back?
past the horizon if we want to.

But what is the point of spraying weedkiller on everything in sight . thats just unfocused and stupid. save the weedkiller for the weeds

The walking tents creep me out as well. I always keep an eye on them and don't care if that makes them uncomfortable in return.

I flew American Airlines last week and it couldn't have been any better unless they increased the leg room for passengers. Any business should be able to use their own judgement without persecution.
CAIR should organize a boycott against all American Air Carriers and and find another way to move around the country!

When they talk to their family and friends back home and they ask them how life is in the west, they've been saying "It's wonderful.  Everybody is so friendly, and we get money for nothing.  You should come too.".  But what we want them to be saying is "It's awful.  I want to come home".

Isn't obsessing about tents of any description a bit camp? ;)

"The only way to stop hate it to confront it"... Unless it's hate from Muslims, because if you confront that you get labeled as islamophobic.

I'm always expecting a digital-voice to come out from behind these mobile black tents saying "EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!
