Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

The dreaded Diet Coke of Islamophobia

Jun 1, 2015 9:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Tahera Ahmad3Tahera Ahmad2There is just so much that doesn’t ring true about this latest round of “Flying While Muslim” grievance theater.

In the first place, what is this about requesting an unopened can for “hygienic reasons”? The mainstream media, of course, never asks Tahera Ahmad what she means by that. What’s unhygienic about getting a can of soda that has just been opened? Could it be that Ahmad found it objectionable to receive a can of soda opened by najis (unclean, cf. Qur’an 9:28) infidel hands?

And then there’s the passenger sitting across the aisle from her and telling her, “You Moslem, you need to shut the F** up.” Where are the passengers corroborating the words of this shouting lout? Someone must have heard him, but he sounds to me as if he was sent over from Islamophobia Central Casting, straight from the fever dreams of Hamas-linked CAIR and the like.

Finally, there is the most unbelievable aspect of her whole story — a part of it that is never mentioned by the mainstream media: “The pilot also apologized for everything that happened and said that as a white male he recognized his privilege…” Come on. Who talks like that, outside of Salon.com’s offices?

Anyway, given today’s political climate, Tahera Ahmad will probably get millions out of United, and no flight attendant will ever dare open a Muslim’s can again.

“Muslim Woman Says She Faced Discrimination on Flight, United Airlines Calls It ‘Misunderstanding,'” by Emily Shapiro, ABC News, June 1, 2015:

After a Muslim woman accused the crew of a United Airlines flight of discrimination, the company has apologized for what it called a “misunderstanding.”

The passenger said a United attendant on the flight from Chicago to Washington on Friday refused to give her an unopened can of coke, allegedly telling her it could be used “as a weapon.”

“The flight attendant brought over an open can of diet soda, so I requested, for hygienic reasons, a closed can of diet soda,” Tahera Ahmad, a chaplain at Northwestern University, told ABC’s Chicago station WLS on Sunday. “And so she said, ‘Well, no one has consumed from this can.’ And I said, ‘That’s fine but I would really prefer for hygienic reasons and health concerns.’ … She said, ‘Well, it is against our policy to give people unopened canned beverages.'”

“And then she said, ‘No diet coke for you,’ and she picked up the beverage from my tray table and took it back,” she said.

Ahmad said the same flight attendant then served an unopened can of beer to another passenger.

When she confronted the attendant, “She said it is against our policy to give people unopened can beverages because they may use it as a weapon.”

“So I said, ‘Well I think that’s strange because you’re discriminating against me because clearly you gave the passenger next to me an unopened beverage can.’ And so she looked at that, picked it up, opened it and put it back. And as she was putting it back she said, ‘It’s because you would use it as a weapon.'”

“At that point I was in utter shock,” she told WLS. “I was almost tearing up.”

Ahmad said she then asked the other passengers, “Did you all just witness this discrimination?” and she claims another passenger muttered “you Muslim” and told her to shut up.

“And he said, ‘You know you would use it as a weapon,'” Ahmad recounted.

“I just couldn’t believe what he had said,” Ahmad said. “I was in tears.”

The attendant apologized after the flight, Ahmad said, but she told the attendant that her actions made her feel “very threatened.”

“I was the one who felt very unsafe,” Ahmad said.

United Airlines said today in a statement to ABC News: “United is a company that strongly supports diversity and inclusion, and we and our partners do not discriminate against our employees or customers. The flight attendant onboard Shuttle America flight 3504 attempted several times to accommodate Ms. Ahmad’s beverage request after a misunderstanding regarding a can of diet soda.”…

      She was entirely subjective about the ‘threat’. But Spencer is right about the ‘najis’ part. She was talking about supremacism in code.

      Koran 9:28 says that those practicing Shirk (al-Mushrikun=wrong worshippers) are “filthy” (najasun).

      Ayatollah al-Sistani, a respected scholar and cleric of Shia Islam on his official website (http://www.sistani.org/index.php?p=251364&id=48), listed things that are najis:

      1. Urine 2. Faeces 3.Semen 4.Dead body 5.Blood 6.Dog 7.Pig 8. KAFIRS [disbelievers] 9. Alcoholic liquors 10. The sweat of an animal who persistently eats najasat [unclean things].

      Since kafirs are so impure, they may easily be slaughtered without remorse.

      The flight attendant should have opened and poured the can of soda right in front of her. Then, if she doesn’t like being served by “najis” (if that is indeed the case), then she herself should be accused of discrimination, and not allowed on any more flights with whatever airline company.

      I agree that the narrative given is very suspicious.

      • mortimer says

        Jun 1, 2015 at 11:52 pm

        Disagree. The issue was the flight attendant following company procedure, rather than to make up her own interpretation. A can explodes easier if its shaken and in a reduced pressure, such as the airplane cabin at high altitude. That’s physics, not opinion or religion.

        The answer is: ‘Sorry, I regret that company policy forbids me to do that. I must open all cans for passengers.’

        This is foolish to the point of being a non-issue. The flight attendant should have asked a colleague to witness the exchange.

    I agree that what this woman says is not credible. The statements she says the others made can’t be true. She is likely lying about the whole thing. However, that doesn’t matter. It’s all a part of showing the kaffir who’s the boss, and she was successful. We will fall for it every time, because we are too nice and accommodating – they use that against us, quite effectively. You’ll have your opportunity, in a similar situation. Will you recognize it? What will you do?

    • RonaldB says

      Jun 1, 2015 at 11:57 pm

      “showing the kaffir who’s the boss”

      Yes. This has several strands to it.

      Part of it is to further the idea that Muslims are absolutely not to be questioned or frustrated in their demands. This has major security implications for any modes of transportation. Potential hijackers or terrorists often give out lots of involuntary clues that they are under stress or focused on a mission. These can very often be picked up by trained (or untrained) security personnel, who have the responsibility of checking such people in detail. If Muslims like Tahera Ahmad are successful, no Muslim will be questioned or investigated on the spot for suspicious behavior. This was also the obvious purpose of the “flying imams”..to establish that any Muslim behavior, however bizarre, must not be questioned.

      The second part of her objective is to establish that civil and private leaders, other than Islamic authorities, are powerless and carry no authority in society. This is part of the strategy of “dawah” or pre-violence jihad, designed to dissolve the non-Muslim culture of a country to pave the way for Muslim inundation. This strategy is currently so successful, it’s embarrassing. Is there any way to impeach a judge for sheer incompetence? Even without manifesting personal corruption or lying, surely judges who consistently make up laws on their own or ignore obvious and common-sense arguments can be impeached, akin to being fired after a thorough review of their job performance.

    • mortimer says

      Jun 1, 2015 at 11:57 pm

      Agree. This supremacist simply wanted to humiliate the kafirs. She’s an example of the Islamic Stockholm syndrome…a woman who kisses the whip that flogs her. She was overflowing with hatred for kafirs.

      Her impolite, delusional rage highlights what’s wrong with Islam…it’s a mental disorder.

    It’s all a crock, a cracked crock. They just have to keep them coming. Wasn’t there another *case* of a muslim covered up person decided by the Court today? Something about Abercrombie and Fitch losing to the muslim in the scarf dispute? cair lawyers most likely had an idea the verdict was coming and it was time for another lawsuit for discrimination, so something had to be fabricated.

    What white man is going to say he is aware of his *privilege* and that he has no idea how being a minority person feels?
    The airlines have never given me a full soda can…they put it in a cup and it’s shared with others, being poured into several cups.

    The story as I first heard it seemed credible. Her open pop which she opposes, and guy next to her gets unopened beer, she would prefer similar treatment. I have been refused bottle caps on water/ soft drinks at many venues, even an opera house, to prevent weaponizing the bottles of liquid. I figured the stewardess just neglected to open the beer due to the ongoing discussion.
    The more detailed the story gets, the less credibility it retains.

    • Paul says

      Jun 2, 2015 at 8:42 am

      My guess is that the flight attended was distracted by the Muslima’s complaint, and simply forgot to open the guy’s beer.

    Poor little innocent, peaceful Muslima, a superior human being nonetheless, subjected to such harsh treatment. How dare she be forced to drink from a can that was pre-opened? Perhaps if the Islamophobic flight attendant were burnt alive or beheaded, this Diet Coke Discrimination would cease.

    Jun 2, 2015 at 12:48 am

    Jihad goes better with Coke. Remember the 5-star Islamic State hotel in Mosul where they don’t serve alcohol but they do serve Coke? Now the IT chief for Bangladesh Coca Cola has been arrested for working for the Islamic State as a regional coordinator. Of course, Coca Cola’s CEO nowadays
    is Turkish Muslim Muhtar Kent, which might help explain the hijab in the Super Bowl commercial.
    The jihadis will have to amend their famous refrain to: “The Americans love Pepsi Cola, we love death (and Coca Cola)”

    “no diet coke for you!” was the Seinfeld soup-nazi the flight attendant?
    “It’s because you would use it as a weapon”–and she is.

    I have been saying that CAIR and Islam is thinking years in the future. They are making plans and doing things that if left unchecked, will eventually result in Islam taking over the US without any sort of Islamic military invading………..(thus saving muslim lives!)
    The things CAIR are doing and planning are many, too many for this post but to give a short list …bringing suits to court and winning, making the textbooks our children use very biased in favor of Islam and teaching the taqqiyah lies about Islam being peaceful etc, infiltrating every level of federal, state and local goverments , getting muslims into every position of authority they can police, FBI, CIA Homeland Security,and Military.
    Teaching our colledge age children to believe that muslims are an oppressed minority, descriminated against at every turn. And some imans are telling their followers to quit their jobs or dont look for jobs, instead get as uch Goverment assistance as possible somas to leave more time to plan jihad and because the welfare is a form of jizya and is owed to the muslims, and paying all this money to all the muslims will eventually break the host country, makingbit all the easier for Islam to take over. These are the sorts of things are going on in the US and are part of the long term plan of making America Islamic.
    Muslims are demanding special, preferential treatment, demanding special privileges that are not given to other religions. Muslims are demanding ,that instead of adapting to the ways of the country they are in, they demand that the Country make changes to accommodate the Muslims, both recent immigrants, as well as US born Muslims.
    We are being trained to accept any and everything a muslims wants in the name of his religion.and threatened with lawsuites that ruin our lives or acts of violence if we do not comply.

    Our laws are based on presedent so when a muslim sues and wins, there is a presedent for the next time. ” CAIR lawyer say, Your honor, there is a presedent for finding in favor of my client in the 2015 decision in Muslim verses Kaffir” And we give in on so many small things, thinking ” Ok the muslims want this its such a small thing, doesnt hurt anything , and it makes the poor opressed minority happy, so why not give in on this tiny thing?” Because it is a small thing, it is easy to give in, and the next thing is easy too , and the next. This is conditioning us, training us to accept and grantvthe muslims requests. Eventually the requests arent so small and the muslims dont ask, they demand and threaten the usual acts of violence if their demands arent met. And they cite all the previous times we gave in to their requests, making us look and possinly feel discriminatory towards them.
    I really think that in addition to providing free legal aid that CAIR is giving money to the muslims bringing the suits. I bet the message has gone kut to the US mulim umma that if you even think you could have a case against a kaffir person or company then call CAIR and we can probide an attorney free and if it turns out there is a case then we can probide money for travel, expenses and even just give money because you are bringing us a case.

    That poor, persecuted Muslima! The airline wouldn’t even let her wear a suicide vest, which she needed for safety.

  21. Jack Diamond says

    Jun 2, 2015 at 1:53 am

    Yes, she’s not just “a Muslim woman”–for those who don’t click the link-she is much more:
    “In late December, Ahmad attended the MAS-ICNA (Muslim American Society- Islamic Circle of North America) conference, which featured prominent leaders within the global Muslim Brotherhood network.

    “One month earlier, Ahmad posted a picture to Facebook of her standing next to Suhaib Webb, who is the Imam of the Islamic Society of Boston, an outfit run under the same umbrella organization as the mosque attended by Boston Marathon bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, and a plethora of other convicted terrorists. Webb has a demonstrated history of radical connections, including him being a close confidant of Al Qaeda mastermind Anwar al Awlaki prior to the 9/11 attacks.

    “Ahmad is “well-known” to Yasir Qadhi, a cleric who she has frequently invited to speak to the student body at Northwestern. An audio tape of one of Qadhi’s sermons revealed that he once called for Muslims to wage holy war against non-Muslims. During his speech, Qadhi went on to discuss how he did not believe that the Holocaust had ever occurred.

    “In 2013, she recited the Quran at the annual ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) convention. Declassified FBI documents found that the Bureau regarded ISNA as a Muslim Brotherhood front group.

    Not least, “she is a frequent Ramadan dinner attendee at the White House, according to the report.”

    Strangely, CAIR is threatening to file a lawsuit on her behalf! While “Ahmad’s claims of discrimination have not been corroborated by any passengers, and United Airlines rejects that any wrongdoing or acts of discrimination occurred.”

    Yes, the flying imams ride again.

      She’s playing the race card which pushes the hot buttons in our PC MC-dominated culture. Remember what MS-NBC airhead talking head newcaster Contessa Brewer said during the “Flying Imams” incident back in 2006 — that in way, their “plight” was comparable to the valiant stand that Rosa Parks took on the bus at the beginning of the Civil Rights era.

      The race angle to the problem of Islam is deeply entrenched — thanks to our own culture of decades of White Guilt and shame at our Western heritage.

    I could go on a long winded, detailed post explaining to the most minute detail the parts of the story I find suspect. But I don’t think it’s necessary. Suffice to say that several parts of the story just don’t add up. I don’t doubt she was denied an unopened can of coke. I do doubt everything else. It all comes up to her word against the airline’s word, and we all know the effect that “racism” and “discrimination” have on major companies.

    Connections to the white house? Got it! That’s all I needed to know. This White House has played more stunts like this than I can remember-think back!

    This story drove me crazy because it has FAKE written all over it!

    Is it not really strange that the Diet Pepsi Whore story broke just before the Supreme Court case on the “humble” headscarf wearing model?

    I’d bet my life (we are all betting our lives away right now, by the way) the WHOLE THING WAS STAGED! The passenger that yelled out was an actor-NO DOUBT- when have you ever heard somebody act like that on a plane? Persecuted Americans would be SCARED TO DEATH TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!!

    We only have THEIR WORD that another man was given an unopened can of beer.

    Just look at her quotes, especially when she says the man had RAGING EYES.
    She had tears of humiliation and discrimination? DOES THIS NOT SOUND LIKE A SCRIPT? I can’t be the only one with a brain in this country-COME ON AMERICA!

    Now look at the woman’s face, which by the way was plastered everywhere instantly! Boy I hope the next time I’m rushing onto a plane, after getting my family packed and the dog to the sitter, and dashing back for my license I forgot—I look that perfectly made up. I would love to ask her how she got so good at the eyeliner, both top and bottom lids (that takes PRACTICE TRUST ME).

    It wasn’t that long ago in this country that wearing that kind of make-up made you look like a whore.– o.k. those days are gone– but the fact remains that this woman was “dressed for success” and her “job” was to create this public image of the poor, HUMBLE (when have you ever seen a humble Muslim?) Muslim, who could not even get a “DIET” coke in the United States that was not full of koodies. ( Of course, we are the enemy and we have koodies!). Does anybody remember this:

    “We were not at war with them but they were at war with us?”

    Are they not at war with us every second of every day in our own country?
    WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS IF THIS IS NOT PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE?
    When you continuously attack the culture, the people, the systems, hey… you are at war with them. They are at war with our culture because they want to dominate us in every way.

    They have been at this war for so long that we are losing very badly. There may be only one more chance to wake up but this nice young lady may help to wake a sleeping giant.

    It will be interesting to watch American women start to get their feathers riled up by these Muslim, headscarf-wearing hypocrites

    I thought the headscarf was to symbolize modesty? The women that they are trotting out into the public,for their political purposes, are anything but modest.

    WHAT’S BEHIND THE VEIL?

    These women do not typify the real Islam because they engage in so many things that Islam would prohibit. I agree with Spencer who sees this as just trying to pierce through the American culture.

    But the backlash from American women, who have been largely mollified, could be exciting to watch. We don’t sit down and get trampled on like American men. Yes, the American giant has been neutered! (Just look at all the men? who attacked Pam Geller when they should have instinctively defended her).

    We can complain till the cows come home but at the end of the day she will get something out of this.
    I hate to see Muslims being able to exploit our laws. Why don’t we change these laws so that scum like this cannot gain anything?
    The flight attendant should have just simply said that it’s against policy to give an unopened can of fizzy drink and leave it at that. If asked why, just say that you don’t know but it’s policy and then ask, do you want the drink or not?
    If the answer is no unless it’s opened then walk away.
    This witch is lying, I am sure, because I can’t see anyone saying that “you can turn it into a weapon”. At the very least she might have said that it could be turned into a weapon.

      It could be that American Muslims are now just like many Black Americans who see discrimination everywhere. I doubt that this story is accurate, especially the part where the pilot apologizes for White privilege, which only exists in the minds of left wingers who hate Whites.

      • rev g says

        Jun 2, 2015 at 4:04 pm

        The pilot likely tried to smooth things over, and she lectured him about his whiteness and white privilege. So when says “Look, I’m sorry”, she extrapolates it for effect.

    Creeping Sharia at it’s finest.
    Poor me, Poor Me.
    Give me respect, even tho I haven’t earned it.
    Your food hurts my feelings.
    Your drinks hurts my feelings.
    The way your religion doesn’t respect mine to be superior to yours hurts my feelings.
    Everywhere Islam goes it brings intolerance, conflict and social division. Phony social grievance mongering and relentless special pleading.
    Everywhere Islam gains the upper hand people become persecuted and less free. Especially women.
    Islam brings out the worst in humanity and it brings power to violent and sadistic savages.
    Islam brings nothing to the west that is positive. Its all negative with Islam and we would all be better off w/o it, especially the women.

    CONTRAST can be a good thing sometimes and this woman showed Americans the contrast between us and them.
    Oh, the media will not tell you that they are any different from you but this woman showed you how superior they are to you, “dirty Americans.”
    If this woman were a germaphobe, would she be all over the airlines, flying here and there, and speaking all over, as the earlier poster has said? I could sympathize with a germophobe, but they would not be on the plane casually enjoying a DIET coke and all the attention she was getting.
    So this is an aspect of her religion, that you cannot consume what a non-Muslim gives you or however it is said in the Ko……..raan (which should be said Koran in America people.) She is telling you that there is a very real difference between an American and a Muslim import or their anchor babies.
    Let’s show them what it means to be an American woman:

    We don’t take crap from people, because we’re raised as free women.

    We don’t wear nonsense because we work, we farm, we hike, we roller-skate, we drive, we swim and we show off our American bodies sometimes.

    We don’t let our men rule us—we rule!!! We rule because we’re good and we’re smart!!!

    We carry guns, but not bombs under our cloaks!!!

    We follow the laws of the nation we live in and don’t ask for special privileges or try to impose another country’s laws on our fellow countrymen.
    We work day and night FOR OUR SOCIETY, not AGAINST THE SOCIETY WE LIVE IN.

    We don’t always wear make-up because we are MATURE and we are CONFIDENT IN OUR INNER BEAUTY. We are not spoiled children protected by our men.
    We don’t like our men raping other women or children–no, we really don’t like that!!!
    We know that we are blessed by God and have a GREAT COUNTRY even with its faults.

    We did not get filthy rich from oil flowing up from the ground.

    We WORKED THE SOIL TO GET OUR WEALTH, JUST LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS.
    Farmers and entrepreneurs built this country (dumbass Obama). The spoiled brats, who believe we have to cave in to foreigners for political correctness are destroying it.

    Yes we are AMERICAN WOMEN AND WE WILL PITT OURSELVES AGAINST YOUR CULTURE ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. BRING IT ON.

    THE EYELINER WARS HAVE BEGUN! It is a culture war that says that Americans are blessed by God and Americans are good people because they know they have been blessed and they are not arrogant and they are truly humble and hard working people, not sitting around waiting to sue somebody.

I am ignorant of airline policies in this situation, but I know they make accommodations for certain meals. My mom used to say “Not all actresses work in Hollywood”!

    Muslim are waging a cultural, psychological warfare, using social media to the max.

    Fight back! Post, tweet, facebook, utube, instagram every chance you get that Americans are fighting for their culture; ultimately for their freedom and their lives.

    We owe it to our children to fight back, unless you want your grandchildren a sex slave to a Muslim.

    Stand back and watch the American women take this fight on: Let the Eyeliner wars begin to save our children and grand children.

    Muslims are suing everything and everyone as soon as they set foot on western soil. This is their way of fighting infidels, by way of lawfare, to undermine us from within. In Canada, a muslim was suing the local bus company because the driver displayed a “merry christmas” lighted sign on the bus. Well, that is very offensive to muslims, as we know. No one at the so called “human rights” commission bothered to ask him if he finds it so offensive, why he came to Canada, which is a Judeo-Christian country. By suing everyone, the scums achieve a double purpose: advancing sharia and making money from the legal settlement, all courtesy of our political stupidity and submission.

      I guess when Osama bin Laden (nothing to do with islam) wanted to establish an islamic caliphate( nothing to do with islam) and wanted to destroy our economy ( nothing to do with islam) by taking down the Twin towers ( nothing to do with islamic jihad) and called upon the uma (worldwide muslim) (nothing to do with islam) he told the U.S. government and media (nothing to do with islam) and they bought it. Now Isis (nothing to do with islam) has a boatload of lawyers(nothing to do with islam) and now are hiring ad agencies in manhattan and minnesota to help their image….nothing to do with islam. America better start defending our companies being used by and damaged by lawfare terrorists (nothing to do with islam. Before we all start to hear the beautiful call the Obama loves (nothing to do with islam).

    • Peggy says

      Jun 2, 2015 at 8:52 pm

      I can’t understand why any judge would let her have a win in court. It’s not illegal to display that sign and it’s not meant to be offensive to anyone so how on earth can a Muslim win this one?
      If I see something on a bus or a building that suggests something about Islam can I sue and win too because Islam offends me?
      Unless there is something offensive written about Muslims then and only then can they whinge. If it’s legal and in good faith I can’t see how it has to be removewd.

    Would it be possible to throw a passenger off a plane without endangering the rest of the passengers? I mean, by opening a door, might it change the pressure in the plane or suck out others? There must be a way to get rid of insurgents in the air. Perhaps create a “safety chamber” into which the passenger is pushed before opening the door to the outside.

    The muslim brotherhood is a very cunning and selfish community ….tht suffers from superiority complex towards its egoistic god who commands them to kill the non-fanatics ….Acc to Quran…Every Life on this planet is a Muslim ..wonder they kill animals for they are not able to pray and read the namaz….
    They are experts in exploiting the laws ..manipulating them for their own good and use it very cleverly to gain power thn convert other into their religion and finally murder them if they refuse to follow their egoistic non-sensical shaitan.. !! Who has suffered more than India…
    and its equally painful now to see U.S.A on the same track…. i m glad to see people realising their malaise intentions and hope the situation is controlled in next elections…
    This religion originated in desert…where thr is no life…no water….nature did not bless them ..and the DNA has been corrupt for centuries…!! They havenot known love and bliss anytime…and are pretty jealous of those who have actually found home within.. ! Mr OBama i dont know wht kind of a man he is …reminds India of being a secular state …sensing the threat to minorities… The whole nation was in panic and bomb blasted 5 times since i was in school..and when the time to punish them comes they cleverly behave like 5-yr old innocent kids. !!!they will spread very cunningly …slowly…and before yu know it …will back stabb…!! Taliban is already in India ..thanks to Politicans who supported them for vote bank.. !! I m sure things will change for good in U.S and people will understand the gravity of the situtaion… !!

      As Diana West explained over a year ago, the high-ranking Republican establishment at CPAC and the ACU shamefully turned a blind eye to warning from a small group of fellow conservatives who tried to warn them of Muslim Botherhood influence (and even had the galll and appalling ignorance to accuse them of being “McCarthyite” — as though that were a bad thing!):

        With you here, voetelinian. It just goes to show you that there is a difference often times between a Republican and a conservative. Ideally, the two should be synonymous. Sadly, they are many times not. And to the extent they are not synonymous the entire shame for this rests with “Republicans” and not with “conservatives.”

    Brava, Oppressaphobe!
    The first line that makes this story dead-fish stinky is the one about refusal of a full can of soda. Is this a recent policy change? I have requested a full can on most airlines, including United, and have not been refused. It’s simply to avoid having to keep catching the attendant to refill my cup!
    Every thing she’s claiming was said to her sounds completely made up and ridiculous. “No Diet Coke for you”? I know some FAs can be rude–but this all sounds too stupidly childish.The dreaded male passenger said, “You…Muslim”? PLEASE! Is this a CAIR script?
    By the way- did she ask for halal Diet Coke?
    I sense the airline has cravenly told its employees to just shut up and go along with everything she’s mewling about.

  42. Bindon Blood says

    Jun 2, 2015 at 2:36 pm

    The biggest contributor to this problem is the ridiculous laws that have been passed that encourage such blatant p–s taking behaviour by these people. It is the fear of being prosecuted under such Orwellian P.C laws as “hate speech”, “Islamophobia” “Racism” etc. that scares companies into settling with these professional trouble makers;and they know everyone’s cowed by these lefty laws The whole thing needs to ripped up.

    • Peggy says

      Jun 2, 2015 at 8:59 pm

      Yes, and who pays for it in the end, we all do. The airline has to recover costs somehow so prices have to go up.
      The biggest fault lies inour legal system. We have given them a way of destroying us. We have to change laws quickly.

    Yeah, they probably saw the whole thing, thew saw how you acted and what you did and said, and felt sorry for the crew members who had to put up with your savage behaviour.

    A muslima not getting what she demands because of stupid rules created because of muslim terrorists = islamophobia.

  46. Jax Tolmen says

    Jun 2, 2015 at 6:20 pm

    This is fake. There’s a thing that happens when people write dialogue – the over use of unusual terminology, the way the speech resembles the written word more than the spoken word, how it conveniently states the information so concisely – which rarely occurs in natural speech. The lack of any slang, euphemisms – how it’s portrayed as an ordered back and forth. Repetitive discussions of apparent feelings with no attention drawn to the physical effects etc.

    In no way does anything that she said resemble anything close to an actual conversation. Dialogue is the hardest thing to write effectively when it comes to prose – an area where even a lot of published authors struggle.

    This comes off as stilted, poorly written dialogue made up by some underpaid intern drawing up a training video on “Islamophobia”. At the very least, she is not quoting the exchange verbatim and is either inflating or miscontruing the entire alleged exchange.

    Jun 2, 2015 at 6:47 pm

  50. John Ross says

    Jun 7, 2015 at 4:15 am

    It would appear as this story unfolds that the Muslim so called Chaplain has resorted to Taquiya (lying to infidels) to create a stpry which is not true. Several witnesses have come forward and pointed out clearly how the matter unfolded and it now looks like the Muslim lady created this fiction herself. A flight Attendant has been fired for no good and sufficient reason. UNited and its affiliates seriously owe the flight attendant an apology and they need to rehire her immediately. The only one who has truly been discriminated against is the flight attendant. She has been found guilty by united and hung in the court of public opinion without eben a trial having taken place. The Muslim woman needs to find herself on the back end of a law suit by the flight attendant. same with United
