Passengers on Delta flight dispute story of Muslim who claimed he was removed from plane for speaking Arabic

Dec 22, 2016 3:57 am By Robert Spencer

Also, he has a history of prank videos on planes, as well as of fabricating anti-Muslim hate crimes, as I noted here. The real question is why anyone at all takes this clown seriously at this point. Apparently the Muslim victimhood industry is so short on actual anti-Muslim hate crimes, and so desperate to find grist for its mill, that even a serial liar and grifter like Adam Saleh can gain an eager following, nodding seriously as he whines about the “racists” and “Islamophobes” of Delta Airlines.

An update on this story. “REPORT: Passengers on Delta Flight Disputing Adam Saleh’s Story About Phone Call,” by Alex Griswold, Mediaite, December 21, 2016:

Someone else on the same Delta flight as YouTube prankster/hoaxer Adam Saleh told a reporter Wednesday that those on the plane say he did not make a phone call to his mother, supposedly the reason Saleh was booted from the flight.

Saleh’s video of the incident went viral Wednesday, along with his claim that he was kicked out “because I spoke Arabic to my mom on the phone.” Shortly afterwards, however, others pointed out that Saleh had a history of making videos about fake anti-Muslim racial profiling incidents and prank videos about planes in particular:

This is the guy who you guys think actually got kicked off a plane for speaking Arabic. #boycottdeltapic.twitter.com/ORqHxla1Kp

— Ashley Rae (@Communism_Kills) December 21, 2016

In a “small world” moment, veteran journalist and former CNN host Soledad O’Brien tweeted Wednesday morning that she actually knew someone who was on the flight, who provided her with some background.

Soooo. I have a good friend on this flight right now. Getting additional details on how this went down. Standby https://t.co/ibOv6rguYU

— Soledad O’Brien (@soledadobrien) December 21, 2016

O’Brien’s source told her that the Delta flight attendants were made aware that Saleh was a YouTube prankster.

A LOT still unclear. But apparently woman sitting near my friend tipped off flight attendants he was a youtube star known for pranks.

— Soledad O’Brien (@soledadobrien) December 21, 2016

Moreover, the source also told O’Brien that those aboard the flight were disputing the claim that he made a phone call to his mother, as Saleh claims in the video.

Also people on plane disputing call to mom

— Soledad O’Brien (@soledadobrien) December 21, 2016

UPDATE 7:11 p.m. EST: Delta has issued a follow-up statement obtained by Mediaite’s sister site LawNewz finding that Saleh was being disruptive:

Based on the information collected to date, it appears the customers who were removed sought to disrupt the cabin with provocative behavior, including shouting. This type of conduct is not welcome on any Delta flight.

    Passengers on Delta flight dispute story of Muslim who claimed he was removed from plane for speaking Arabic
    …………………………

    Bravo to the passengers for speaking out.

    From reports I’ve heard, he and his friend were aggressively yelling in Arabic and pumping their fists in the air. This was not a case of his gently speaking to his mom in Arabic as he claimed.

      This is his Jihad!
      It comes in many forms including, protest the flag, send money to mosque, which sends the money to activists (jihadists)
      And to CAIR … et all Muslim brotherhood fronts. Jail is where he needs to be performing. He won’t be safe on the streets of America.

    Looking only at the titles of some of his video “pranks”, this guy seems to get a twisted kick out of acting up on planes. He appears to enjoy making others uncomfortable or just outright frightened.

      Absolutely Shoomoviyet. Not just him, but other Muslims too stand out for their pig-headed arrogance. A good number of Muslims revel and bask in the terrorist acts of their brethren. They love to parade in airports in their Islamic garb and ugly beards.

      They get a perverse sense of satisfaction by making infidels feel uncorfortable. They derive pleasure from it. Muslims are in incredibly difficult to deal with. They know how to bear down on you and wear you out, employing various tactics. It’s unceasing.

      The terrorists murder you, while the so-called moderates gradually suck the life out of you if not careful and don’t fight back. My people, the Sikhs and Hindus, learnt the hard way, over several centuries and countless genocidal massacres, tortures, rapes, abductions, forced conversions, near annhilement of our cultures and religion, and the dismemberment of the sub-continent. Western powers like the US looked the way. Now they faced with the same problem.

      Regretably, Europe is in for a lot more pain if it doesn’t change direction soon.

        Maybe it’s time you went back to school to learn a little history.Far more buddhists were massacred by muslims than hindus in South Asia.India is the cradle of the buddhist religion and now there’s only one percent in India.
        “Western powers like the US looked the (other??) way.” When the killings and forced conversions were happening the USA did not yet exist as a nation and the europeans were just beginning their exploration of Asia.
        If you are trying put guilt on the creators of the most amazing civilisation that has ever existed then you are part of the problem.

        • Singh the Sikh says

          Dec 22, 2016 at 5:05 pm

          Forget about history. You are ignorant of even what’s happening now.

          You say: “When the killings and forced conversions were happening the USA did not yet exist and the europeans were just beginning their exploration of Asia.” Laughable.

          The killings have been ongoing in India since the 8th century, according to accounts. They continue to the present time, you dork. I’m referring to partition, Bangladesh massacres (1971), ethnic cleansing of Sikhs and Kashmiri pundits, persecution of Hindus and Christian minorities in Bangladesh and Pakistan to this very day. Christians, Jews and other minorities in all majority Muslim nations have suffered in like manner, and no doubt Buddhists also, in proportion to their numbers.

          Crawl out from under your rock and go look up the figures. They are easily available.

          You claim that I am “…trying put guilt on the creators of the most amazing civilisation that has ever existed…” I was actually trying to point out the folly of supporting Islamists – the US was a staunch Pakistan ally even during the genocide in Bangladesh (death estimates – 500,000 to over 3 million) – but now that you have pointed it out, yes, leaders in the US and some other Western powers bear some guilt for turning a blind eye to the massacres. It’s a blight on their great civilizations.

          Up to 400,000 Bengali women were victims of gang sexual assault and rape/murder, Brownmiller writes that Pakistani soldiers not only violated Bengali women on the spot; they abducted tens of hundreds and held them by force in their military barracks for nightly use. Some women may have been raped as many as eighty times in a night. Girls of eight and grandmothers of seventy-five had been sexually assaulted (Brownmiller, p. 83).

          To turn a blind eye to such atrocities diminishes greatness to great extent.

          Here’s are some reliable links. Go educate yourself.

        I didn’t think about it, but you are right. That kind of satisfaction is familiar to me when I walk my dog. He is 65 kg black Cane Corso and his effect on moslems is very satisfying.

    Passengers have a right not to be deliberately upset. Crew members have a right not to be the object of so-called “pranks” at their expense. This kind of disruptive behavior constitutes a threat, as well, to safety. Not only is the crew being disgracefully mocked, but if they are dealing with this passenger, and a real emergency were to arise, the distracted crew might not respond immediately. And the pilots, too, no doubt are made aware of, and might be distracted by this passenger’s “prank.”. Adam Saleh may find himself hilarious, but he’s no joke..

    Airlines have a duty to keep such people off their flights. . Not just Delta, but all airlines in the United States should ban this unfunny and dangerous man from flying. Adam Saleh has already proven, again and again, that he is indifferent to the well-being of his fellow passengers, and the crew members who have had to deal with him. If there is no law on the books at present giving airlines the right to permanently ban those who “use airline flights for purposes other than travel, such as making propaganda videos,” or as backdrop for what they disingenuously claim is a “comedy” routine or prank, then such a law should be passed. I’m sure Congress would be happy to oblige.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 22, 2016 at 5:34 pm

      Very true, Hugh. And the airplane passengers and crew have no guarantee that this creep and his crony will stop at disruptive behavior–the behavior might well turn dangerous.

      I am boarding an international flight next week. I’m happy to say that I will be flying Delta. I could have saved about $200 to go with another airline, but I decided to fly Delta and spend the extra money. I will now make it a point to fly Delta whenever I can.

      Dec 22, 2016 at 5:47 pm

      Fine video, David.

      I am a great fan of your work–great to see you posting here.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 22, 2016 at 6:13 pm

        And here’s a small but telling point from the video–Adam Saleh claims that 9/11 was an inside job, and everybody knows it–but they are too ignorant to know it.

        So–which is it? Do all Infidels know this, and just pretend to be frightened when Muslims on planes act threateningly–or are they so ignorant that they don’t realize that Muslims are never violent?

        Never mind that the idea that 9/11 was an “inside job”–Saleh has explicitly blamed it on George Bush–is ridiculous to begin with. Muslims are waging violent Jihad all over the world.

    Dec 22, 2016 at 1:41 pm

    Adam Selah was the cause of a young man from Singapore being jailed for 4 months. Amos Yee spent time in jail for speaking out against the koran. Adam reported Amos to the authorities. So it would seem that Adam expects us to put up with his creepy pranks but just try to speak against the koran.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 22, 2016 at 7:32 pm

      Yes, Pam. Here’s Adam Saleh losing it over Amos Yee daring to–mostly entirely accurately–critique the Qur’an:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_5qGO4_tA8

      This includes Saleh’s apologia for sex slavery.

      And yes–at the end, as the “Logicked” host notes, Saleh demands that Muslims report Yee–who is just a 17-year-old kid–to the authorities, after which he is imprisoned.

      By the way, Yee has been critical of Christianity, as well. Here is a devout Christian with a great sense of humor and perspective calling for freedom of speech and the release of Amos Yee:

    Dec 22, 2016 at 5:35 pm

    I agree with Hugh’s assessment that very direct assertive action must be taken for obvious reasons spelled out.

    Moi? Sorry folks some things are worth fighting for and that is a face that needs to be punched. I’d ask permission to disembark and then let pus head know we are going to the cage. Totally willing to take one for the team, why?
    This retard will be back no one will do anything and its the last course of action, jail is worth it, courts dates are worth it, lawyer fee’s are worth it otherwise everyone being killed is being mocked as well and what do we do but kick him off the flight. Big deal so what? He laughs at our murdered citizens!
    He will be back and mocking the victims of cowardly Islamic attacks again. We can’t let these things pass it will only make it worse with continuing ferocity. Everyone should really get their buckets nearby. Besides if he accepts my invitation to a cage match its self defense for both of us at that point.
    I am no way advocating violence on the plane or in an airport he just needs to be called out and trust me he will show continued respect on every flight for the rest of his miserable life.

    Delta should drag this piece of shit to court and sue him for defamation. Even though I am no fan of Delta (hate their cramped seats), this is one time I would love to see a corporation win.
    They can easily claim their revenue has suffered due to the #boycottDelta trend that this dirtbag kicked off for his personal gain.
