Imagine how scary air travel was for the passengers on American Airlines Flight 11, United Airlines Flight 175, American Airlines Flight 77, and United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. Imagine how scary air travel was for the passengers on the American Airlines flight that was sabotaged just last week by a Muslim mechanic who spoke about wanting to harm non-Muslims.
But even an airline as Sharia-compliant as American Airlines is not exempt from this victimhood mongering. Infidels are clearly not allowed to demonstrate any concern whatsoever about any Muslims on any plane, no matter how suspiciously he or she may be acting. Any such concern is “Islamophobia,” and makes airports “a scary place for Muslims.” This is the kind of language that makes Infidels jump into line. So whatever really happened in the case of Abderraoof Alkhawaldeh and Issam Abdallah, they will get a big payout and an apology from American Airlines, and one more lesson will be given to those who would dare raise concerns about Muslims behaving suspiciously on airplanes: don’t say a word. If you do, you’ll be charged with “racism” and “Islamophobia,” and your professional life could be destroyed. The effect will be to make it easier for Islamic jihadists to carry out jihad attacks on airplanes without being impeded. Of course that isn’t what Abderraoof Alkhawaldeh, Issam Abdallah, and Omar Suleiman want — is it?
“Two Muslim men say American Airlines canceled their flight to DFW because crew ‘didn’t feel comfortable’ flying with them,” by Kyle Arnold, Dallas Morning News, September 19, 2019:
Two Dallas-area Muslim men say their American Airlines flight was canceled because the crew “didn’t feel comfortable” after they waved to one another boarding a flight from Birmingham, Ala., to DFW International Airport.
When they got off, they said they were trailed by law enforcement officers, interviewed by an FBI agent and had their bags searched again by TSA during their trip Saturday.
Abderraoof Alkhawaldeh, a Muslim motivational speaker from Irving, and Dallas nonprofit leader Issam Abdallah said it was a blatant act of racial profiling and they have filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Transportation against Fort Worth-based American. They said they want to talk with the airline’s leaders about their treatment and what they say is an increasing number of cases of discrimination against Arabs and Muslims.
“It was the most humiliating day of my life,” Abdallah said, speaking Thursday at the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations….
American spokeswoman LaKesha Brown said the flight was canceled as a result of “concerns raised by a crew member and a passenger.”
“American and all of its regional partners have an obligation to take safety and security concerns raised by crew members and passengers seriously,” she said in a statement. “All customers on Flight 5886 were rebooked on the next flight to DFW. We’re committed to providing a positive experience to everyone who travels with us. Our team is working with Mesa to review this incident.”
Brown said the airline has reached out to Alkhawaldeh and Abdallah to “better understand their experience.”…
“The safety and security of our customers is our top priority, and we are conducting a thorough investigation of this matter,” Mesa spokesman Jack Heller said Thursday….
Imam Omar Suleiman of Dallas said instances of racial profiling of Muslims are increasing, particularly at airports and on planes.
“Airports are a scary place for Muslims,” said Suleiman, who founded the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research in Dallas. “Especially with the rhetoric of the president.”
The men, who know each other from the local Muslim community, said they were traveling separately from a charity meeting in Birmingham. They were sitting in separate sections and waved to one another while boarding.
During a flight delay because of maintenance issues, Abdallah said he got up to use the restroom, and when he came out a flight attendant was standing unusually close to the restroom door.
The crew soon announced that the flight was canceled. Alkhawaldeh said he overheard a crew member saying it was canceled for security reasons.
When they got off the plane, law enforcement officials were waiting for them. After some initial questioning, the men said they were let go but then tailed by a number of uniformed officers to a coffee shop and other areas.
After a few minutes, both men said they were again approached by law enforcement and taken into a private interrogation. They had their bags searched again by TSA officers.
Alkhawaldeh and Abdallah said while being interviewed by law officers, they were each told the flight was canceled because the crew didn’t feel comfortable flying with the two men. The fact that Abdallah flushed the toilet twice while using the airplane restroom also caused suspicion, Abdallah said he was told.
They were booked on a later flight along with many of the same passengers who saw them approached by law enforcement officials as the plane was emptied.
Alkhawaldeh said he flies with American often and is an AAdvantage Executive Platinum member, the company’s highest frequent flier ranking.
“This is absurd, unacceptable and un-American,” Alkhawaldeh said.

Dallas: Two Muslims taken off plane, Hamas-linked CAIR top dog claims “Airports are a scary place for Muslims”
……………….
Just appalling.
As Robert Spencer notes, airports turned out to be truly scary places for the victims of 9/11–and Lockebie, and many other Jihad terror attacks.
Moshe says
There is not enough information in this article to assess whether the actions of the flight crew and security officers were reasonable or unreasonable. It therefore strikes me as premature to conclude that any aspect is “appalling.”
Viral GI distress could readily lead to two flushes of the WC toilet on the airplane, for example. There are many possible explanations unrelated to religious extremism.
Further details of the incident would be required to evaluate the appropriateness of the crew’s suspicions.
Keys says
Maybe they suspected them of having meat grinders or wearing shoes ?
Carolyne says
Or underwear.
Westman says
I remember when airliners were being hijacked as political statements by communists to fly to Cuba and other locations. There was no intent to kill, unlike today’s jihadist aspirations for mayhem.
Islam ideology, readily verified, is quoted by Islamic radicals in the commission of attacks and killing of unbelievers and these men are often radicalized in Mosques beside “moderates” from teachers using the same Quran and Sunnah.
We are all waiting in lines, our bags sniffed by dogs and machines, arms up, revealing our under clothing because some Muslims commited, commit, and will commit, violence in the name of Allah. If you profess to follow Allah then stop the budding terrorists in your midst or “man up” for the scrutiny that cannot be avoided without putting us all at risk.
mortimer says
Yes, Westman: “We are all waiting in lines, our bags sniffed by dogs and machines, arms up, revealing our under clothing because some …” PEOPLE DID SOMETHING.
Jule Bacal says
If some muslims are inconvenienced or even suspected. it is worth it so avoid ANY MORE religious jihad. We want absolutely ZERO more from any misguided religion and Islam does promote it even if some individual Muslims would never….many do. Thats fact. Until Islam changes the way it teaches and preaches, it will be HIGHLY suspected. Those of us non Muslims who read the Qur’an, the scholars and listen to sermons TODAY know it is total Neglect not to suspect and watch. They do not like it, then CHANGE the way it is though I understand they are completely blocked by that action with threat of death and condemnation by Allah. What a set up. Because of what they are taught to BELIEVE they are a danger same as nazigroups, KKKLan or ANY SUPREMACIST groups. Supremacism is against USA laws and values. Supremacism is not part of diversity or freedom because the definition of a supremacist is ANTI-Freedom, Anti-diversity. That cannot be in USA. Reality is that these groups should not be allowed here as it is like allowing traitors to overthrow the Constitution. We do have a Supremacist Constitution. All Supremacists are SUSPECT and dangerous. People make a mistake to allow such an IDEOLOGY pretending it cannot spread or mean no harm to anyone. After studying Islam, I suspect it to the MAX. Even if all those people born into it and had it forced on them may not BELIEVE…but they are taught to BELIEVE or Allah will have them. And using POLITICS is just as dangerous as using violence as we see today. Democracy to Islam means 2 billion or so growing & pushing their Religious Warlord ideas on everyone else.
mortimer says
GI, there are millions of people around the world today who are SURVIVORS of JIHAD ATTACKS or grieving families after jihad attacks. YOU ARE CORRECT, GI. Airports frighten the millions of survivors because Muslim terrorists have DEVASTATED their lives ONE TIME ALREADY !!
This evil trio Abderraoof Alkhawaldeh, Issam Abdallah, and Omar Suleiman have NO SYMPATHY WHATSOEVER for the SURVIVORS OF JIHAD.

JW_Reader says
Yes, presumption of safety in flight is lost forever after 9/11. And those were not Buddhist monk perpetrating those attacks. After 9/11, CAIR appeared with Imam Bush declaring Islam is a religion of peace. American Airlines and all the airline should remind CAIR of 9/11 each time CAIR complain about the treatment of Muslims by any airlines.
william carr says
The very reason we have all this airline security is precisely the result of ‘what some people (Muslims)did’
so they have only themselves to blame. Those there in the photo look very ‘scary’ to me as well, with their copious facial hair and beetle brows
David says
Indeed. No mention of them criticising the terrorists whose actions now necessitate such stringent security measures and reactions from staff and fellow passengers. Profiling exists for a very good reason – we rely on it to hone in on those who would do us harm (i.e. serial killers) – Islam is not a race so I fail to see how it could be racial profiling. However if race were indeed a significant risk factor then why shouldn’t it be part of the profiling?

WHICH BOOK has the word “BELEAGUER” in it?
Answer: THE KORAN. “Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them: seize them, BELEAGUER them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war).” (K.9:5)
DICTIONARY MEANING OF “BELEAGUER” to cause a lot of problems or difficulties for someone.
So Muslims are commanded by Allah to CAUSE A LOT OF PROBLEMS OR DIFFICULTIES to the DIRTY KUFAAR.
Examples: Americans are “BELEAGUERED” with many restrictions as to what they can take into the CABIN of an airplane.
These restrictions, of course, are because there are ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.
No, Mr. Alkhawaldeh, we are not going to forget that 19 ISLAMIC TERRORISTS caused the attacks on 9-11.
Mr. Alkhawaldeh, did you get that?
Joss says
But will he read these comments?
JM says
I’m afraid not. Here we are always preaching to the choir, unfortunately.
mortimer says
Don’t count on that, JM. JihadWatch is required reading by Muslim apologists and terrorists and one of the best sources of information on atrocities committed daily by Muslims.
Just because most of them don’t comment (out of fear of being identified or tracked) that doesn’t mean they aren’t reading. I would count on one out of one thousand Muslim JW-readers actually commenting. When they do comment, it’s filled with melodramatic self-pity, specious victimology and illogical non-sequiturs, tu quoques and circular argument. Islam cannot be defended and increasingly the less intelligent and less informed Muslims are the only ones who post comments. Even lebel realizes that his posts are not arguments, but mere emotional opinions based on hurt feelings, rather than valid facts and logic.

Then there are the Muslims who threaten us with Jihad and Shari’ah.

Many Muslims have commented how nice Western people are to them … never suspecting the hatred towards the dirty kufaar that Muslims inwardly conceal from the kafirs.

I smile to your face and curse you in my heart. It is impossible to tell who is who. A “moderate” is a “radical” on standby as far as I’m concerned.
JW_Reader says
Yes, any Mslims who practice their religion in any way in public should be viewed with suspicion. And that include, Muslim beard, prayer, hijab, halal food, etc. Any Muslim who espouses Islam should also be placed on terror watch list and banned from flying.
ronyvo says
How about kicking them ALL out of our country. This is much safer and cheaper and is the NORMAL reaction after 9/11. About trusting a Muslim, I’ve never ever trusted a Muslim in my life. Being a Christian born in Egypt and got the Islamic treatment first hand, I know better not to give my back to a Muslim, let alone flying with one.
It is to my absolute amazement that there are so many Americans support Muslims. I would not eat in a Muslim restaurant or treated by a Muslim doctor. When I see many Americans are eating at restaurants posting ‘halal” I get angry at their utter ignorance.
mortimer says
ronyvo, that won’t happen because of human rights laws and for you to say that doesn’t help our cause at all. What we can do is apply the immigration laws more firmly … laws that are already on the books. We need to block the introduction of Islamic curricula in schools which misrepresent Islam as benign.
GreekEmpress says
ronyvo,
I can only imagine what you endured being a Christian in Egypt.
And I understand your frustration with Americans who are oblivious to the threat Islam ptesents. I think those of us who have experienced it first hand or have had ancestors who experienced persecution from Muslims have a better understanding of what could happen.
Diane Harvey says
“’This is absurd, unacceptable and un-American,’ Alkhawaldeh said.”
And you and all your other Muslims friends, all following your hate-filled Qur’an, have made it that way.
mortimer says
No, it actually isn’t “un-American” to be concerned about security from fifth columnists … such as Hamas-linked CAIR. Even at the time of the American Revolution, there were committees formed to ensure the security of each town from fifth columnists. The Muslim Brotherhood front organizations are fifth columnists in the US.
The FBI is doing a reasonably good job at identifying jihadists living in the US, but if they have Robert Spencer teaching the agents, they will identify many more. That’s a hint to you fellows.
Savvy Kafir says
I think these poor, frightened Muslims would be much more comfortable living in Muslim-majority countries. In fact, I think we should insist upon it.

They are always “moslims”…never just citizens. But when they get caught being suspicious, are questioned, or are the focus of any other attention…which they really seek so they can scream about being profiled, picked on, mistreated, hated, ‘feared’ by the phobic, etc., …they always go for the “this isn’t America, this isn’t American, this is unconstitutional.”
They lie like the cheap rugs they prey on, but are exceedingly transparent….they want the negative attention so they can make complaints, whine and sue and eventually be able to carry any size bomb on any public conveyance without anyone so much as whispering about it..So they can walk through the metal detectors making all kinds of alarms sound, and no one will stop them or question them for fear of being sued. So they can wink and nod and speak in their language of terror, scaring everyone, smirking about it and then go on to carry out their terror acts…without anyone being bold enough to lift a hand against them.

For instance, why would two men leave one of the most active CAIR chapters in the country (Texas), to fly to impoverished CAIR-Alabama to discuss opening schools in Africa?

In addition to any of that, one of the Muslims has numerous connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Boohoo. Muslims have ruined air travel for everyone. Airplanes with muslims in or around them have become scary places for many non muslims.
Most people don’t complain when they go to an airport and get treated as if they are islamic jihadists. The protest make me wonder, what are they hiding?

Alarmed Pig Farmer says
I was at a boarding gate in Twin Cities Int’l Airport a week or so after two local imams had purposefully staged weird behavior to force a security confrontation on a Delta flight. There was a Moslem sitting a few feet from me, and he suddenly threw down his prayer rug and rudely plumped his fat ass in my face as he moved his lips, silently praying. He wasn’t scared. As I looked around at the dozens of Infidel passengers looking a me and the praying Moslem, I thought, “they’re scared, or at least very concerned, and I am too.”
No we have Rep Ilhan Omar, D-MN to hold Moslem fear in check.
GreekEmpress says
Alarmed Pig Farmer,
I quit changing planes at the Twin Cities airport, due to what I felt were lax security procedures and a preponderance of Muslim employees. In lieu of what happened with the attempted sabotage of an American Airlines flight recently by a Muslim mechanic, flying anywhere these days is a lot riskier.

Rhetorical queston: If the vaunted Moderate Moslem did exist, if, shouldn’t they account for the fact that their “radical” brethren make such fear among non-Moslems, which is why all the caution, that the caution is understandable and reasonable?
***
The key to all this rests in the contents of Islam. But, as easier as they are to see and acknowledge, the contents of Islam are never brought up to in front of the general population. This is for two reasons:
1 – Non-Moslem leaders (politicians, academics, news entertainers) won’t acknowledge the truth about islam because to do so would be too risky.to one’s career and community standing.
2 – Non-Moslems can look up the contents of Islam easily, but don’t know to do that or won’t do it because acknowledging the truth would be too much, and would prove the need to exclude one set of people from the rights conferred by the U.S. Constitution.

Since all moslims…from wherever country and whatever sect…believe the same things about killing the rest of us…how can any moslim feel safe, knowing other moslims may have gotten their orders from their terror group leader…to take out a plane, blow up a bridge, run a car through a crowd on a sidewalk, etc.?
when moslims walk into an airport, they can’t know personally every other moslim that might be there. Suppose a moslim becomes “disgruntled” on a Monday afternoon and puts a monkey wrench where it will bring the plane down, and lo and behold, two moslims from cair, or two moslim congress “reps” are taking a flight that day…and the disgruntled guy knows that moslims die for their fake god every day killing others, so he does not delay his evil for a day when these moslims are not traveling. After all, the cair creep said he is a ‘frequent flyer’….so they should be afraid.
