Amani al-Khatahtbeh tells her story on Twitter:
I had the craziest experience in TSA this morning.
An entitled white man behind me insisted on cutting me in line because I was “still taking my shoes off.”
When I said he could wait like everyone else, he started going off about how he’s “pre check” and “first class” 1/3

Most people, of any and every race and creed, can recall an incident or incidents in which someone cut in a line in front of them, but Amani al-Khatahtbeh, a self-described “veiled Muslim woman,” took it upon herself to create a clamor and claim that the incident was all about race, openly labeling the man an “entitled white man” and then accusing him of a temper tantrum as the incident escalated. No Muslim, or anyone else, should be subject to discrimination or racism; but in observing al-Khatahtbeh’s approach to this incident, one can understand why her aggressiveness may have caused nervousness among other passengers. She tweeted:
Y’all know if I, a VEILED MUSLIM WOMAN, had the audacity to throw a temper tantrum and run through TSA security, I would have gotten BODIED. I would have been detained, missed my flight, possibly gotten charged, etc.
The man did not initially throw a “temper tantrum,” by her own account; nor did he “run through TSA security.” He went ahead of her, explaining that he was in first class with TSA precheck. He may have been rude, as many people are to others of all races and creeds. But now the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is involved, acknowledging that all the facts are not yet known, but nevertheless escalating the incident further with erroneous accusations of discrimination against American Airlines:
“Although we do not yet know all of the facts about this incident, we do know that American Airlines has a history of mistreating Muslim travelers,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a statement.”
It is policy to remove a passenger who is disagreeable and creating a scene, and then to investigate afterward.
Like good little dhimmis, American Airlines, after the pattern of many other businesses, will likely apologize and even pay money to al-Khatahtbeh and CAIR in order to end the accusations of “Islamophobia.” Instead, the airline should be challenging CAIR for stating that it “has a history of mistreating Muslim travelers.”
Imagine if everyone made a scene and hurled accusations of discrimination about every person butting in line in front of them. It would also hardly make news, unless of course it was a “veiled Muslim woman” with “unindicted co-conspirator” CAIR backing her.
“A Muslim woman says she was removed from an American Airlines flight because a white passenger felt ‘uncomfortable'”, by Yelena Dzhanova, Insider, November 15, 2020:
A Muslim influencer said she was booted from an American Airlines flight in New Jersey on Saturday because a white male passenger told agents he did not “feel comfortable” with her onboard.
Amani al-Khatahtbeh, an activist and the founder of a blog geared toward Muslim women, said in a Twitter thread that “an entitled white man” complained about her after a tense interaction while standing in line for airport security.
The man, whose identity is not yet known, was standing behind her when he “insisted on cutting me in line because I was ‘still taking my shoes off,'” al-Khatahtbeh said in a tweet.
“When I said he could wait like everyone else, he started going off about how he’s ‘pre check’ and ‘first class,'” she added.
The man then pushed his luggage and shoes ahead of hers, al-Khatahtbeh said in a tweet, and then ran through the body-scanning machine.
“TSA did NOTHING,” she wrote on Twitter. “Not only did they not do anything, a TSA officer had the audacity to tell ME to ‘cut it out.'”
Al-Khatahtbeh wrote in a subsequent tweet that if she had behaved in the same way as the man had, she would have faced retribution from security.
“Y’all know if I, a VEILED MUSLIM WOMAN, had the audacity to throw a temper tantrum and run through TSA security, I would have gotten BODIED,” she added. “I would have been detained, missed my flight, possibly gotten charged, etc.”
When she boarded the flight, she learned that the man had complained about her to an airline agent, she said. American Airlines then tried to remove her from the flight.
Al-Khatahtbeh posted a video to Twitter in which a man wearing a yellow American Airlines manager vest is saying he’s going to remove her.
“The captain asked me, as a manager, for me to remove you from the aircraft because there’s a passenger on board who doesn’t feel comfortable with you being here,” he said.
The manager is heard saying in the video that he was not there to witness the interaction between al-Khatahtbeh and the passenger.
She then told the manager she didn’t feel comfortable with that passenger. “I want that passenger removed as well,” she told him.
The manager told her they can “discuss that outside.” The video does not show the passenger in reference.
Al-Khatahtbeh told Insider that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim rights nonprofit, has reached out to American Airlines on her behalf.
“Although we do not yet know all of the facts about this incident, we do know that American Airlines has a history of mistreating Muslim travelers,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a statement to Insider. “The airline must immediately explain why it singled out Amani by contacting the police and ejecting her from a flight based on the word of a man who had allegedly harassed her.”…

Seems to me that “influencer” is just another word for propagandist

How ironic she should complain about being treated as a second class citizen when her veil clearly indicates that’s what she is. What a loooozer!!!
somehistory says
And in a moslims controlled nation, she might not even be allowed to fly. Or be out and about without her male “owner.”
gravenimage says
*So* true, Somehistory.
DavidR says
Her eyes say “I dare you.” From her thumbnail pic I would also suggest that she is not married to facial coverings or modesty and therefore doesn’t know her religion. She may even be more Muslim when she comes in contact with White people doing their jobs and going about their business. But then someone is almost as testy as she is and it becomes another milestone in history.
Stanton Lore says
She found her niche in life and is exploiting it as far as it will take her. She is correct that TSA would have grabbed her if she ran through as she did. BUT, since he has the pre-boarding perks, it means nothing. If anyone not pre-approved tries to rush through they will be apprehended.
tim gallagher says
I’d call this piece of Muslim crap an “entitled” Muslim, entitled, by being a Muslim, to spend her useless life whingeing and whining about being a poor victim because of her Muslimness. It is quite an industry this poor victimised Muslim scam. It seems to employ a lot of Muslims who do nothing but whinge and whine and get around with gigantic chips on their shoulders all the time. They are always looking for someone to victimise them in their paranoid eyes. I hate this bullshit term “entitled white male”. As if some white males aren’t down and out, homeless, etc. This type of jargon is total bullshit. If this Muslim does feel that the white people are victimising her then she should definitely piss off back to a Muslim country where there will only be other darker skinned people and there won’t be white people who supposedly give her a hard time. She won’t be missed.
Wellington says
Well said, tg. Yes, playing the victim is an entire cottage industry of its own for Mohammedans. They’ve made a lot of headway this way, including the acquisition of a ton of money.
GreekEmpress says
More litigation jihad, for sure.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comment, Wellington. This caper where the Muslims always try to portray themselves as victims is something that is often mentioned by the wide awake commenters here at Jihad Watch. As I mentioned in my comment up above, I feel that Muslims get around with massive chips on their shoulders and take offence at any trivial garbage. But Muslims treat non-Muslims like crap in any country where they gain power, so I have zero sympathy for the constantly offended Muslims. I wish Muslims would bugger off back to their Muslim countries. It would improve all our non-Muslim countries enormously. GreekEmpress, I’m sure you and Wellington are right. Another parasitic Muslim sees a way to scam some money out of the infidels. It’s quite an industry and it avoids having to actually go and do some genuine, useful work and earn a living in an honest way.
James Lincoln says
tim gallagher,
A large percent of Muslims in Western countries do not want to “actually go and do some genuine, useful work and earn a living in an honest way.”
They are counting on the infidels to do the heavy lifting, pay taxes, so that the muslims can live off the welfare gravy train.
Just another form of jizya…
tim gallagher says
No doubt about that, James. Also, and I suppose it has a lot to do with the Muslim contempt for the laws of infidel countries, Muslims are into crime to a huge degree, here in Australia, and I guess everywhere else. They are into big time drug dealing, insurance fraud (fake traffic accidents and claims of bullshit injuries to rip off insurance companies), child care centre fraud,( claiming government (ie taxpayers’) money for children in child care centres where there are no children being cared for), etc, and the list goes on and on. Any criminal scam where they can see a way to rip off the non-Muslim country they are infesting, they’ll be into.
janicevanguilder says
the passive/aggressive demeanor tends to bring out the worst in those who observe or have to deal with it. this is a classic manipulative technique that pushes many peoples’ buttons – and she knows it.
Wellington says
No sympathy. When you adhere to a belief system that calls for war to be made upon all humanity until your belief system is dominant across the earth, has as its founder a man who said, “I have been made victorious with terror” {Bukhari Hadith 9.84.57}, actually sanctions rape as found in Suras 4, 23, 33 and 70 of MeinKorampf, and requires death for anyone who leaves your belief system (e.g., Sura 4:89), someone cutting you in line, if indeed this occurred, is less than a de minimis matter in my book.
Invariably and how telling, the faux victim Muslims are in non-Muslim lands. But in Muslim lands real victims abound, even to a lethal degree, never mind significant degradation, precisely because they are not Muslim.
Islam is worthy of contempt for numerous reasons. One of them is its rank hypocrisy, often attended by sheer mendacity.

… he started going off about how he’s ‘pre check’ and ‘first class,’” she added..”
weeell. that’s why. He had paid more for the better product and rightfully went for it.
Eat your heart out or pay as well next time.
If it says pre-check, it normally is and it costs money.
And not welfare money

In years past, men in England would “buy” into royalty if they had the funds Now, men (and women) everywhere buy better food, clothing, cars, houses…and airline seats.
She believes she owns the privilege or “entitlement” because she is a “veiled moslim woman,’ in America.

AA should stand their ground on the grounds that she was creating a scene, being verbally abusive to another passenger…one who was paying more to fly…and generally stinking up the terminal with her arrogant behavior.
cair’s awad should be told to go fly a kite somewhere in pakistan or turkey and leave the airline to sort it out and see that the bigot…the “veiled moslim creepy creature” learns her lesson about how to behave in an airport.
Next, she’ll be claiming that the “entitled while man” was pulling on her scarf and telling her to go home. But the question is, if she knew he was “entitled” when he wanted her to allow him to go ahead of her while she removed her shoes, why did she put up such a fuss?
If a person is “entitled” then that means they are “entitled,” to something. In this case, to go ahead of her.
On the last flight I took, those in First Class….***all went ahead*** of me as I didn’t pay to go as much as they did. Everyone in my section waited patiently until we were called by the airline personnel. By the time I got on board, the first class passengers were already seated and many had settled in with seats back, laptops out, etc.. They were also offered drinks and snacks first.
You pay for what you get. (one does not always get what they pay for.)

Anna Yelena says
She claims racism, all I want to know is she a Black Muslim or Asian? If not then as usual the word “ racism” again overused ad nauseam. Imagine a so called Muslim whining and playing the victim. All I can say if y’all Muslims don’t like America whether you’re born here or invaded, leave, no one will miss you. Shalom, aurevoir, auf wiedersehen, ciao, adios, goodbye.
Andrew says
She wants to be treated equally… well heads up cupcake this is what equality looks like…
Reminds me of Mrs Obama claiming racism when some white woman cut in front of her at Starbucks,rather than just somebody cutting in front of some other person, so if Mrs Obama cut in front of that white woman because she is First (ex) Lady is that also racism.
People like this wee silly muslim girl and Mrs Obummer need to learn what equality means.
At least the wee muslim lassie got more clicks… Isnt that what its really about?.
vcragain says
Truth is we have all met this type of belligerent female when traveling. They are usually ignored by other passengers who give each other eye-rolls, and we all just get on with having to put up with an entitled person who doesn’t know how to be gracious on a crowded plane – yuck, yuck, I have no doubt the white male was pushy & shoved himself in front of her too – and THOSE we all know as well.!…this was an unfortunate mix of 2 entitled types !!! This should have been treated as such by the airline….just make sure they sit well away from each other, but give them BOTH a lecture on how to treat troublesome people – which we see EVERY DAMNED DAY !!!!!
OLD GUY says
What a poor underprivileged muslim women that a man was rude to her. She as a Muslim/islamic woman should be used to much worse treatment then that by her muslim islamic males. After all she is a female and only worth 1/2 the truth of that of a man.
So what’s her bitch, he didn’t beat her or kill her . He only claimed his right as a first class passenger and status as a man.
