During the Second World War(the good war), we were afraid of our
Japanese American Citizens. So we locked many of them up. During the
days following the Second World War, we became afraid of our former
friends, the Soviets. Especially we were afraid of their religion,
Communism. We fanned our fear and ran around like Chicken Little,
finding Reds and Pinkos under every bed and behind every closet door.
Even as we fought to keep those evil commies out of Korea, we fretted
about the coming Soviet planes, dropping A Bombs on our heads. So we
rushed about digging bomb shelters. Then of course, it was the Domino
Theory where Communism was being spread from Veit Nam to all the
nations of the world. But thanks to the piles of dead Marines and
Agent Orange, we...well, we didn't exactly win, but notice that
Communism hasn't spread? So now come the dreaded Muslims and their
Jehadah. We can't keep Muslims separate from Terrorists, but then
what the heck, they all look alike.
And we don't think that we are a White Supremacist People? Say,
remember that bridge I can sell you? Well I also have some prime land
in Florida.

#FlyingWhileMuslim: More Muslims Kicked off Flights for Nothing
By teleSUR

It appears that Muslims are being targetted on flights for being Muslim.
It has already been documented that solving math problems and reading a
book can get you kicked off a plane if you're perceived as Muslim.
Now sweating can be added to that list.
A Muslim-American couple flying from Paris to Cincinnati were prevented
from
boarding Friday because flight crew suspected them of "suspicious"
behavior,
news outlets reported.
Faisal Ali and Nazia Ali were waiting for their flight when a Delta
Airlines
employee asked the couple to exit the aircraft.
"We asked if we should get our stuff and he said, 'Yes, take all of your
stuff as you won't be on that flight'," Nazia Ali told The Independent.
"That was really alarming."
They were interrogated for their stay in Paris, where the couple had
traveled to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary.
After explaining there was no issue, the employee then told them that the
pilot had decided to ask them to leave as one of their crew members had
felt
"uncomfortable," saying Faisal Ali had hid his phone as they walked by, and
was sweating and saying "Allah".
Faisal Ali was simply texting his mother to tell her that they had boarded
their flight.
The next day, the couple was also interrogated by a US customs agent.
When Faisal Ali asked what they had done wrong, the agent told them, "You
have done nothing wrong, unfortunately this is the way the world is right
now. It is Delta's word against yours."
The Council of American-Islamic Relations has filed a complaint against
Delta.
"By falsely construing their simple and normal actions into something scary
and threatening, it is clear that Mr. and Mrs. Ali were being singled out
due to their Muslim appearance and name," said staff lawyer Sana Hassan.
Another similar incident occurred this week in Miami. Two Muslim-American
women were prevented from boarding an American Airlines plane flying to
Washington after a flight attendant said that overhearing them talking with
other passengers about the lack of customer care on the flight made him
uncomfortable.
Niala Khalil, a Voice of America journalist, wrote about the ordeal on her
Facebook page Wednesday, where she described how they were met by armed air
marshals and Miami-Dade police officers.
When their flight was delayed, passengers were given only water and
pretzels
over the course of five hours, prompting a white male passenger behind the
two women to start a conversation with them about the poor service.
"Suddenly, a male flight attendant walking by singled out my friend and
stated, 'If you have a problem, you can get off the plane.' My friend
replied, 'I have no problem - I am simply stating facts. We were given one
glass of water in five hours,'" Khalil wrote. "The attendant responded by
once again threatening my friend, 'Well, I can have you removed for
instigating other passengers."
Shortly after, the women were told they were being removed because the male
flight attendant "felt threatened," Khalil wrote.
"However, the white male passenger my friend was speaking to was ironically
not removed from the plane with us," she described.
An American Airlines spokeswoman, Alexis Aran Coello, said Friday that the
women were actually removed because of the company's "noncompliance"
policy,
which was related to the women taking a picture of the flight attendant,
which they had deleted once they were told to.
After Khalil tweeted about the incident, people used the hashtag
#flyingwhilemuslim to share their own stories of discrimination while
travelling by planes.
