"I felt the hate in his voice and his raging eyes," Ahmad wrote on
Facebook while the plane was still in flight. "I can't help but cry ...
because I thought people would defend me and say something. Some people
just shook their heads in dismay."
.
After her Facebook post, people took to social media in support of Ahmad
using the #unitedfortahera hashtag. Some pledged to boycott United.
.
Suhaib Webb, a prominent Muslim American imam, tweeted, "I'm asking all of
you to let @united know that you are disgusted with this bigotry." He also
tweeted a photo of a can of Diet Coke over #unitedfortahera.

Ahmad, who has Premier frequent-flier status with United, said Saturday
that she had not heard from the airline.
.
"I'm not doing this to go after United Airlines. This is about bigotry and
racism and our country is going through a very difficult time right now.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and so many others worked so hard ..." Ahmad
said, breaking into tears.
.
"They strove so hard so that Americans would not mistreat each other on
the basis of the color of their skin or religious or ethnic background but
I guess we're still on that journey."
.
The flight attendant as well as the pilot later apologized, she said.
.
"She said she's working on her rude behavior and that the man (sitting
across the aisle) should not have said anything," Ahmad recalled.
.
Ahmad was recognized at the White House last year "as a leading Muslim
female in the United States" during Women's History Month, according to
Northwestern University. She had previously attended a Ramadan dinner
hosted by President Barack Obama.

In a national survey by the Pew Research Center in 2013, 42% of
respondents said Islam was more likely than other religions to encourage
violence among its believers. In addition, Muslim Americans are seen as
facing more discrimination than other groups, including gays and lesbians,
Hispanics, African Americans and women.
.
According to the survey, 45% of the respondents said Muslim Americans face
"a lot" of discrimination, and 28% said Muslims are subject to some
discrimination.
