US AIRWAYS accused of ‘racial’ profiling for pulling a group of Muslim students off plane because of ‘security concerns’

Tell me again, what ‘race’ is Islam? Please send an email to US Airways and thank them for taking every precaution to keep Americans safe in the skies.

Daily Mail Students from the United Arab Emirates were taken off a Thanksgiving Day flight and grilled by security, causing passengers to be delayed for four hours.
A U.S. Airways pilot on a flight from Charlotte to Washington requested police assistance in removing individuals from the plane because of a ‘perceived security concern’, according to airport authorities.
Police officers removed the group, questioned them extensively and rechecked their luggage before deciding they did not pose any threat at the North Carolina airport.
The students, who are from the Middle East and India, have demanded an apology from the airline and accused them of racial profiling. The group, who were heading to the capital for a conference, said they were asked where they were from, why they were headed to Washington and if they had military training or experience.
One student Hadef Al-Dhaheri told local station WJLA-TV: ‘The policeman came in and started calling our names. ‘We were told to get our bags and leave the plane. I only saw my friends being taken off. They picked certain people.’ Another student said: ‘We were so surprised. I saw only my friends, you know. There was also an Indian guy with us. We asked, ”Why all this?’ And they say there was a false alarm.”‘
U.S. Airways said in a statement: ‘Flight 1768…was delayed…out of an abundance of caution.’
In May, several Imams heading to a conference on Islamophobia in Charlotte were removed from a Delta flight. Jibril Hough, from the Islamic Center of Charlotte said: ‘We really need to think is this the image we want to portray to the world.’ (Now that you mention it, yes, we would)

Ah the poor poor little muslims,,dah there there mo,,!!! fuck of whinging you waste of space !!!!
No Apology Needed.
And please……When you go home, please feel free to tell everyone there what a pleasant time you had at the airport. With any luck it will deter them from ever wanting to take a trip here in the future.
Poor, put upon little fellas ! The nasty old airport peopld picked on them just because they were from the middle east and were of the same age group and looked like the poor misguided middle eastern murderers that killed three thousand people.
What is this world coming to ? Land Sakes ! It’s getting to the point where people are frightened just because middle eastern folks look so much like murderers !
These Muslims students have hurt my sentiments and feelings.
The airline has every right to protect the passengers, aircraft and the airline company itself, and it’s reputation in the market.
These guys have offended my believes. I feel depressed and tense on these people. They have no respect for the rules.
Should they be sued for disturbing me by their deeds ?
Manu Tripathi:
Stop! You’re killing me! lol
My sentiments exactly.
MUSLIMS CAN’T BEHAVE . They should be BANNED from America and any country that values freedom/
Taliban means “Students of Islam”. What were THESE “Students” studying? H
Send a letter of Thanks to US Airways for doing the RIGHT thing. They were going to Wahsington DC? Prob to meet with their Caliph… I remember this article very well….http://www.thepostemail.com/2010/09/03/pakistani-minister-calls-for-obama-to-become-caliph-of-muslims/
my main reaction when BO became our president? I CRIED…W T F after 9/11 how are we
electing someone with the middle name of Hussein?
There’s no need for fellow posters to be hateful, since they were unaware of our diligence for national security. My apple pie – American born & raised sister has beautiful long brown hair & the last name of Laden. She too was pulled aside for interrogation at the airport. When depositing a large settlement check into her local bank, it became of national interest & was put on hold for several weeks until it’s source was thoroughly investigated. If you’re faultless then folks should understand that it’s nothing personal, just ante to play.
Bravo Zulu American Airlines! I will recount an experience I had in Israel. I am an American living in France and the last time I visited Israel, I flew Alitalia because their price was the best. I had been staying with friends in Jerusalem and when it was time for me to return, my friend who worked at Hadasah hospital had to work the night shift and couldn’t take me to the airport in Tel Aviv, so I took the last bus from Jerusalem to Ben Gurion and spent the night at the airport. Check in time for my flight was 6 a.m. As I passed the baggage check, they asked a lot of questions like why I was an American living in France and flying on an Italian airline…etc. They asked me where I had been in Israel and how I knew Hebrew. I explained all and they asked if they could call my friend in Jerusalem. I said yes and gave them the phone number. The person came back and said the number was busy and I realized that my friend had disconected the phone so his wife who had just given birth wouldn’t be disturbed. They took me into a side room and started really going thru my luggage and all of a sudden the woman who was going thru my carry on bag wispered somthing to the others and they started putting everything back and were very appologetic. It didn’t hit me at first, but the woman had found a letter I had written to Prime Minister Shamir and his letter of response. As they tried to appologise I told them I was very happy they were doing their job and I could fly in peace and not in pieces. When is the last time you have heard of an Israeli airliner being hijacked or blown up? YES? BY ALL MEANS PROFILE! Not all muslims are terrorist, but almost all terrorist are MUSLIMS!
Dubi, Ben Gurion airport has the best security in the world. All the security personnel are IDF.I flew out of there on El Al many years ago, and they asked me at least 30 – 40 questions, then went through my carry-on luggage and took out every appliance, from clock to curling iron to hair dryer to transistor radio – until each were in many pieces, checked them out and put them all back together in no time. That was back in the late ’70s before there were more sophisticated scanning devices. I doubt I was on their watch list but I had traveled thru several countries before getting there.
All I know is, I never felt safer on a plane in my life.
They are here in the U.S. where 9/11 did happen; and was committed by Muslims. You’d think they’d understand.
If they don’t like it — they can go back to the war country they left behind where other Muslims were killing their own people.
It is always better to be SAFE than SORRY if it was not for all the nut cases such as
Anjem Choudary and many, many others like him, there would be no profiling.
Thank you US Airways for thinking about the safety of your passengers and crew.
Extra security should be carried out in the airport before anyone boards a plane,
then situations like this would not arise.
I am sure these students must have said or done something that made their fellow passengers feel ill at ease.
They may even have gotten themselves booted off the plane on purpose so that they would have grounds to bring a law suit.
That is a part of the Legal Jihad against us.
They want to make the Airlines afraid that if they do or say anything that might offend the potential terrorist that they will get sued.
U.S. Airways — worthy of the name.
Air Kafir, the safest airline in the world.
Only polytheists and the “children of apes and pigs” allowed!
For years, the Muslims in Saudi Arabia have been spending their oil-enriched billions building mosques all over the western democracies. They then preach hatred of the West in those mosques, and we have been allowing this.
Within Saudi Arabia, no churches or synagogues are allowed to be built.
The western democracies, in other words, are being doormats(a person who is the habitual object of abuse or humiliation by another). We are giving and allowing, respecting and tolerating, and the Islamic supremacists are taking, expressing intolerance, and stabbing us in the back. Being a doormat is not a successful long-term strategy.
If you don’t like the way your treated take off your fancy dress rags.Everyone has to be examined at airport, just shut up and stop calling attention to your so called persecution.You have a big mouth and a bad attitude. NO WE look at your performance at airport, and that is enough.
Traveled home yesterday. Somali ticket agent with head scarf was a bitch. Asked her if I’d done something to upset her? She was alittle embarrased and got nice. There were Muslim’s with headscarf’s on each of my flights.
If you think for a minute I wasn’t watching and listening think again. Even the slightest wrong move and I would have DEMANDED they be removed.
I was seriously thinking, why not give them their own flights? Muslim inbred, passengers only. Can’t think of a single God fearing Patriot that would demand an apologie.
KC, something like this?
What the Islamic world fails to realize is that we are through the looking glass now. Many of us, here in the West have shed the politically correct idiot goggles, along with its apologetic (suicidal) approach to all things.
We are vocally PROUD of our intolerance of Islam. It is quite simply intolerable.
The whole “tolerance and diversity” campaign was a Marxist front coming right out of left wing academia. “Accept anyone and tolerate anything” was its irrational and highly ambitious dictum. It was designed to get the West to let its enemies come in and raise hell among them and it succeeded for a while, but not anymore.
Diversity is not a strength in a vacuum, without regard to the particulars. You don’t put a wolf in with sheep – not a single one. The same goes for tolerance. You are NOT morally superior, culturally advanced or enviably sophisticated because you’ll put up with ANYTHING!
You tolerate differences that are – well, tolerable. You don’t tolerate things that are intrinsically evil or destructive. If you cook stinky food and hang your laundry out in your front yard to dry, I’ll tolerate it. If you build temples to hatred where you pray to one day reach the strength and numbers required to kill me and everyone like me – surprise! – I will NOT tolerate it.
Muslims are intolerable – period. And no apologies.
Why did the airline bother to hold up the other passengers? These guys could have found another way to get to washington.
This whole idea that people cry “racism” becuse they’re singled out is getting old. Like being hispanic, when did islam become a race?
Apology for what? They are only doing their jobs. They should NOT take offense for the airline, doing its job. Yeah I agree, we should personally thank the airlines for doing its job. Thank you for sharing.
Filthy mohammadan scum. Go back to whatever benighted third-world hell-hole you slithered out of.
Only Airline I fly, and now that is guaranteed!!!
Jabril Hough (man in the video who is apparently from Charlotte):
Why in the world would you turn your back in your country, your family, your heritage, your culture, your religion, and your people for Islam? Are you retarded? Or just plain stupid? Was your self esteem so low? Did you family not show you enough attention and love when you were little? Have you always felt powerless and unaccepted? Is Islam the only way you get any respect and have any sense of power? Those Muslims who you call your “friends and associates” are only good to you because you are aiding and abetting them – advancing their cause. It’s so sad that you feel that converting to Islam is the only way to get any respect and attention, and to feel any sense of “power” It’s sad that you are so desperate for love and acceptance that you had to do that. Are you some kind of pervert who needs 4 wives and child brides??? It seems that all of the above is true.
One of the women interviewed in the video (briefly) s right: BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!
CAIR, I hope you are reading this: ISLAM IS NOT A RACE!!!!!
PROFILE PROFILE PROFILE! I would be scared to death with all those muzzies on a plane with me, too! MY LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THEIR LITTLE FEELINGS BEING HURT OVER BEING PROFILED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
‘Nough said.
BestaNorway: don’t hold your breath.
They WILL keep coming. The islamists are sending them to promote Islam. Nothing will stop them except FORCE, which is the only language they understand. I know them. I lived with them for over 25 years. The worst time in my life.
Obviously there must have been some triggers set off to take them off the plane. There are a list of circumstances that cause the authorities to take note of certain passengers, and these young men must have met some important ones.
Booo Hoooo..Get use to it..
I think if they cannot keep these hirsute swarthy unkempt loud wild-eyed and bad mannered persons who congregate in gaggles and speak loudly in arabic tongues from boarding planes that I would travel on, then they can do without my business. You may properly conclude that I wish not to risk MY ass being blown out of the air for no better reason than your political correctness that is driven by forces in our society whom I regard as subversive “dhimmi” collaborators in the dissolution of our national security and prosperity. F**k you very much.
gee, go to Saudi creepy Arabia and if one is a non-moslem you are treated like crap. I think the only sorry should be in the form of ‘Yes, you are sorry’.
Then, bravo to US Airways, and thank you. Thank you for using your responsibility to your passengers’ safety; a known enemy acting suspiciously is a known threat; please, do not lose your nerve and always stay strong in the face of these groundless attacks by the infantile sycophantic press/media/lib ass kissing crowd which are no less our enemy than the Muslims.
And to the woman/man (ass) who said somewhere (I read this after leaving on a printout last week) who called my Infidel Warrior friend Retired Marine a racist, there is only one answer: Please, then, if Ret. Marine is a ‘racist’, then, I am too, and we should ALL BECOME RACISTS like THAT MAN, IF YOU WANT TO INVENT A NEW DEFINITION OF RACIST, we could do no better than that noble, intelligent brave fighter for freedom from tyranny than whatever Retired Marine may be called by our enemies. Right On, – and thank you, may there be many more ‘racists’ taking their positions now, like this brave and fair American citizen against brutality from islam and all tryanny. And may we never recover from that ‘racism’, if that is what brave defense of our people from evil is now called.
Profiling?! Damn right!! Racial?! HELL NO!! Once again for you stupid asslifter b*****s and the ignorant mindless liberal ****s who say they are AOK: ISLAM IS NOT A RACE!!! It (Pisslam) is NOT even a legitimate religion; it IS an evil demented ideology started by the Devil and his “prophet” in the 7th Century, a lying, theiving murderous puke bastard who is followed by a bunch of lying theiving murderous filthy stinking asslifters to this day!!! And God Bless US Airways, some REAL security being in force rather than just the PC joke called the Dept. of Homeland Security, and the TSA officers who are severely reprimanded OR terminated if they should do any non-PC profiling!!

thank’d them ! told them i did not ride the air but if i ever did it would be with them.
I love the cartoon!! AND FRANKLY really do hope that is becomes a thing of the future, because I do not want to live with these people, /Am I racist? YOU BET YOUR ASS I AM!! AND PROUD OF IT!!
Way to GO, AA Keep up the good work! Safty is sure when NO Mooselims are on board!!
Ooooo, Shea44…, I understand completely. I have continuously asked, “Why in the world did the U.S. Government continue allowing Muslims to immigrate here?!
Upaces, I used to puzzle over this issue, too, but not anymore.
It’s very obvious that our leaders are doing things to purposely destroy our country, like letting Muslims come here in huge numbers. It’s not an accident and they are not making stupid “mistakes.”
This is the fruit of Marxism. The Marxist took over our institutions and are using them to ruin the country. They jumped in the driver’s seat and they’re taking the whole bus over a cliff.
Both the Republican and Democrat parties are run my Marxists and the perceived differences are only maintained in order to maintain the illusion of choice, without which everyone in the country, both liberal and conservative would identify and rebel from one-party rule.
Of course they didn’t do anything boastful like declare the U.S. Communist Politburo has replaced Congress and the Central Committee is pulling all the strings. They leave all the name in place, but change all the functions.
And Americans are so stupid if you substitute shit for toothpaste and keep calling it toothpaste they’ll keep brushing their teeth with it. This is what happens when the Marxists take over your education systems, news and entertainment media and turn everyone into a shallow idiot who only cares about appearances. Substance is nothing anymore.
I hear self-styled Republicans unconsciously using collectivist slogans all the time. They’re just repeating what they hear. If someone tells them it’s political conservatism they believe it. I see lots of so-called conservative embracing ludicrous concepts like hate crime, never suspecting for one lucid second that hate crime is thought crime. Hate is part of freedom of conscience. If you act on it you can always be held accountable for your actions, but if it augments a criminal charge and results in an extra punishment you are being punished for a state of mind. This will, of course, become an expansive concept.
If someone calls you a n-word and punches you in the face or hands you a flower and then punches you in the face, it’s simple assault and who cares what they were thinking? Punish the act, not the motivation or state of mind. We have given so much away to the Marxist controllers in this country. And te American Gulag is on its way.
I came here from a news source saying people here were threatning to kill Muslims. But it seems like you’re a bunch of wussies who wouldn’t even last 10 seconds against a single Taliban member.
Just a bunch of kiddos let loose on the internet.
Keep on hating and spreading more lies I guess, it most certainly doesn’t help your cause. ^_^
Perseveranez:
Yeah, well you muzzie trash are a bunch of BRAINDEAD, PERVERTED, WACKO, INBRED, RETARDS who would still be living in the stone ages if it were not for the rest of the civilized world to pull you out of it!!! That’s the civilized world as in the NON-MUSLIM WORLD. You guys must be idiots if you follow a child molesting thief, murderer, and racist, and all of you follow him blindly without questioning. Now get lost.
… Well, I have to say I’ll never do business with this company. I used the link above to try to contact them to compliment them and tell them I’d be substantially more likely to do business with them in the future because of their actions.
… Couldn’t send the message. HAD TO fill out numerous information fields that had NO APPLICABILITY to my wanting to send them a simple comment. Three times in a row their system prevented me from sending the message, requiring me to put in “destination dates”, locations, etc, in the fields -EVEN THOUGH I’d checked that it wasn’t flight-related.
Eventually I called them, and that was a clusterfuck too.
If it’s possible to get ahold of them to talk to and/or send a simple email, it’s not easy.
And the hoops one must jump through to send a simple comment are beyond ridiculous.
Accordingly, they’re off my list. If they’re going to make it so difficult to contact them via a simple email, and if they lack the intelligence to not put numerous unnecessary obstacles in the path of doing so, I simply can’t have any confidence in their ability to do more complex things.
It’s a shame -but there are plenty of other options. I can’t recall ever having such a hard time trying to contact a business before.
GM, sorry about that. I didn’t realize.
Hey Keith Mahone! Let me know if you ever come to Las Vegas -I wanna buy you a beer! (Same goes for BNI and the other posters!)
GuitarMark,
I’m gonna drink that beer right now and pretend it’s from you.
And Perseveranze: I don’t know if I could hold my own against a member of the Taliban. I’ve never seen one – just a bunch of glowing dots on the screen – like a video game, only way more fun.
Sadly for them, the same backwardness that has led to the proliferation of your mosques around the world has also ensured that you will REMAIN the glowing dots and we will remain the “video game” addicts at the NSA and in the skies overhead. We don’t even NEED to touch a stinky Taliban member. They can deal with our drones.
The day we need to indulge you in your caveman sword fight we’ll pick up swords with glee, but by then I’ll figure you already destroyed civilization.
Until then, when you look up at the sky at night after making love to your favorite goat and you see that little twinkling star that moves around all the time, just realize: That’s what freedom and logic can do for you.
All bets are off the table when it comes to muslims, there are no lenths
we should go to keep this country safe from these “RACIST.” I don’t remember having an opinion about muslims either way 10 plus years ago.
After cross referencing, researching and reading about them I’ve come to
the conclusion that I now very prejudice towards muslims.
I have to tell you some of this researh was some very boring material, I
would have rather of allocated my reading time into science, nature or sports.
Hey, no worries, BNI, I’m grateful for all you do. But I felt compelled to express this frustration. Yeah, if you take a look at the online form and all the unnecessary fields you have to fill out to leave a simple comment, it’s ridiculous. I literally couldn’t do it… it wouldn’t accept multiple things I put in various fields, and wouldn’t give a clear reason why. I called ‘em and eventually got through, but it wasn’t “the right number” to leave comments, and they either couldn’t or wouldn’t patch me through; the fella I spoke to was nice enough, but after waiting a few minutes on hold for a (hopefully) working email address ([just] been there, done that), I just hung up.
It’s too bad, but in this modern age, there’s just no excuse for not having a simple option for at least either calling # and leaving a message and/or typing in a message and hitting send.
But I’m a “glass half-full” kind of guy, and I’m very happy about the info you provide here, and how it/you and your other readers/posters have enabled me to usually quickly and easily contact various businesses to announce/participate in boycotts -and thus constructively participate in responding to bad policies -congrats again to you and “us” with regards to the TLC “AAM” propaganda. Very satisfying!
BNI
had to jump through hoops but i did send an e-mail thanking US Airways for what they did.
THANKS dragon
Good job us air
Show no fear
Guitar Mark and BNI
Yes there was a bunch of silliness. So i made up a bunch of imaginary stuff like flight date departure and arrival city but i did get through. it was worth the hoops to let the airline know that they DID THE RIGHT THING.
“The group, who were heading to the capital”
Hmm.. I seem to recall reading somewhere else were a group of muslims were headed to Washington too…now when was it?…Oh yeah, Septemeber 11, 2001…and they can’t imagine WHY they were pulled off the plane?
Thanks BNI that was funny.
Obviously there must have been some triggers set off to take them off the plane.
“Take them off the plane” Therein lies the mistake!!! They should have never gotten on the plane in the first place.
BNI ~ Just sent my email to USAirways (hope everyone else commenting here did as well).
I don’t know what good it will do but we have to start speaking out against islamic domination in America.
Should have been better..if they had been totally banned to take the flight and just sent home to their country of origin…that would be safer for everybody
