Southwest Airlines has become the target of repeated complaints and lawsuits over its counter-terrorism policies from designated terrorist group CAIR – such as the latest one filed today with the U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings against Southwest for ‘racial’ (What ‘race’ is Islam?) and religious profiling of a Muslim.
CNN On April 6, 2016, Khairuldeen Makhzoomi, a college student at the University of California, Berkeley, was removed from Southwest Airlines after another passenger overhead him speaking Arabic on the phone. Makhzoomi was taken off Flight 4620 from Los Angeles International Airport to Oakland International Airport after making a brief call to his uncle in Iraq and concluding the call with a common Islamic phrase in Arabic, “inshallah,” meaning “God willing.”
The Muslim thought the woman might have been concerned with how loudly he spoke on the phone. He saw her abruptly leave the plane. And suddenly, the situation turned.”One guy came with police officers within two minutes — I can’t believe how fast they were — and told me to get off the plane,” he said.
Southwest declined to provide details about the incident but said “Prior to the departure of Flight 4620, our crew made the decision to investigate a report of potentially threatening comments overheard onboard our aircraft
Now he’s pushing for an apology from the airline and spreading the word about what happened, which he calls a clear case of ‘Islamophobia.’ (Because who would be frightened of a Muslim on a plane shouting in Arabic right before takeoff?)
On Sept 3, 2015, six Muslim supremacist thugs caused Southwest Airlines to divert a San Diego-Chicago flight to Amarillo, where the gang of six Muslims was taken off the plane and subsequently arrested and charged with “interference with a flight crew and abetting.”
Dallas News FBI special agent T. Scott Hendricks has filed an affidavit explaining why Southwest Airlines diverted a San Diego-Chicago flight to Amarillo late Monday and booted six passengers off the flight. The Muslim passengers –Khalid Yohana, 19; Wasim Imad Shaker, 23; Essa Solaqa, 20; Ghazwan Assad Shaba, 21; Jonathan Khalid Petras, 20; and Saiman Hermez, 19– were aggressive and refusing orders from the flight attendants, challenging their authority, using obscene language and being nasty to other passengers.
The flight attendant “asked them to quiet down and they responded, ‘We can be as loud as we want and do whatever the [expletive] we want on here. You can’t make us listen.’” When the flight attendant “said they couldn’t do that, they lunged forward in their seats and said, ‘We can do whatever we want on here.’”
That flight attendant denied their request for alcohol. They “became aggressive by lunging forward” at the flight attendant, who “stated she felt threatened and that they were escalating their aggressive behavior.” “They accused the attendants of being racist” and called the second flight attendant a “pig” as she walked away.
Due to the increase in their non-compliant and unpredictable behavior,” one flight attendant “felt uncomfortable and saw that they were attempting to incite other passengers to join in their non-compliant behavior.” A flight attendant asked the pilots to divert the aircraft. “The flight crew determined a level one threat existed and instituted an emergency lockdown. The pilots diverted the aircraft for the safety of the flight crew and passengers.” The airplane landed at the Amarillo airport at about 10:45 p.m.
On Nov. 18, 2015, Maher Khalil and his friend Anas Ayyad were stopped while attempting to board a Southwest Airlines flight to Philadelphia at Chicago’s Midway International Airport.
Daily Mail The two Palestinian men were left feeling humiliated and upset after they were briefly stopped from boarding a flight from Chicago when another traveler overheard them speak Arabic. Gate agent said not to board because passengers were afraid to fly with them.
Khalil, 29 and Ayyad, 28, called 911 to get police to help, but when they arrived, some passengers assumed it was because the officers were responding to a terrorist threat. The two men were later allowed to board. As Khalil walked to his seat at the back of the plane, some were suspicious of a white box he was carrying and asked to see what was inside, he said.
Southwest said “Safety is our primary focus, and our Employees are trained to make decisions to ensure that safety, and to safeguard the security of our Crews and Customers on every flight.”
Another Southwest flight in November 2015 headed to Los Angeles was forced to land in Kansas City because of unruly Muslim passengers.
WGN-TV FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton said Sunday that three Middle Eastern people were detained for questioning after Flight 5929 landed around 7:50 a.m. The remaining passengers were removed so police dogs could search the aircraft. Passengers then re-boarded and the flight resumed around 9:20 a.m.
Patton says the detained passengers were rebooked on later flights and no charges were filed against them. She says the flight crew had described their behavior as “unruly.” Patton said she couldn’t provide additional details about what the passengers were doing.
A Muslim woman was kicked off a Southwest Airlines plane heading to Chicago after the flight attendant did “not feel comfortable” with the passenger, Hakima Abdulle, after she tried to force the person sitting next to her to switch seats, which is not allowed.
Al-Arabiya “She suffered acute distress and anxiety as a result of this experience. She was publicly humiliated before a plane full of passengers,” the Maryland Outreach Manager at designated terrorist group CAIR, Zainab Chaudry, was quoted as saying.
Southwest Airlines issued a statement that read: “Information available, collected at the time of the event, indicates that our employees followed proper procedures in response to this customer’s actions while onboard the aircraft. Chaudry expressed her disappointment by stating that this is becoming part of “an alarming trend.” (One can only hope!)
Max says
January 18, 2017 at 9:35 pmI would fly a strictly non-Muslim airline.
Susan K says
October 6, 2016 at 2:23 pmSince most of us do not understand Arabic, it is common sense we should fear anyone speaking Arabic, either prior to boarding or onboard a flight. Most especially the keywords we so often hear before and after they attack us.
They are making our lives miserable and they gloat about it.
Emma dela Cruz says
October 7, 2016 at 1:15 pmThe woman who reported him DID speak Arabic! That’s why they paid attention to her concerns. Convenient fact left out by the mozzie sympathizers.

October 7, 2016 at 2:13 pmEmma, yes, she did, I forgot about that.
Pray Hard says
October 6, 2016 at 11:46 amIt’s good financial sense also. All of these chickensh*t lawsuits aren’t nearly as expensive as losing a plane full of passengers, including the lawsuits that would follow.
And, there’s our media, psychophants that they are, seeking leftist troof at the altar of the baghead.
Pray Hard says
October 6, 2016 at 11:39 amAt least four of the six in the photo are already terrorists.
Oh, sorry, I meant to say “death to Islam.”

October 6, 2016 at 10:58 amOf peripheral note, it’s hilarious how Dougie Hooper has comments disabled for his videos.
BareNakedIslam says
October 6, 2016 at 1:06 pmThat’s because he knows the comments would all be negative
Lincoln Applegate Hahn says
October 6, 2016 at 7:12 amI remember the good ole days …. when a drunk passenger …. might jump up one the beverage cart …. and take a “shllte” …. it wasn’t very pretty …. but, no one felt threatened ?
Shazza says
October 6, 2016 at 5:27 amCAIR always demands ‘Diversity Training’ for the unbelievers when muzzrats are offended. I’d like to know when muzzrats are going to do their diversity training because they cause offence all the time.

RealFreedomFighter says
October 6, 2016 at 12:31 amTheir westerner ridership will increase exponentially as a result of this policy.
Christine t says
October 6, 2016 at 4:15 amYip. I wouldn’t like to be on any plane with Muslims or Arabs, Id rather delay my travel and wait for another flight without one of those savages on board, better to be late than dead. Bravo to the woman and the airlines
CW Orange says
October 5, 2016 at 11:52 pmThere is a simple solution to these people. Refuse to fly with them en masse. The airlines will not be able to fly with only a couple passengers. They will be forced to kick their asses off the plane. Any one that has these problems simply leaves the plane and goes to the counter and refuses to fly with them because of fear. GIVE ME MY Money back! If they refuse go get a lawyer and sue the airline for damages of the loss of your ticket and 10,000 dollars for the loss of your time. ANY good ambulance chasing lawyer will win these cases. But airlines will learn quickly to throw them off the planes. Prepare ahead of time to have a lawyers card and get them organized to sue the airlines. Put mohaMMed on the bus…
BareNakedIslam says
October 6, 2016 at 2:26 amI have gotten to the boarding gate where there was a large group of muslims and changed my flight immediately. And I told them why I wouldn’t get on the plane.
Christine t says
October 6, 2016 at 4:19 amHehe good for you
Pray Hard says
October 6, 2016 at 11:43 amMore likely that Loretta would have TSA agents arrest you and file charges of “racism” and force you to pay a fine and or jail time, then give the moslems financial reparations for butthurt. Just watch, it’s coming.
Trump! Trump! Trump!

October 5, 2016 at 11:43 pmMale bovine defecation!! islime is neither a “race” nor a “religion.” It is a militaristic ideology of hatred, cruelty, slavery, rape, murder and death.
In the unlikely event I am ever again forced to fly commercial, I hope it is on Southwest or other with the same attitude.
I fondly remember riding a PanAm 707 flying home on leave after my first tour. I hand carried a Type 56 with attached spike bayonet in a soft case. Those were the days!
ronmorgen says
October 5, 2016 at 10:01 pmI would want to forfeit my ticket anf get off if those two were on my fight.
Az gal says
October 5, 2016 at 9:26 pmIt would be great to have a non Muslim airline. No Muslim crew, no Muslim passengers. But they will still have to go thru the airports. Unless the airports went non Muslim….
Az gal says
October 5, 2016 at 9:22 pmGood for Southwest! I usually fly with them anyway, & will spread the world that they put customer safety first!
The CA Muslim student needs to quit blaming non Muslims (Islamophobia) and blame the perception of his religion on the religion (Islam) itself, or blame the Muslims who cause the violence.
The group of Muslim men were just acting like normal supremacist Muslims. They looked like thugs, acted like thugs. I hope the cops put their handcuffs on nice & tight or roughed them up in some way. So they will behave next time.
Adam says
October 5, 2016 at 8:53 pmAfter what United Airlines did supporting the 2 muslime f++kheads that didn’t want a lady sitting next to them on the flight (she probably felt the same way). I actually wondered what airlines still cater to non muslimes and their rites as human beings.
I will definitely fly Southwest in America.
Jeanne T. says
October 5, 2016 at 8:08 pmUnlike the Obama Administration, when American people see something they still say something. And by the way, I highly recommend Philip Haney’s new book, “See Something, Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad”. Every American should read it. Mr. Haney was a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security and became a whistleblower from that agency. I’ve met Phil. He is a dear man, a true and very humble servant patriot.

October 6, 2016 at 12:35 amDear Jeanne T. Thank you for the heads up!! I know how the DHS works. I have a metal hip and knee, and am a 66 year old female, who wears shorts when I have to go through the airport crap.. I can tell you I have had my pants pulled down more than once due to the Non-profile policy of DHS!! Once even having my purse almost run off with while this was going on… BTW the burkas were NEVER touched.. I think you could see my bare knee and the scar, but the “ladies” at DHS still pulled my shorts down, and reached inside my pants.. Burkas Never touched.. The DHS is not interested in protecting the innocent but only making a fuss over the fake security they practice.. Why can’t we be more like Israel and use common sense?? I even saw a very elderly man in a wheel chair pulled out of the chair and frisked very invasively in full view of everyone.. Same old crap..
Glenn Wilson says
October 5, 2016 at 7:50 pmWhen you’re wearing a Halloween costume it should be October 31st. You look like a female Inbreed Muslim Terrorist. Our Founding Fathers fought for this country, the USA is a Christian nation and America doesn’t want a pathetic ideology masquerading as a religion. A so called holy book that teaches Potty Training, give me a break. Go back to the Hell Hole you came from.

October 5, 2016 at 7:48 pmtHEY CAUSE A PROBLEM THAT THE CREW MUST DEAL WITH AND AFTERWARDS CLAIM THEY WERE VICTIMIZED AS A RESULT OF HAVING THE PROBLEM DEALT WITH WHICH THEY BEGAN FORST OFF. tHIS IS A STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE pERSON a CREATES A PROBLEM. PERSON b DEALS WITH THE PROBLEM PERSON A THEN GOES TOM PERSON C TO COMPLAIN ABOUT PERSON B THAT HAD TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM a CAUSED.
