Forums - General Discussion - Discrimination On The Rise: Muslim Family Removed From Plane For "How they looked"

Here's a question to all the people claiming this is racism:

How would you have handled this incident differently?



Around the Network

Best to take it with a pinch of salt. This sort of thing is occasionally fabricated to push an agenda. Like ahmed and his clock. Worrying if it's true though.



Please change title, Muslims aren't a race. So it's discrimination not racism.



Muslim isn't a race, so no racism. Why is the woman doing the speaking for the family, not allowed in Islam. They got a later flight and lost no money. No person has a 'right' to fly to the US.



Ah humanity, it never fails to amaze~~

Hey! at least no one blamed religion in this case, right?

Its racism when they're targeted because how they looked, and muslim women are allowed to speak. What the hell are you even talking about?

If this happened to me I'd sue the airlines, suck them dry before the courts. It's normal in the US.

Donald Drump made a part of America very scared for brown people. Sooner or later the white people will have to face the reality that America is a multi cultural multi religious multi multi ethnic country. In a few decades the brown people will become majority in the US. The brown population in Europe will be tens of millions strong. Racists are a dying breed.

Don't look like someone who could blow up the plane then, problem solved.

To put it brutally honest: national states are currently in process of being dismantled and replaced by territories more or less directly ruled by corporations (see: TTIP). At some point in the future, if you look, talk or act suspiciously you'll be put off the plane, then you'll be put off your job, then you'll be put off your house, then your kids will be put off the school, then your bank account will be terminated, and then you'll be put to some high-security containment zone where if you lucky you'll be able to die natural death. I.e. imagine being Alison Rapp if Nintendo owned the United States. It's not about racism or prejudgement, it's when you are perceived to potentially generate more losses than profits you are to be disposed off ASAP.

What does that look like? I'm pretty sure ANYBODY can blow a plane up. How many mass shootings are committed in America by white people? You don't even need to be a person to blow a plane up, just strap the bomb to an animal and remotely detonate it (obviously impossible because of security but you get what I'm trying to say... hopefully).

Do any of you liberals even fucking read the article before calling racism? At no point did they have any evidence that it had anything to do with race.

That is the epitome of a click bait title.

I read it O_O. It said they kicked them off due to safety issues, and that previously a girl was denied a can of diet soda because she may use it as a weapon. Thats pretty fucking racist lmao.

Please tell me which airlines will give you a can of soda. Please tell me how in the hell does this have ANYTHING to do with race.

Is a white person incapable of turning an empty can of soda into a weapon?  Is a black person incapabale of doing the same thing?  This is on an airlines where a can of aluminum can be turned into a deadly weapon plain and simple.

Jet Blue and United, actually.  They will give you the can.  Having flown as recently as last November for Blizzcon, I can attest to this.  The one thing I'd like to point out is, 2 examples of airline discrimination, does not necessarly indicate a 'rise' in anything.  So, a citation on the increased frequency of cases would be needed, in order for the title of this thread (and article) to be anything but clickbait garbage.

See you are the kind of person that keeps racism alive. 

A muslim family is escorted off a plane and given a different fight. Race, religion, ethnicity are never mentioned, but you post this topic crying biggotry just because the family happens to be muslim.  You then say you would sue based on this little to no imperical evidence.

My friends, neighbors, and even somewhat boss are muslim. Hell my neighbors had their fucking cars vandalized, but when I asked them if they thought it was a hate crime-  they flat out said no, it was a stupid teen and a coincidence that they are muslim. You on the other hand would probably report this to the media and call my city racist, just because of one fucking random incident.

Ps: they were right,  it ended up being coincidental.
