So how many did Hitler murder???

Or any number of Wars the USA has been involved in directly and indirectly???? 

It pales into insignificance what the Muslim world has done. What about right now in America where white police regularly Kill a black person? 

Don't write shite. The USA and the West are the cause of the conflicts in the middle east. The USA is the only country to commit genocide on a mass scale. Fancy being preached by hypocrites. Remember dropping Hydrogen bombs on 2 Japanese cities??? 

That's insane, things are getting really out of hand with xenophobia all over the world, that goes for most anyone. The fact that the airline has refused to counter the story with their own version speaks volumes, if they were innocent of the passenger in question had actually been a security threat; they'd be all over this, no one wants bad press based on false accusations (or any bad press for that matter).

while the genocide of native americans was an absolute atrocity, I think at least Germany's well documented genocide of Jews does count as a "massive scale" aswell

and the bombs used on Japan weren't "hydrogen bombs", they were uranium bombs which used nuclear fission energy to generate it's explosive power - "hydrogen bombs" use fission energy to start a nuclear fusion which generates a much much higher explosive power

Off topic ,I know, but can I just say, that I sort of love you for that? Lots of people don't even think about how women feel going somewhere alone at night. Be it a large empty street or a tiny forest path, and even fewer would have reconized her fear and slowed down for her.

Of course it's unfair. It's an irrational fear. As a woman, (or child for that matter) you're much more likely to be raped by someone you trusted. A friend, acquaintance or family member. But that's not the ones they are the most afraid of. They are afraid to be part of the rather small percentage that gets snatched somewhere and raped (or worse things) by a stranger.

On topic, this is just really really shit. It's also one of those things I couldn't imagine happening on a european flight (it probably did, I just have a hard time imagining shit like that). Our Arab community is way too large for someone to get worried over somebody just using the Arab language.

I get that the Airport had to respond to a 'security concern' but it's made even more disgraceful by the airlines subsequent refusal to even let him board on of their flights at all. In their place I'd have apologized for the hassle and lost time and upgraded him to first class free of charge on the next flight. THAT'S how you do customer service right.

Aye Trump logic will be to build a 200ft wall around all airports to keep the terrorists out.

You know, sadly enough this will probably spread on social media and some people will read it as "Airline doesn't allow terrorists fly on it" and end up boosting ticket sales of trump fans.

That said though I find it strange that when the security guard asked him about another word that he knew exactly what had been misunderstood as a bad phrase, it read to me like when you tried to slyly say something in class during a rabble session and if the teacher called you out you would claim to have been saying the word "Punt" because you love to punt the ball at break time!!!! honest, maybe I'm just reading into it. Weird story though.

Not long before it becomes trendy for people to speak arabic & dress up, and look dangerous and spook airlines and then sue for millions.

If he wins this case you ll see it happend.

If the airline kicked him off the plane for speaking Arabic they was completely wrong and should be sued. That being said there the possibility that the woman that reported him was xenophobia but not the airline.

If what the woman reported to the police was not that he was speaking Arabic but instead there a man on the phone making threatening statements and acting suspicious then they have a duty to take it serious and investigate whether the statements are true. Unfortunately the reality is that no airline going to delay a flight while the investigating going on.

I think it likely any body, regardless of how they look would be ask to step off the plane if someone reported them to the police as making threatening statements and acting suspicious while they investigated the truth of those statements.

In this day age, when someone reports something to the police at a airline they going to take it seriously.

Here's a bit more info on this.

We do know incredible leeway that Airline and airport security are given to charge people. You can be charged with disruptive or simply delaying the airplane not even including doing or saying threatening things on an airplane. We know this bilingual passenger was not charged with anything. Knowing this can you give me a scenario where his treatment was "fair".
