College Student Is Removed From Flight After Speaking Arabic on Plane (NYT)
"Zahra Billoo, the executive director of the San Francisco Bay Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said there had been at least six cases of Muslims being pulled off flights so far this year. The conduct of Southwest Airlines was of particular concern, she said, after another Muslim passenger was removed from a flight in Chicago last week."

This post was deleted for the following reason: This is a super shitty thing that happens more than it should, but not clear there's more to say beyond "this is super super shitty" and posts like that often end up really badly. -- LobsterMitten
Southwest neither condones nor tolerates discrimination of any kind.
Instead, we endorse it wholeheartedly!
Southwest: If It Matters To You, It Matters To Us. Unless You're Muslim. Then, Fuck You.

Mr. Makhzoomi said he was afraid, and that the employee spoke to him “like I was an animal.”
“I said to him, ‘This is what Islamophobia got this country into,’ and that made him so angry. That is when he told me I could not go back on the plane.”
Well there's his problem right there, correctly identifying Islamophobia is a well known terrist trick.

Right, well that solves that then! Nothing happened, nothing could have happened, because it would've been against company policy.
