Arabic comedian thrown off flight

[Springal]

So just saw this on Twitter, but a US-Arabic comedian was thrown off a Delta flight due to 'more than 20 passengers feeling uncomfortable' that he was speaking to his friend in Arabic.

Slightly worrying that a minority of individuals on a flight can have someone thrown off for being uncomfortable.

Thoughts?

His lawyer will have a field day with Delta.

I feel uncomfortable when people use the incorrect form of "your / you're "

Do I have grounds for complaint?

 

[Goldstone1976]

The complainant has quite a bit of form concerning faked videos, including some involving faked anti-muslim behaviours. He describes himself as a "professional idiot".

I'm reserving judgement on this one for the moment.

More worrying is the comments from other passengers and someone sticking their middle finger up at them as they walk off the plane ! Red necks

I flew in America not long after that shoe bomber stuff. The captain really had to talk the plane around after a guy dressed in milatry fatigues that may or may not have been Arabic had made that lot 'feel unconfortable' too. He had to leave the flight.

Weird it was.

So someone who wants to limit immigration is to blame for incidents like this , which may even be a set up according to another poster on this thread , I'm not sure if you're genuinely stupid or a hysterical old woman.

Madness. But a sign of the times unfortunately, especially in the United States.

I'd chose B if I had a choice. Name calling already on page 1, you're living up to your cliche.

I hope the plane wasn't in the air at the time

You are on ignore. I just checked that post as I knew you'd bite.

Course I am what a pitifully weak answer, I've finally got YOU to bite and prove what a cowardly liar you are who has avoided answering me on several contentious issues where you knew I'd proved you wrong I was NEVER on ignore

Horrible when you realise you've dropped a bollock and look silly isn't it

How did the complainants know that the language the guy was speaking was Arabic? Seems unlikely that there were 30 odd Arabic speakers on that one flight
