• UC Berkeley student removed from Southwest flight after speaking Arabic on plane (Washington Post, April 18, 2016)

"after being taken off the plane, “[h]e learned the passenger thought she had heard the word ‘Shahid,’ meaning martyr, which is associated with jihad and has been associated with terrorists."

So, first one is not just because he was speaking Arabic.

• Three Muslim siblings were kicked off a plane for allegedly receiving a text in Arabic

  (Mic, August 23, 2016)

Did not happen in America, nor on an American airline, nor was it for speaking Arabic. It was based on a bogus passenger report, and the security personnel apologized for the mistake.

  2 Muslim American Women Ordered Off American Airlines Flight (New York Times, August 5, 2016)

...which had everything to do with the suppossed lack of food provided them and nothing to do with them speaking Arabic.

"After five hours on the tarmac, during which passengers were given water and pretzels, a white male passenger behind the women initiated a conversation with Ms. Khalil’s friend “about the lack of customer care,” she wrote.
“Suddenly, a male flight attendant walking by singled out my friend and stated, ‘If you have a problem, you can get off the plane.’" The airline reporting they were booted for non-compliance.

Did not happen in the US. Did not happen on a US airline. Really?

According to your own source:

But according to you, it was absolutely bigotry. Despite the fact that what was "tipped" off, was that he was a very well known Yoututbe prankster who specialized in disrupting airline flights.

Thanks for letting me know that I said it was "absolutely bigotry" (400%) despite the fact that I never made this statement.

So bottom line is don't speak Arabic on an American airline. Unless you want to freak everyone out and get thrown out of the plane.
This guy was a prankster and must have done something more than just speak Arabic.

An Arab American vlogger known for his YouTube pranks claimed he was kicked off a Delta Air Lines plane Wednesday morning because other passengers felt uncomfortable that he spoke to his mother on the phone in Arabic — an account that the airline company and at least one passenger have contradicted.

Saleh and his friend later admitted at least one of their most popular videos, showing alleged discrimination by a New York City police officer, was staged.

Is hindi allowed on american planes ?
I would try all the different languages on my flights just to see which ones get me kicked off.
What about accents while speaking english ?
Which accents are allowed ?

The USA is the most racially, ethnically, linguistically diverse countries. You will have no problems speaking any language anywhere.

 

[gambit]

Like as if it is a secret that this does not happen often in the US LOL

Look man, we are not toddlers here. It is common knowledge. Why hide the obvious?

No, we are not toddlers. But YOU are.

If it is such 'common knowledge', you should have no problems providing sources.

Yep, they are all making it up. Dem Muslims!

Weren't the above enough for you? Been sleeping again, gambit?

There is no bigger toddler on this entire forum than you. Claims to be a professional, but wouldn't fit the profile of an amateur.

LOL at these Americans. Always on the defensive. Always trying to prove something.

In the United States, the most culturally diverse country on the planet, there are over 37 million airline flights every year. Just take a wild guess at how many tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands, of those flights, with people from all over the world on them, have passengers who speak Arabic on their cell phones. You really think that's why this guy, (a well known liar and airline prankster), got kicked off?

Why else would he get kicked off?

His mom didn't know english well so he had to communicate with her in Arabic.
It wasn't everyone who was freaked out,It was some butt hurt caucasians who want to make America white again

 

[gambit]

Weren't the above enough for you? Been sleeping again, gambit?

I thought you would bring up an official airline policy that would even imply that Arab speaking customers would be removed from flight. Instead, what we have are cases of passenger paranoia, even if they are unfounded and unfair, against Arabic speakers. Like it or not, in an enclosed environment like an aircraft, the needs of the many outweighs the need of the few or the one. The crew cannot afford to have passenger tension throughout flight. Violence can lead to catastrophe.

Now...We have instances of where Muslims exploited Islamophobia to make up sympathetic stories, such as the prankster Adam Saleh recently, Muslim chaplain Tahera Ahmad was exposed to have lied about her 'soda can' event in flight, Yasmin Seweid made up a story about Trump supporters attacked her, Lafayette PD did not release the name of a Muslim woman who claimed she was attacked for her clothing and later recanted. Other countries have their own Muslim hate crimes hoaxes.

There is no bigger toddler on this entire forum than you. Claims to be a professional, but wouldn't fit the profile of an amateur.

I never asked for the title, kid.

But then again, it looks like you did not know what the title was for anyway.

LOL at these Americans. Always on the defensive. Always trying to prove something.

And look at you, always on the lookout to take cheap shots at US. Always trying to prove something.

Gee, what a shock...

"Then a blonde woman a few seats ahead told the pair to stop shouting, in which Saleh responded by telling her to shut up and enjoy her flight. So the guy [Albaher] shouts it again, pumping his fists," Ellis said. The exchange continues, as Albaher shouted louder in response to the demands. Other passengers joined in telling them to stop, and the back and forth continued for a little while."

Unfortunately, it isnt a surprise that these people make it easy and use "they hate Arabic and Islam" as a blackmail tactic to hide the amateur and childlike behavior.

 

[abc123xyx]

was he speaking too loudly to make other uncomfortable ?

Gee, what a shock...

Yelling, pumping his fist in the air and waving his arms around, telling other passengers to sit down and/or shut up, being continually disruptive even after being cautioned by cabin crew to stop...yes, those acts will most definitely get anyone from anywhere, kicked off any flight. Why was it ever surprising? It's similar to what he has done several times before, admitting that he "pranked" airlines, lied, made up situations, etc.

I'm going to save this one. Too classic.
