'Diet Coke' Muslim Discrimination Passenger Has Ties to Radical Imams
2015-06-02
[Breitbart] A Muslim woman who claimed over the weekend--in a social media post that has since gone viral--that United Airlines discriminated against her because of her faith, has a history rife with deep connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Imams.

31-year-old Tahera Ahmad, who serves as the Muslim chaplain at Northwestern University, claimed over the weekend that she was discriminated against because a United Airlines flight attendant allegedly refused to give her a full can of unopened Diet Coke. When asked for an explanation as to why she had been refused her unopened Diet Coke, the flight attendant allegedly told her that the Coke can could be used as a "weapon on the plane," Ahmad stated in a Facebook post. After she complained, a passenger told her, "You Moslem you need to shut the f--k up," according to Ahmad's recounting of what happened on board. Ahmad's Facebook page was taken down this afternoon.

Without any evidence (but for her firsthand account) that the incident ever occurred, many in the mainstream media have taken to reporting on Ahmad's account as a case of "Islamophobia."

Islamic supremacist groups such as CAIR (Council on American-Islamic relations) have condemned United, telling Al Jazeera that they have taken an interest in filing a lawsuit on behalf of Ahmad.

Hmmm, can't disagree with this passenger. They are a whiny bunch.

#7  I doubt any passenger said "You Moslem you need to shut the f--k up." Americans are way to polite and non-confrontational and political correct. I have no doubt everyone thought it, and a few might have claimed the comment after the fact but I just don't see it being said, at least not calling out Moslems that way.

And did anyone on this board doubt she was a provocateur and not some innocent? They really aren't very good at being subtle.

#5  Dear Muslims, please never shut up!
Each time you start barking, I'm, "Yup!
Behold the opinions
Of Allah, his minions,
And rabid prophetical pup!"

Tahera Ahmad = provocateur

Hat tip to the passenger.

#3  C'mon, every Muslim has ties to radical imams -- because there are no other types of imams.

#2  ...Didn't happen. Had the conversations described actually taken place, there'd be video of it all over the place and Teh Won would be sadly shaking his head wondering why we so sorely mistreat these poor, misunderstood people.

#1  From the aisle shouts a stern Muslim man:
"Our in-flight security plan
Requires us to slaughter
Each infidel plotter
Possessing unopened Koran!"
