Hijab-clad Muslim woman removed from US plane

April 17, 2016

Chicago, Apr 17: A hijab-clad Muslim woman in the US was reportedly removed from a Southwest Airlines plane after she asked for switching seats with a flight attendant saying she "did not feel comfortable" with the passenger.hijab

Hakima Abdulle, a Muslim woman from Maryland, said she was removed from the flight from Chicago to Seattle "without any credible explanation".

Abdulle said she wanted to switch seats but instead, she ended up being removed from the flight.

This was the second such incident involving the carrier this month after an Iraqi man claimed that he was removed from a Southwest Airlines plane after a fellow passenger heard him speaking in Arabic.

Zainab Chaudry, an official with the Council on American- Islamic Relations, said in a news conference that Abdulle had boarded the Seattle-bound aircraft on Wednesday when a flight attendant told her she would not be permitted to remain on board.

Airport police then escorted Abdulle, who is of Somalian descent and was wearing a hijab, to the ticket counter, where she waited several hours for a later flight, Chaudry was quoted as saying by The Baltimore Sun.

The flight attendant and Southwest employees inside the terminal were unable to provide "any reasonable explanation" for their action, Chaudry said, adding that Abdulle, who speaks little English, was reduced to tears and "suffered extreme distress and anxiety as a result of this experience."

When police asked the flight attendant at the gate if there was any reason why Abdulle had been taken off the plane, the flight attendant reportedly replied, "No" and that she did "not feel comfortable" with the passenger.

Brandy King, a spokeswoman for Southwest Airlines, was quoted as saying that the "information available, collected at the time of the event, indicates that our employees followed proper procedures in response to this customer's actions while on board the aircraft".

"We are not in the business of removing passengers from flights without reason," King said.

Abdulle's husband Abukar Fidaw said, "She was humiliated because of her religion and the way she dressed."

In a similar incident on April 6, UC Berkeley senior Khairuldeen Makhzoomi was supposed to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland. Instead, Makhzoomi was removed from Southwest Airlines flight after speaking Arabic before his flight took off, the Daily Californian reported.

Are you circumcising? Where it is in Quran. Hadith is manmade. Allah never gave quran to Muhammad. Angel gave quran to Muhammad. Angel is not almighty, limited in Power. Satan can overtake angel. Muhammad was caught by satan and the angel couldn’t stop satan delivering satanic verses. Your Allah didn’t interfere at the same time. Allah is from the 14th century. Where was allah before 14th century. Allah means in Hebrew Oak Tree. Allah means in Sanskrit Goddess. AlLat, Uzzah and Mannat three daughters of Allah Muhammad worshiped. Khayru al-makireena ! (S. 3:54; cf. 8:30) Allah is the greatest deceiver. In English translations purposely made it planner, scheduler instead of deceiver. Do Muhammad said in his own mouth I am the last prophet in the Quran. Show me from Uthman edited Quran. Do allah said worship me I am God. Allah never spoke to Muhammad in the Quran. Muhammad Hadith is the sayings of Muhammad. Muhammad was caught by the satatn and delivered satanic verses. Jesus defeated Satan, Jesus was sinless. Muhammad is a sinner asked forgiveness from Allah 70X7 times a day. Don’t follow a sinner’s Book. Jesus is truth and Light. Both the names are advocated to God Almighty. Jesus is coming again. Muhammad’s body rotted in the grave.

Dear Prem Prasad,
Sometimes when we learn from cheddi hinduism its not what hindu scriptures says.. similarly there are half baked knowledge in all community... Even if you are reading english translated QURAN.. Its ok. God helps those who look for him HONESTLY> never keep hatred. instead read QURAN to understand, GOD and his attributes ... Allah is all powerful and all knowing... He even knows what is inside your heart even if you are sitting in the DARKEST place on EARTH.. there are some lessons in the QURAN, if we use our intellect rightly... then WE have a lot in this LIFE other than hatred and Jealousy... Come prem...Look for QURAN honestly.

Please know that ALLAH created everything and he sent many prophets when people deviated and worshiped created things...JeSus pbuh was also a messenger of God. Muhammad pbuh is the final and last messenger of God...
Please check the bible where Jesus says worship me, Hindu scriptures says NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI... there is no image of GOD ... But cheddis will drag U to worship their man made Gods.. anyway QURAN says Use your intellect, Verify what quran speaks... Think and think again and accept what it says...
TRY IT PREM.

Do you still depend on Quran and Hadith which is a trash. III caliph uthman manipulated and edited it, destroying all originals. Muhammad was made to read 7 versions of the Quran and you have only one quran manipulated by the III caliph uthman. The editor of the Quran was wounded by muslims in the Mosque. He ran away to his house. He was killed in cold blood in his house. His quran was soaked in blood. 9/11 is nothing for Muslims. You killed editor of the Quran. What a sarcastic religion you are following. 110-220 and several other sects ahmadies, salafies and kulfies.

Talibans, al qaidah, al nusrah, lashkar toiba etc, etc., RSS is nothing before these Muslims beheader, killers and butchers.

I read English Quran. Muslims said you should read Arabic Quran because allah is limited to Arabic and Mecca. 5 times performing Salat turning the face to Mecca is in Arabic all over the world. Who needs this Limited allah never knowing humans other languages. Read Sanathana Dharma holy book and the holy Bible of Jesus Christ. you will shun your 110 shia and 220 sunni divide.

Prem prasad,

The media has spent a lot to keep guys like U to think the opposite way... I can suggest U to read QURAN .. U will understand every query which is having in your mind. When U feel hatred towards Muslims. Atleast check Yaar what is written in QURAN (Muslim book)...
Dont depend on cheddi media (JNU twisted issue is one)..and zionist media(9/11) ... which has taken people like you as a playboy for them by keeping the masses in FALSE msgs (There are many videos which exposes their evil works)
Understand LIFE and thank God that someone is introducing YOU to the DIVINE knowledge which will benefit in your LIFE & Life after death.... The more Hatred U keep in your heart, it is like YOU are carrying a MOUNTAIN in your back... So, honestly I suggest U to look QURAN which mentions about the LIFE & DEATH and how evil controls those who are FAR from the TRUTH.

Quran never say wear burqa, cover fully top to bottom. Hadith is man made.
She wants to switch seat. She is uncomfortable with the co-passenger.
Abdulle is from a Somalian dissent. Cover picture shows white from M.E. All deceptions.
USA is not taking excuses like France and Belgium. Good that the women is thrown out from the plane – safety first.

Divine teaching says it is better for YOU to wear your HIJAB...
People with lustful desires alwz oppose such divine teachings... forgetting that they will face their CREATOR one day. It is cos of the MERCY of ALLAH that U escape now... But he will take care of such trouble makers on its prescribed time.. Until then U enjoy your devilish acts... which will have an end and that end will be very severe .... Look how Pharoah was ruling over the people but in the end he has nothing...
QURAN speaks about the LIFE in this earth and how ALLAH bring back the LIFE after death to justify that has happened in this life.. The same way HE gave us life in the first place

Bengaluru, Jul 27: The Karnataka government on Sunday directed the Director General of Police Praveen Sood to submit a detailed report on the internal security following the United Nations' observation that international terror outfit IS was active in the state.

The UN report stated that Al-Qaeda in the Indian subcontinent, which reportedly has between 150 and 200 members from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar, was reportedly planning attacks in the region.

It also warned that there were 'significant numbers' of ISIS operatives in Karnataka and Kerala. Reacting to the UN report, Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai said the state government has taken a serious note of the report on the activities of IS in the state.

The state government is in touch with the Centre and the neighbouring states to keep a close watch on the activities of suspicious people and their supporters.

"In this context, it has been decided to strengthen the internal security of the state. The Director General of Police has been asked to submit a detailed report," Bommai said in a release.

The state is also keeping a strict vigil on all those entering Bengaluru from other states, the Minister said. He recalled that the state police had arrested several members of Al-Hind organisation in January last and Jamaat- ul-Mujahideen from Bangladesh in 2018 and 2019. He added that the National Investigation Agency is investigating the case of JMB.

Panaji, Feb 6: Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Wednesday told the Legislative Assembly that neighbouring Karnataka has diverted the Mahadayi river water, due to which its flow in the state has taken a hit.

He was speaking during a debate on the motion of thanks to Governor Satya Pal Malik for his address.

Goa and Karnataka are locked in a dispute over sharing of the Mahadayi river water. Goa is strongly opposing the Kalasa Banduri project proposed to be built by Karnataka on the river, which is aimed at providing drinking water to three north Karnataka districts by diverting the Mahadayi water into the Malaprabha river.

Speaking in the House, Sawant said that the flow of Mahadayi river has reduced due to the diversion of water by Karnataka.

"I am admitting that they (Karnataka) have diverted the water. We have brought it to the notice of the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change," he said.

The Goa government has explained to the Centre that the water which flows into the state is "not wasted".

"We have told them that the perennial flow of water is necessary for Goa's wildlife," he said.

Sawant said that his government was serious on the issue of Mahadayi.

"Mahadayi is more than a mother to me. We have not compromised anywhere on the issue. I have been associated with the Mahadayi agitation since 2000," the chief minister said.

He said the issue would be fought before the Supreme Court, where special leave petition has been filed by the state.
