Muslim family kicked off United Airlines flight for how they looked'

April 2, 2016

New York, Apr 2: A United Airlines pilot asked a Muslim family of five to leave a plane before it took off, citing "safety" issues.

Eaman-Amy Saad Shebley, her husband and three young children were about to take off on a flight bound for Washington at a Chicago airport when the pilot asked them to get off the aircraft.

plane The family had enquired earlier whether the air stewardess could provide five-point harness safety seats for their children.

Two videos filmed by Shebley show the air stewardess and then the pilot asking the family to leave.

Ms Shebley asked the pilot whether it was a "discriminatory" decision. The pilot replied it was a "flight safety issue" but were not given any details.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations sent a letter to United Airlines on the family's behalf demanding disciplinary action against the staff involved.

"We are tired of Muslim-looking passengers being removed from flights for the flimsiest reasons, under a cryptic claim of 'security'," said CAIR-Chicago executive director Ahmed Rehab said in a statement. "Security means securing passengers, not harassing and humiliating them and booting them off their flight for, of all things, actually asking for security."

Shebley wrote on Facebook: "Shame on you ?#?unitedAirlines? for profiling my family and me for no reason other than how we look and kicking us off the plane for "safety flight issues" on our flight to DC for the kids spring break. My three kids are too young to have experienced this."

Another Muslim woman and a Northwestern University chaplain, Tagera Ahmad, was denied a can of diet coke onboard a United Airlines flight in May as the flight attendant said she "may use it as a weapon".

The airline apologised multiple times to Shebley's family after they got off the plane and were rebooked on another flight.

In a statement to BuzzFeed News, United Airlines said the family was rebooked "on a later flight because of concerns about their child's safety seat, which did not comply with federal safety regulations" and said the airline has "zero tolerance for discrimination".

Guyz take it positively. I mean think of it - we Muslims didn't do anything wrong, they accused us of terrorism, they set up the stage to create fear of Islam and it falls back on its own people - they fear us for nothing..!!

There was another news about the same United Airlines that a Man wanted to do Yoga (?) on flight, and threatened to kill passengers if not allowed.
Dear Muslims, please understand
#YOGA HAS NO TERRORISM ..!
#Not All YOGIs are Terrorists, But All Terrorists are SANGHIS..\

Ouch..that hurts :-P"

# 8 JOHN...

Please Read BIBLE...dear
1 Corinthians 11:5-6
-----------------------------
But every Wife who prays or prophesies with her HEAD UNcovered DISHONORS her HEAD, Since it is the same as if Her HEAD were SHAVEN. For if a Wife will not cover her HEAD, then she should cut HER HAIR SHORT. But since it is DISGRACEFUL for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, LET HER COVER HER HEAD.

Dear Ram,
This is called MEDIA mind wash... and U r a victim of it...
Many times cheddis were caught doing the same act which was blamed by the authorities who control the media. Many people like you are fooled to believe what is said in the Media.
When people like U, doesnt think and follow blindly what is said in the MEDIA .... it shows how your thinking lies..

Dear Suman,

Don't be afraid of MUSLIM, but afraid of GOD(ALLAH)...who created you & me..

Dear So called RAM ........if your RAM would live ...he would cruch united Airlines company in Bin...its people like you who follow Trum with saffron Trumpet..................who polluted RAM's name

We Muslims expect this ... cos the World all over are ignorant of the TRUTH and the GOD that created us and all.
The only thing they believe is what is said in the media...
Dear Mankind ...
ALLAH says in QURAN that he is the LORD of the heavens and the EArth which U are living...
QURAN : READ it, verify it and REsEARCH it...
When U believe the MEDIA why cant U look at what Our CREATOR says in the QURAN...JUST LOOK and try to understand what YOUr and my CREATOR says to US.
Believe only after U read it.. We are not asking you to believe just like what MEDIA does to U guys which forces U to believe what is said in IT.
ALLAH says mankind is the intelligent CREATION of his creation... It will be PROVED when we look WHO is our LORD... it is better to look once to QURAN rather than stay like animals without looking what our CREATOR says.

Extend covid-19 lockdown till the end of Ramadan in Dakshina Kannada: Islamic scholar appeals district admin

coastaldigest.com news network

May 2,2020

Mangaluru, May 2: Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal, a prominent Muslim religeous leader in coastal Karnataka has urged the Dakshina Kannada district administration not to end the covid-19 lockdown before the end of the blessed month of Ramadan.

The appeal comes in the wake of reports that the state government may allow opening of clothe shops during the month of Ramadan to felicitate Muslims for Eid shopping.

"Muslims in the district have completely cooperated with the district administration in making the lockdown sucessfull. They have refrained from going to mosque even for Juma and Taraveeh during Ramadan. Such a lockdown is necessary to contain the pandemic," said Musliyar, who is also the Khazi of Udupi and Chikkamagaluru.

If the district administration withdraws lockdwon or relaxes it, people in large numbers may storm cloth shops wherein it physical distancing will be difficult, Musliyar warned.

He said that Muslims in the region have decided to observe Eid ul Fitr, a festival which marks the end of the blessed month, in a simple way maintaining physical distance. Hence the lockdown should be relaxed only after the festival, he suggested.

Karnataka BJP urges Modi govt to ban PFI, SDPI

News Network

January 29,2020

Bengaluru, Jan 29: The Karnataka unit of BJP has urged the Centre and the State governments to ban the Popular Front of India (PFI) and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), accusing them of harbouring terrorist tendencies.

Addressing a press meet, N Ravi Kumar, state general secretary of the party, alleged that there was a nexus between the Congress, the PFI and the SDPI.

“Recent reports have exposed the links between the PFI and the Congress,” he said, accusing Congress leader Kapil Sibal of receiving huge funds from PFI to defend their cases in the Supreme Court.

He also accused the organisations as the ones responsible for the death of 23 Hindu activists in Karnataka. Such incidents have proven that both SDPI and PFI are dubious organisations, he said.

Comments

PFI is the first kind of organization which is doing community work in all the walks of life.

and providing the helping hands to all the Indian community doing marvelous job.

this is the first organization fighting against corrupt and injustice following the principle of our father of nation mahatma Gandhi’s.

the corrupt and injustice people in the society not ready to accept their policy and trying to stop the voices of justice to the society.

I wish PFI and its sub organizations will continue to support to the society and keep the good work so that people are with you.

Wah what a joke.

RSS is blamming others as terrorists.

Constitutionof RSS is a terrorism. Stupid Hegevar and Savarkar are the heroes of illiterate stupid community.

The whole intelligent community including European Uniion and US openly declared.

This is the sure end and downfall of RSS, which will never come-up again. You woke-up of peace lovers.

Thank you.

You people are never fit to run even a small village and how come thinking of ruling a big country.

RSS is the most active and first ever terrorist organisation in India and it should be banned first. There is no proof of terrorist activities by SDPI and PFI. BJP is afraid of these organisations as they give tought resistance to BJP and this is the reason why its planning to ban these organisations. BJP is doing propoganda only. Real thread for peace + harmoney in India by sanghis. We should ban them first.
