Muslims Allegedly Kicked Off Delta Flight After Pilot Won’t Fly With Them on Board

Editor’s note: This post has many of the important details on what happened. We have also posted an update to this story that includes a video interview with the Memphis Muslim leaders. You can see that story here.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Two Muslim religious leaders say they were removed from a commercial airliner in Memphis on Friday and were told it was because the pilot refused to fly with them aboard.
Masudur Rahman, who is also an adjunct instructor of Arabic at the University of Memphis, said by telephone from the terminal at Memphis International Airport that he and another imam had already been allowed to board their Delta Connection flight to Charlotte, N.C., before they were asked to de-board.
Transportation Security Administration spokesman John Allen in Atlanta confirmed the incident and said it was not initiated by that agency.
A Delta Air Lines spokeswoman said the flight was operated by Atlantic Southeast Airlines, which is also based in Atlanta. ASA didn’t immediately respond to telephone calls seeking comment.
Rahman said he was dressed in traditional Indian clothing and his traveling companion was dressed in Arab garb, including traditional headgear.
Rahman said he and Mohamed Zaghloul, of the Islamic Association of Greater Memphis, were cleared by security agents and boarded the plane for an 8:40 a.m. departure.
The aircraft pulled away from the gate, but the pilot then announced the plane must return, Rahman said. When it did, the imams were asked to go back to the boarding gate where Rahman said they were told the pilot was refusing to accept them because some other passengers could be uncomfortable.
Rahman said Delta officials talked with the pilot for more than a half-hour, but he still refused.
The men were taken to a lounge and booked on a later flight.
They called the Council on Islamic-American Relations, a Muslim civil rights and advocacy group in Washington, D.C.
“It’s racism and bias because of our religion and appearance and because of misinformation about our religion.” Rahman said. “If they understood Islam, they wouldn’t do this.”
He said a Delta manager apologized for the pilot’s actions, but that he and Zaghloul never spoke directly with the pilot.
Ibrahim Hooper, of the Islamic-American organization, said the group will follow up with the airline and with the TSA to help ensure such incidents do not continue to occur.
Hooper said airline officials at Memphis tried to resolve the situation, but the pilot refused.

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 7:08pmYou are a racist. Muslims aren’t the enemy, Muslims were murdered in 911 as well. What kind of a person hates an entire group of people because of their religion? How can anyone tolerate this kind of hatred? Muslim terrorists hate other Muslims as well, our enemy isn’t Islam. It’s al quadia

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 7:59pm@Seon: OK. So let’s give them the benefit of doubt again. Then where are the “tolerant muslims”? Why do I hear crickets whenever the radicals kill someone? And. when we understandably get ticked off with being targets and even say something we get CAIR there to file a suit. If CAIR would do their job and drop the lawsuits and instead do what their name implies maybe these situations would eventually go away.
I just don‘t understand how when we feel uncomfortable and say something we’re the bad guys. But it’s OK for them to kill us. And it’s not just al-queda. It’s Hamas, taliban, PLO, and any of the other 100+ Muslim terrorist members of the religion of peace.

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 8:34pmSEON, you are an idiot. “Muslim” is not a race, it is a religion. Look it up. It is used to denote a person who follows Islam. Therefore, labeling a person as being racist against Muslims is a non-statement. Before you call people racist, know what you are speaking of. In addition, he spoke of Muslim-enemies, which does not include all Muslims. This would be those who are our enemies because they want to “war with the infidel.” Eat-More-Bacon-USA did not call ALL Muslims enemies, so stop your whining. By the way, the enemy is anyone who interprets the Koran literally, and want’s to force Islam on all others. This is not hatred it is reality.

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 8:41pm@SEON – I am sorry that you are offended by the truth, but here is a little more truth for you: “islam” is not a “religion”, it is a terrorist organization, and “muslim” is not a race, it is the designation for members/employees of “islam”. And, for your information, it is spelled Al-Qaeda, not “al quadia”. I will pray for you, you seem to very naive and uninformed.

The key here is what the two Imams were whining about. Boo hoo…, it is racism. Boo hoo…, it is because of the way we look. Boo hoo..,it is because of the way we were dressed. Let’s call Ibrahim Hooper the vile member of evil CAIR. He will help us!
I have news for them. Their story stinks to the heavens and Hooper ain’t no Superman.
This is the “PEACEFUL” Jihad in action.
They deliberately use the tactics of our very own Civil Rights movement. They have studied the tactics of the great Dr. King. The problem for them is that Dr. King had a legitimate beef. The muslims do NOT! There cries of racism and Islamophobia are orchestrated and FALSE!
I hope they fail. I hope that the Idiot P.C. left does not prevail!
My money is on the good judgement of the Pilot. I hope that he is not crucified for his decision.
If the Imams and Ibrahim Hooper win we are ALL Dhimmis of the first order and deserve our fate!

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 6:19pmSo, Delta Pilots can’t deny muslims to fly on their airline, but Taxi Cabs that are driven by muslims can pick and choose who they want to give rides to? Hmmmm just saying, wasn’t there something back last year about muslims refusing to pick up dogs, and give rides to people who had been drinking? Is that not the same thing as what this pilot did? I have to believe there is more to the story!

As long as Muslims have the attitude that they are not responsible for their brothers and as long as they subcribe to the notion that the Koran allows for Muslims to be “deceptive” and finally as long as they keep trying to expand beyond their borders with out defferance to assimulation then its okay to refuse the fare especially considering it was “MUSLIMS” who hijacked and killed over 3000 people on 9/11. Oh, and for those of you who would say I’m racist this goes for anyone who enters our country illegally, or otherwise and who are not willing to become like minded with other Americans.

What does a terrorist look like, exactly? Does Timothy McVeigh fit your description? He carried out the 2nd largest terrorist attack on US soil. You should check out the FBI’s terrorism statistics. Muslims have made a small % of the terrorist attacks/attempts since 9/11/2001.

Furthermore, with as porous as our borders are, do you honestly believe that Homeland Security has kept us from having another 9/11? Really? Honest? I don’t think so!

Islam is an abrahamic religion, thats right, they were the same group as the christians and jews up until they split off. We all believe in the same god, and all have the same values. But of course that does not allow you to be a hateful bigot, so you ignore that fact.

Actually, you people are the ones who stand behind those who say women are born to be slaves, just because they are women. So I guess the above comparison would apply to you, rather than to us.

Jesus says pray for your enemy, witness to him, and treat all how you wanted to be treated! Stand in truth, not lies! The Bible doesn’t say kill those who disagree with you!

you enemy is still your enemy.. if your enemy greets you with a sword, do you present your other cheek for a target?

Let’s get history right and leave race out as you say…
Catholics shouldn’t be allowed as how many did they kill during the dark ages?
Protestants shouldn’t be allowed as they passed laws to kill Mormons…
So please if you believe Muslims can‘t fly for being Muslims stay consistent and say all above can’t either based on history…Other wise your just a hypocrite and spewing hate…
Would you like to go thru races the same way? I think not…
Any one telling you to kill in the name if God is a liar…You are full of hate and are the problem…You shouldn’t be allowed to fly as you speak just like a terrorist!

Posted on May 7, 2011 at 12:12pmI can’t blame the pilot. With what‘s going on now it doesn’t surprise me. I talked to a customer who is a flight attendant and she even said she was worried because she was in a 767 and times are tense right now. It’s not our fault that these guys look like terrorists. Better safe than sorry. They hate our way of life as it is. Why are they here?

Bigotry… Racism… Commonsense … Call it what you will but I will not willingly subject my wife/kids to dangerous situations. Doesn’t matter if it’s white, black, brown, purple, blue, or green. If that offends you…GET OFFENDED!!!!!!
The absence of your answer is what stood out to me. Did I guess right by assuming your superior moral compass and “non-bigoted” views allowed your wife/kids to be put on the plane with the terrorist resembling passengers? Guess you have not heard the one about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I live in a predominantly white city and stay aware of my surroundings 100% of the time. The ironic thing is I find myself looking towards white people as possible threats. Because where I live, chance are if something bad happens it’s going to be at the hands of a white person, not some black, brown, or Arab boogie man as you apparently believe. Is a white guy who profiles other whites another example of my bigotry? Danger is not limited to one color. The sooner you realize this, the better off you will be.
The only time you would let this argument slide is if it walks like conservative, talks like a conservative…It’s a bigot, racist, homophobe, misogynist.

Posted on May 7, 2011 at 9:26pm@ Idiot you thinks I am muslim. Nope, pretty sure I am christian. See unlike you, I actually understand other people’s points of view. Also I do not in anyway think that women should be slaves. K thnx bai.
@ People who compare people dressed inapropiately to people who dress in modest clothes. One person is dressing inapropiately, the other is dressing as their religion dictates. I fail to see how those two are even close to similar.
@ People are are nitpicking the word ‘racism’ you would care less if these guys are atheist. You see that they are middle eastern and your bigotry takes over.
@ All christians. Christ commanded us to love everyone. Do not let hate take over your hearts, otherwise you are no better than the extreamists that have infiltrated Islam. Remember, God loves ALL of his children, not just the white christian ones.

You keep talking about people who “look like terrorists” Let me ask you, what does a terrorist look like? There are Russian terrorists. So does that mean Russians can’t fly either? The Mob is kind of a terrorist organization, so all Italians shouldn’t fly either? Hell the Irish have committed some acts of Terror themselves, best keep them off. Oh and since the Drug cartels are Hispanic, so better keep them out of our planes too. Bill Ayers is def a terrorist. So no white people allowed. Van Jones is too, so no blacks either. The Bali bombings were done by Asians.
So according to you, we should not allow people that look like Terrorists on our planes. That rules out everyone except……… No wait, that rules out everyone. You know, Glenn is always saying think Logically, do your homework, use Critical Thinking. But it appears that all you guys do is babble like incoherent morons spewing hate out of the gaping hole you call your mouth.
I find it ironic how you all claim to be for a stronger republic, but Racial and Religious discremenation like what you are exhibiting will do nothing but harm our republic. We need to be based off of rule of law, and the law says we cannot discriminate against someone because of their Race or Religion. We can not judge a man, for something he did not do. For if we do, then there is no law, and without law we are not a republic, we become what the founders feared, a democracy.

Ahh yes, they were Imams, which mean they MUST preach hate against america. Just like all priests rape little boys! Golly, it seams like ALL religious leaders are horrible fiends sent here from Satan and we should just kick them all out of our country! I really like your thinking there Lucy, somebody elect her to a public office and quick! She will surely fix all of our problem!
The way you guys are acting you would think that America was a Democracy, not a Republic. You see, you are all under mob mentality. Forget the law you say, we don’t like Muslims so we want them out of our country! You are all quickly becoming what the founding fathers feared, and are ushering in the fall of our Republic.

Report Post »And just because there is an opposition to it does not mean it’s hatred. Maybe for some, yes. For others, it’s simple mathematics. I personally have not seen or heard a single Muslim stand up and denounce Islamic terrorism against the West or Israel. That, according to my calcuations, equals 100% Muslim to Islamic terrorist support. Until I see American Muslims speak out, those numbers cannot change.

This is a simple matter of cowardice, and the people who have called for all muslims to be kicked out of our country, show that terrorism has won. We are now afraid and for that we are weak.
