‘Get to the back of the plane!’ [Woman with screaming kids claims Muslim discrimination]
news.com.au ^ | 2/5/15

Posted on 02/05/2015 5:20:33 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

DARLENE Hider had a flight experience on Monday that she’ll never forget — for all the wrong reasons....

The next thing she knew, a woman sitting in front asked her to “control her kids”.

...“I felt as if she was attacking me because she said it in such a mean way,” Hider said.

“I felt as if I wanted to defend myself but I couldn’t because of the Islamophobia going on. It’s enough that I wear a scarf. We have to prove ourselves every day to people and it gets tiring. I’m not a terrorist. I’m American. I was born and raised here.”

Sigh. This is being treated as NEWS in Miami, where the flight originated.

Notice, though, that the ENTIRE family cannot provide one word or quote that attacked them over their religion.

I would also add that none of them were beheaded.

If they’re tired of proving themselves every day, imagine how we feel watching them fail.

Why didn’t she “feel as if” she wanted to reply, “I’m doing my best. I know it’s a difficult situation; we’re just trying to get to (destination).”?

Propaganda push related to Obama’s meeting with 15 Muslims to discuss the rise of anti-Islamic sentiment.

When we take our children on an airplane, they know how to behave, so if her kids were acting up and someone asked her to control her kids, it is discrimination now. What BS.

She’s told to get to back of plane. Had she been American woman the plane would have stopped and she and her brats would have been thrown off.

Her kid was crying and some grump rudely told her to hush the kid or move to the back.

It was the kid and a grump—not her headscarf.

She needs new glasses because her current ones only read between the lines.

There are those that make it a pastime of hunting some infraction in order to prove somebody is against their religion, color or whatever.

Sometimes it is what it is and nothing more.

Could have been worse. She could have been burned alive in a cage.

Flaying back in Royal class on Jordanian Airlines multiple times...the men would always be up front in that class...also a few women...and all the WOMEN and CHILDREN - plus the lesser of the bunch of so called men were in coach...I went back there once to see why there was so much noise and to take a piss...since the first class toilets were occupied...and it was a total mess in there...they actually tried to stand up on the toilet seat and crap...urine was everywhere....kids were crawling over seats...all the while these so-called mothers sat there in their full Darth Vader outfit saying nothing....it’s not Islamophobia - it’s a culture that thinks they are so special no one can say anything to them polite or rude when it comes to how there glorious kids are acting...

I am guessing women are not allowed to discipline their boy children.

When other passengers tried to defend Hider, the employee allegedly threatened to kick them off the flight.

Her brother Abed Ayoub, a lawyer who works for The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination, told news.com.au: “It may not sound like much at first glance, being told to move from your seat, but it fits into a pattern of discrimination against Arab Americans. This happens to our community on planes ...

“These women are mothers. These women are sisters. These women are wives. They are women whose lives are going to be impacted by what you’re saying to them. You don’t have a right to treat them that way.”

Ayoub shared details of the confrontation on Twitter as it was happening, with Hider’s husband relaying what was happening.

I think I found the source of the irritation ... her brother!

I thought that people with fevers couldn't fly ... or is that from before the time of protected diseases?

“it’s not Islamophobia - it’s a culture that thinks they are so special..........”

Yup! You’ve got that figured out correctly.

I travel quite a bit in my business and, personally, I think tickets for children, and parents of children, should be triple the price of an adult traveling alone.

Boo hoo. The poor misunderstood religion of terrorism gets all bent out of shape when they are asked to do anything that resembles civility.

“Her brother Abed Ayoub, a lawyer who works for The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination . . . “

This explains the whole story. Another muzzie looking for a pay out and another case of “islamaphobia” to report.
