This is an anonymous account on the internet so we have no way of knowing if it’s true, but then again we have no way of knowing if Tahera Ahmad’s account is true either. And this version has a lot of details missing from Ahmad’s story.
Tahera Ahmad, who is linked to assorted Muslim Brotherhood pressure groups like CAIR and ISNA, claimed that the flight attendant denied her an unopened Diet Coke and gave her an opened Diet Coke instead.
She cried discrimination, pointing to another passenger who had gotten an unopened beer and the supposed statement by the flight attendant that an unopened can could be used as a weapon. (While that sounds silly, a Chinese airline did experience a Muslim terror attack involving explosive liquid injected into soda cans, so the TSA isn’t food of soda cans.)
It was a silly and petty complaint by a silly and petty person that the media swarmed around because Ahmad and her Islamist allies on Twitter spread it around with a hashtag #IslamophobiaisReal and then #UnitedforTahera . More stories were done about Tahera Ahmad’s Diet Coke ordeal than about the thousands of UK girls raped by Muslims.
But critics early on questioned Tahera Ahmad’s tall coke tale.
Many pointed out that they were denied full cans despite not being Muslim. Others pointed out that airlines cut costs by pouring soda cans into a cup to be able to use one can for more than one person. #Airlinebudgetcutsarereal.
And still others noted that none of Ahmad’s fellow passengers had come forward to corroborate her story. Now someone who claims to have been there has come forward.
I was actually on this flight on Friday evening from ORD to DCA. I have been a reader of this forum for a long time but seeing this all over the news made me sign up so I could tell you what really happened here and hopefully stop this liar in her tracks. I was sitting close enough to her to hear everything that was said.Now there are some specific details here. Namely the seating position of Tahera Ahmad, I’m not sure if that has been made public before, and details of what she ordered.The flight attendant came up to the lady (I believe she even took her order first in the entire cabin as she was seated in the bulkhead 7d) and took her order.
She ordered a coke zero and a hot green tea with a Splenda. The flight attendant handed her a full diet coke with a cup on top and then told her that the green tea would take a few minutes and she would get it to her ASAP.
The lady said very rudely and condescending to the FA that she ordered a coke zero and basically pushed the soda back to the flight attendant. The FA said she was sorry and attempted to find a coke zero for her (which she did not have many of) and told her that she could only give her a portion of the can not the full can.
This is when the lady in question started to freak out and told the FA “What do you think I will use this as a weapon?! Why can’t I have the whole can? I think you are discriminating against me. I need your name….” The lady just kept yelling to her “I need your name… I am being discriminated against.”
This is when a few passengers told her to calm down and one guy told her to “shut her mouth and she is being ridiculous over a can of coke”. No one ever said anything anti-Muslim to her at all.
She was the one who started screaming discrimination when she did not get what she wanted. The FA asked her numerous times if she would like anything else when the lady just basically pushed her away with a hand in her face. The lady then got onto her phone with her credit card and paid for the internet so she could start spinning this story on social media and she was never in tears. This person is a liar plain and simple and is just pulling the discrimination card.
Diet Coke wasn’t the issue. Coke Zero was. As had been suggested by others, the flight attendant was using a cup to be able to provide a drink to more than one person.
The most plausible part of this is Ahmad being the one to introduce the claim that it could be used as a weapon. It sounds far more plausible than Ahmad’s version of how it happened.
And the “I’m being discriminated against” yelling dovetails with how Tahera Ahmad has acted since. Further suspicions are raised by Ahmad’s dubious claim that the pilot apologized to her for his white privilege and her deletion of sections of her account.
So an already ridiculous story becomes dumber. The only thing more ridiculous than Tahera Ahmad throwing a tantrum over a Diet Coke would be that she made the whole thing up.
Seriously, who cries over a can if Coke. Total BS.
She was being pretty “tacky-ya?”
So a random post by someone anonymous on the internet makes it all lies?
I am honestly skeptical of the whole thing, especially a post that comes out a week after the incident with no name attached
As true as...Hands up don’t shoot
A muslim.
Don’t KNOW if it is all lies, but I certainly have had flight attendants offer me a cup instead of a can of soda, and I’m an old fat white guy Baptist.
Should I claim discrimination against Baptists?
“Whaaaaa!!!!!! Do you think I will baptize someone by immersion if you give me a full diet coke? Whaaaaaa!!!!” And of course, no one in the media would give a rat’s rear if a Baptist was upset.
And yet she will ruin the flight attendant’s life
And, the flight attendant has been FIRED!
Heh, PERFECT!
The details offered makes the account very plausible.
I believe his account over hers.
It’s been ten years since I’ve flown, and I don’t recall ever being given anything but a cup - NEVER a full can. I think it’s been standard practice for a long time.
A muslim.
Don't forget Anita (Mann) Hill
It depends on their supplies. I used to travel across country several times a month for work. If they were low on something, I would get a cup instead of a full can. I’ve also had it on foreign airlines crossing the ocean.
The details can easily be made up.
No name attached. Nobody to scrutinize. It could be a random Joe who is sitting in his underwear in Russia
It's gotta be true if it's on the internet.
She is a muckin' fuslim, and should be treated as such. With overt suspicion and great caution, lest she go "BOOM"!.
