Not great journalism in that I see nothing telling the flight attendant's side of the story. However, there is this snippet:

A fellow passenger then allegedly yelled, “You Muslim, you need to shut the … up,” and said that “You know you would use it as a weapon.”

So, somehow the flight attendant is responsible for the boorish behavior of another passenger?

And, of course, CAIR is investigating to see if they can turn the incident into a big pay day. And, somewhere a jihadi is thinking "Wow! I can force the airlines to provide an unopened can of soda to shake up and spray in somebody's eyes to create a diversion now."

Hard to fathom. The flight attendant could have popped the top in front of her. Still, anyone could have touched the top of the pull tab with their impure infidel fingers.

She wouldn't give the passenger a can of soda because it could be weaponized somehow. Maybe by bending it into a blade of some kind??

She wouldn't give the passenger an UNOPENED can of soda, citing airline rules about doing so.

An unopened can can be used to smash someone in the head. Like a rock.

It is an Islamic religious thing, smashing peoples heads in. They chant to Allah when they do it.

So, maybe she has a good point. A Religious discrimination issue.

Next she can go for double-or-nothing by applying for a job at Abercrombie and Fitch.

Anything to appease the perpetually outraged.

Correct, If that really is the policy and it applied to all passengers, what is issue here? If the “weapon” comment was made up out of thin air, the Flight Attendant was wrong. You can but unopened sodas inside any terminal.

If a White Christian flight attendant had strangled a White Christian passenger there would not have been such a big fuss.

What a sick demonstration of liberalism’s mayhem. The muslims are learning well from the black victimhood group. There’s racism behind every blade of grass and now apparently, as many microaggressions to offend infantile Muslims.

I’d boycott United as well but I have almost 1/2 million miles to use up first.

The Islamabitch was upset because she and wanted Coke Zero was served Diet Coke. And nobody called her a Muslim or used the F word. She is a liar.

There is a site called flyertalk. It was reported by a passenger who was there that nobody used the F word or called her a muslim. They told her to shut up and stop complaining. That was after she was trying to get people around her to agree that she was being discriminated against. She wanted a coke zero and they only had diet coke. She wanted it unopened ‘for hygiene reasons’ and was told it was company policy to serve opened sods.

Agreed. ALLEGED is more accurate.
