A YouTube star known for pranks and hoaxing says he was removed from a Delta Air Lines flight after speaking Arabic.

In a series of tweets and videos, Adam Saleh described the incident on Delta Flight 1 from London Heathrow Airport to New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport.

“We got kicked out of a @Delta airplane because I spoke Arabic to my mom on the phone and with my friend slim,” Saleh wrote. In one tweet, he called for a boycott of Delta.

Delta said two customers were removed from the flight and later rebooked “after a disturbance in the cabin resulted in more than 20 customers expressing their discomfort.”

I suspect this guy did a lot more than just "speak Arabic".

Wrap a towel around your head. Walk into the airport wearing an ordinary vest and carrying an ordinary bag.

Start yelling Allahu Akbar! while reaching into the bag.

Watch the hilarity enfold.

Ha ha.

Gee, I wonder why a ‘youtube star’ would do something like this.

Dumb stunt.

How’d that prank work out for him? As the Fraud was campaigning the immature in my office were spreading “Rick-rolled” videos; essentially squashing what should have be legitimate criticism of his murky past.

I can’t believe the number of Americans who just assume all things will just continue to be easy as this stuff multiplies. These are the snowflakes and SJW’s who made excuses for Obamacare and any of his 5,000 other lies.

What do you want to bet that there was loud shouting in Arabic, gestures, and liberal use of “kaboom”.

All of that, over a cell phone, after he had been instructed several times to put his phone in Airplane Mode.

Here’s a blurb from his wikipedia page:

A video titled “Racial Profiling Experiment’” uploaded on Saleh’s YouTube channel in October 2014 became viral around the world. In the video Saleh and Sheikh Akbar argued with each other in front of a police officer wearing western outfits but the cop ignored them. Few minutes later they fight again while dressed in Muslim clothes but this time the cop stops them and behaves rudely with them. The video received more than 200,000 views on YouTube and it was also picked up by media. Public reaction to the video was against the police officer. Later Saleh admitted that the video was a hoax.[5][6][7]”

I’m sure there is more than this. Like he was purposely acting like an a-hole to get a reaction like this.
