This is the portrait of a idiot. Adam Saleh, a Muslim born in Brooklyn to Yemeni parents, was recently taken off a Delta flight.
YouTube celebrity Adam Saleh, whose prank videos have garnered him a significant online following, has accused Delta Air Lines of kicking him off flight because he spoke Arabic to his mom on the phone before takeoff.It got him taken off the plane:“I speak to my mom on the phone every flight,” Saleh told CBSN shortly after video he posted on Twitter showing his removal went viral. “She only speaks Arabic.”
According to Saleh, a woman in the seat in front of him turned around and told him he ought to speak English. Saleh said he told her he can speak whatever language he likes, and her husband responded by standing up and screaming at him.
Then about 20 people allegedly said they were uncomfortable with Saleh and his companion. The pair were approached by the captain, who Saleh said “seemed ashamed and embarassed” when he asked them to leave the plane because of the other passengers’ complaints.Saleh, who was entirely prepared to record the event, whined about his treatment. Delta Airlines has a public relations nightmare on its hands but this is an atrocious situation. It was a set-up- exactly what Saleh wanted. He has a history of pulling this crap.
The Muslim-American man who posted a video of himself being kicked off a Delta flight — allegedly for speaking to his mother in Arabic on the phone — also has a history of creating hoax videos purporting to detail anti-Muslim discrimination.He didn't come clean until The Smoking Gun nailed him, but he is still peddling the video as legitimate.Back in 2014, Adam Saleh created a video called “RACIAL PROFILING EXPERIMENT!” that quickly racked up close to two million views on YouTube. In it, Saleh purported to get in a fight with a friend in front of a police officer in Western-style clothing, and then reenacted the same fight dressed in traditional Muslim garb. Police supposedly only intervened when the men looked like Muslims.
There were some obvious clues the video was suspect (“Why are you dressed like that?” the “police officer” shouts at one point). But a handful of liberal outlets fell for the video, and even the The Council on American-Islamic Relations passed it along thinking it was legitimate.
Only after The Smoking Gun ran an exposé calling the video an “obvious hoax” did Saleh add the following to the video description: “This video is a Dramatization of previous events that occurred with us in our tradition clothing while filming in NYC.” But today, that disclaimer has been removed and the video is still being passed off as legitimate.There's more:
Known for his pranks, Saleh was recently caught out after claiming he had hidden himself into a small suitcase and illegally flew in the baggage hold from Melbourne to Sydney.However, the airline, Tigerair, was quick to address that the prank was in fact fake and in an open letter stated: "There are a few inconsistencies in your production that don't line up with reality."

They said they “felt uncomfortable.”
Why?
No reason given. Why?
American citizen is a technicality when muslims put their muslimhood ahead of being an American citizen.
If he was deliberately provoking people, he deserved what he got and then some.
I’m sick of muslims being treated with kid gloves, like some kind of protected class just cause nobody wants to offend them.

Ask them, read their report.
It's not like if someone is acting up on a plane...you can just leave and go somewhere else. It's the reason the airlines have those rules in place to begin with.
