Muslims or at any rate Arabs routinely ignore instructions from flight attendants, etc. I was on a flight a couple of days ago where the attendant told one Arabic man that he could not change his seat to sit next to another in a particular location, but she offered them two seats together in another part of the plane. The Arabic man refused, and as soon as the flight attendant went up the aisle, he moved into the seat next to his friend (which was the seat the flight attendant told him he could not take). She was obviously intimidated, because she glanced at him but said nothing when she saw it.
Then they both simply ignored instructions to turn off their electronic devices (phones) when landing, and one was even texting. Again, the flight attendant noticed this, but she clearly didn’t want to delay the landing by taking them on.
I don’t know if they were up to something, possibly seeing how much they can get away with, or if that was just routine arrogant, rude Arab behavior.

Arabs seem to have a special reason to want to be rude to the USA. This goes beyond Frenchman rude.

A moslem refused the request of a female flight attendant? I shocked. Gee, I guess they aren't too keen on PC.

I’d say that since they declined seats together in another area of the plane, for some reason, both men wanted to sit in those particular seats. Had I witnessed the attendant’s fear and refusal to address this, I would immediately have made a HUGE stick about it until something was done and I’d have demanded to get off before that flight took off and I would have reported her INaction. But that’s just me. I’m of the opinion that we should be on hightened alert for these things...I’d rather over-react than be dead ;)
