It Looks Like Another Islamaphobia Hoax
American Prowler ^ | 6.10.15 | Aaron Goldstein

Posted on 06/11/2015 10:24:13 AM PDT by nickcarraway

One of last week's top stories was an alleged incident aboard a United Airlines flight where a Muslim chaplain from Northwestern University named Tahera Ahmad claimed she was denied an unopened can of soda because the flight attendant told her it could be used as a weapon. Ahmad further alleged a fellow passenger made anti-Muslim statements to her. However, her claims appear not to be true.

SNIP

Why would CNN, ABC News, The Washington Post or, for that matter, Jon Stewart care about verifying Ahmad's story? Ahmad has an agenda and liberal media outlets are only too happy to take her word at face value and the facts be damned. As far as CNN, ABC News, WaPo and Jon Stewart are concerned America is a racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamaphobic country and must be brought to shame.

Rule #1: Leftists LIE.

It is their factry setting, their default condition.

To a Leftist, lying is genetic.

Maybe.

Oh well. I guess we all will have to miss out on what some blogger thinks of an old stale news story that was over weeks ago.

Too bad for you, then ... American Spectator is an awesome conservative site

My favorite is when they give a restaurant-style ‘review’ of the last meal of an executed dirtbag.

I think no more than 100% of these things haveturned out to be hoaxes over the years. Of course the revelation that it was phony doesn't always make it into the press that trumpeted the "atrocities" in the first place on the theory that it may not have been true but itshould have been true.

To the left it’s not lying. Things are necessarily true because they say they are true. To call that lying is racist homophobic islamophobic and just plain impolite.

I read in a related article that she was somehow associated with CAIR.

I wondered at the time whether she had pulled similar stunts with the intent of getting to claim discrimination or hate crime. CAIR has been trying to get that since 9/12/01.

Per some posts from other passengers, the incident was nothing like the newsies described it.

Will she face criminal or civil charges for filing false complaint? Given her “religion”, I doubt anything will happen to her.

When it’s proven that it’s a lie, the media will just drop it.

Muslim chaplain from Northwestern University named Tahera Ahmad

SHE? A Muslim chaplain? I don't think so. She is an impostor who is defiling all Muslin clergy by conducting this masquerade! This is both heretical and an insult to the Prophet!! And we all know what must happen to those who insult the Prophet of Allah.
