A Muslim woman who claimed over the weekend–in a social media post that has since gone viral–that United Airlines discriminated against her because of her faith, has a history rife with deep connections to the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Imams.
31-year-old Tahera Ahmad, who serves as the Muslim chaplain at Northwestern University, claimed over the weekend that she was discriminated against because a United Airlines flight attendant allegedly refused to give her a full can of unopened Diet Coke. When asked for an explanation as to why she had been refused her unopened Diet Coke, the flight attendant allegedly told her that the Coke can could be used as a “weapon on the plane,” Ahmad stated in a Facebook post. After she complained, a passenger told her, “You Moslem you need to shut the f—k up,” according to Ahmad’s recounting of what happened on board. Ahmad’s Facebook page was taken down this afternoon.
Without any evidence (but for her firsthand account) that the incident ever occurred, many in the mainstream media have taken to reporting on Ahmad’s account as a case of “Islamophobia.”
Islamic supremacist groups such as CAIR (Council on American-Islamic relations) have condemned United, telling Al Jazeera that they have taken an interest in filing a lawsuit on behalf of Ahmad.
Ahmad’s claims of discrimination have not been corroborated by any passengers, and United Airlines rejects that any wrongdoing or acts of discrimination occurred.
United Airlines released a statement that the flight attendant “attempted several times to accommodate Ms. Ahmad’s beverage request.” However, her post has since gone viral, with many calling for a boycott of United Airlines due to its alleged mistreatment of Ahmad.

Agreed.
Interesting.
Flew on three United Flights the last few weeks.
On every Flight I requested a Coke and every Flight Attendant asked if I wanted to keep the Can, which were all opened. I recently grew a Beard, so I guess I could be mistake for a Muzzie, even though I’m Italian. LOL
Don’t know if they have a Policy that prevents them from giving you an unopened Can on the Flight, but you can buy an Unopened Can in the Terminal before Boarding your Flight, so it would seem to be a bit far fetched.
As for this tall tale, sounds like a steaming pile of Obama.
Flying is fun!
Faith = Muzzy
Way of life = Non-hetero
Clear now?
Then no, I don’t think there’s any comparison.
That is why you simply disregard the so-called “Obamaland” and be yourself.
LOL! THat’s a diet coke I may be able to drink!
