[Original title too long: What the media didn’t tell you about Arabic-speaking Muslim student who got kicked off Southwest Airlines]
The mainstream media went ballistic after learning that an Iraqi student was removed from a flight after an alleged ‘Islamophobic’ woman reported him because she heard him speaking Arabic. Left wing pundits and Muslim advocacy groups demanded to know why “speaking Arabic” is a reason to remove someone from a plane and were calling for boycotts of Southwest Airlines.
What the media conveniently left out is that the (see-something-say-something) woman is a native Arabic speaker and said he was talking about terror group ISIS.
The media were in a tizzy after Khairuldeen Makhzoomi, a 26-year-old student at the University of California, Berkeley, said he was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight for speaking in Arabic during a phone conversation with his uncle prior to takeoff.
Makhzoomi told the Post that he called his uncle, who lives in Baghdad, after boarding a Southwest Airlines flight in Los Angeles earlier this month. He says the two had a conversation in Arabic about an event Makhzoomi attended the night before.
Makhzoomi says he received strange looks from a woman who then got up and he believes reported him to the flight crew. The next thing he knew, Makhzoomi says he was escorted off the plane and eventually taken into an interrogation room where he was questioned by the FBI before ultimately being released.
Well, on Tueday, on Happening Now on Fox News, guest host Heather Nauert provided some important additional details about the story that somehow did not make it into the Washington Post profile on Monday.
According to the Happening Now report, the woman who allegedly reported Makhzoomi to the airline crew was actually an Arabic speaker herself. This woman reportedly said that she overheard Makhzoomi mention ISIS and possibly another terror group during his phone conversation and that is why she alerted the airline crew.
Perhaps that explains why Makhzoomi has reportedly turned down offers from multiple lawyers to file a lawsuit against the airline. For the record, both lawyers who appeared in the legal segment on Happening Now where this report was discussed both agreed that under these circumstances, Makhzoomi likely does not have a valid claim against the airline.
Speaking Arabic can be a problem when someone understands the language you are using and tge savagery you are promoting. Especially on an airplane. Islamic idiot. And who knows what else he is up to?
TURNING NIGHT INTO DAY.
Good God, what dishonesty.
Makhzoomi knows there is the discovery process in American jurisprudence which could make for a very messy trial for him & his ISIS cohorts.
No wonder he refuses legal counsel.
That would be you, that would not be me .
brillant cause it is timely, well,an brilliant
What I noticed was this guy is 26 years old and still a senior at college.
How many people this age are still in school?
Why does he not have a real job by now?
Could be he is a permanent student?
Well, Jews and Christians won’t chop off your head for something you said.
Takes years to learn to build those Islamclocks.
if i was younger i would do an arabic rosetta. i just did french when i was younger
I try the case. Just give a jury that watched 9/11
We can almost guarantee this will not be the last time we hear his name.

Gee, I am torn...Should I learn Spanish or Arabic Eh probs Arabic tho I have heard it is hard to learn!! Feel like more American’s should—I often wonder what is being said around me.
I learned French—started in 6th grade and even took it all through college~great for picking wines and perfumes or discussing haute couture ;)
The French don’t pose much of a threat to us, so their conversations would not be threatening.
It was really fortunate the woman understood Arabic! In spite of the media circus,hopefully FBI is watching this guy!
He’s probably already “in the FBIs’ RADAR, but they are waiting for him to kill some folks before they decide he’s a threat...
They don’t need a “manufactured crisis.” They just need to wait to get past the next election. Their side controls the vote count and the vote itself to a large extent and there won’t be a hell of a lot of difference if the Republican were to win the election, anyway. I expect a Democrat sweep of Congress and the presidency and the Presidency which will make the USSC into a Communist organ as soon as that leftist new justice is seated. The coup will then be complete, no crisis needed. The ând Amendment will be totally irrelevant as will the rest of the Constitution. If 49 States call for a Constitutiojnal Convention it will be prevented politically and, if necessary, paramilitarily by the alternate army that is already in existence.
