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."

Jay birds like this should be treated with exactly the same courtesy as those who make jokes about bombs and hijackings.
Put him on the no-fly list.
Go Delta!
I don’t understand how it matters if what he wanted was to be kicked off the flight or not.
If all he did was speak a foreign language to his mother, and then was harassed by another passenger, and then kicked off because of that.
Just that alone should not have gotten him kicked off the plane. Whether he was hoping for that or not.
If he did more than what is reported then I agree.
But if his video is legit and he did nothing more than speak in a different language, I’m kind of on the fence here.
He is an American citizen. After all.
Attitude is everything. The guy was obviously trying to be disruptive, so the crew did the right thing in preventing a very possible in-flight disruption or even attack. This is a classic Muslim infiltration tactic in order to get people to back off or else be accused of being racist.
I’ll reserve judgement on this till more facts come out. If being disruptive is the standard then how does that fit in with being asked to depart a plane for speaking a language others do not understand.
Right. Even if he was hoping to get the reaction he got. It doesn’t matter, because their reaction was an over-reaction to what the facts are currently.
I wonder what his hat says ....
lock him up for disrupting the flight
I don’t think we know enough to pass judgement. What if he was saying included “allahu akbar”? It isn’t normal for 20 people to get that upset over anything minor.
Besides being a very well known HOAXER, this anti-American, anti-everyone but Muslims, may be an American citizen, but so were the Boston Bombers, the guy in Dan Bernadino, and other, for real wannabe MUSLIM terrorists, first generation American citizens.
Are you a Millennial?
WRONG....this POS Muslim is well known for videoing stunts like this and trying to prove that American and Aussies are bigots, hateful, nasty, and anti-Muslim.
You didn’t read the article, did ya; snowflake.
you wanna call folks names, how special of you.
Okay. You’re right.
How dare he talk to his mother in a foreign language and record it.
He follows me around sometimes because I disagree with pizzagate assumptions.
How “special” of you, oh PC imbued poster. ;^)
And yes, I did read the article and before you ask, no I am not a millennial...I just have this ability to think for myself rather than waiting for you to tell me what I should think. Next time I’ll be sure to ask you before posting.
THE IS A HOAX !
THIS IDIOT VIDEOS HIS "PRANKS", POSTS THEM, AND THEN LIES ABOUT IT ALL.
Twenty different passengers could NOT possibly have heard his phone call and if only you had bothered to read the FULL article, you wouldn't post such tribe.
