Professional victimization....sorry, I don't think a can of soda is a Constitutional right.

And this incident drove her to tears???

All of the CHRISTIAN BUSINESSES being shut down because their RELIGIOUS BELIEFS are given short shrift by the media....but a major story focuses on a denial of a can of Diet Coke?

[Gaffer]

Boo hoo. THIS is Muslim sentiment in this country with respect to ISLAMIC terrorist around this world. NOT protest, NOT condemnation, NOT outcry in personal or public media.

We hear ONLY the bleats and diversions of so called citizens who seek only to use our laws and the misplaced sense of caring and fairness (that has been taken A Few Bridges Too Far, IMO) this country offers.

They can all go to hell.

She is a Professional Muslim Victim, it’s not her first claim.

And, she tried to get a real heroine, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, banned from speaking at her college.

A 2013 Pew Research Center Survey found that more than 40 percent of Americans believe that Islam is more likely than other religions to encourage violence

This is like asking if the Dead Sea is saltier than Lake Michigan. How can 60% dispute the facts?

Muslims boycotting an airline should increase business.

Nobody gets an unopened can of anything on a flight. You get a glass of something. If you want a full Coke, buy one before you board.

[L,TOWM]

F’ing ridiculous. The guy that got the can of beer probably paid $10-$15 for it. If you are getting the “free” in flight refreshment, you are going to get a cup of soda, coffee, or water. You hardly ever get the whole dammed can these days. “Hygenic reasons?” Bu-—it. I smell an attorney and payday coming from a professional whiner.

IF there was a guy that said “Muslim, you need to shut the f—k up”, would it had made her any happier or less “humiliated” if he had said “B-—ch, shut your yammering skull cave!”?

.....When Ahmad turned to her fellow passengers for support, she said that one man told her “You Muslim, you need to shut the f— up.”

Are we sure the man who said this wasn't also Muslim?

[denydenydeny]

I keep wondering, when did the right not to be offended become paramount above all others?

[Popman]

The reason she wanted an unopened can wasn’t for hygienic reasons, it’s because of her distaste of infidels...

My wife works in retail and she will get the Muslim women making her put their coin change into their purse instead of her gloved hand...

You see my wife is a filthy infidel pig...the money in my wife’s hand cannot touch the hand of one of Allah’s pure maidens...

I don’t think I have ever seen my wife so outraged...

Only 40%? I need to redouble my efforts.

I don’t believe her “story”.

Poor things. Kick them the hell out.

She wasn’t allowed an UNOPENED can of diet coke... neither was anyone else on the plane... not racist, just policy. Get over yourself.

[9YearLurker]

Oh, she got her can okay—and she even got it unopened, she just didn’t initially get her unopened can of Coke.

.....When Ahmad turned to her fellow passengers for support, she said that one man told her “You Muslim, you need to shut the f— up.” Ahmad ended the flight “in tears of humiliation,” she wrote, ending her post with the hashtag #Islamophobiaisreal.

How dare the passenger speak to her that way, thereby insulting the Prophet! /s

[Texas Eagle]

...provided yet more kindling to the raging debate about Islamophobia in the U.S.

And the Washington Compost dutifully complies.

[TurkeyLurkey]

A Muslim “chaplin”?

Don’t believe a word of it.
