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."

But you made up your twee mind and don't like being called out on your gullibility and abject lack of knowledge. Bless your heart.
Can you try and type in a larger capitalized font so I can really hear what you are try to say. And its not tribe, its tripe. What is this magic attribute you have that allows you to know if someone read the article? Can you share more with us in the tribe?
If he was saying allahu akbar he should have certainly been thrown off the plane.
How “bless your heart” of you, oh PC imbued poster...pot meet kettle. This too easy, apologize and I won’t stalk you around this forum just like you do to others just because they disagree with you. CAN’T YOU SEE I AM RIGHT BECAUSE OF THE CAPS AND FONT I USE? I wonder how many minds your approach has changed over the years here on FR?
If you actually did read the full article, then that makes your original post far more troubling. Helpful hint....stop digging! ;^)
I saw his story featured on Facebook and knew instantly it was some form of hoax.
can’t hear you without the CAPS, try again.
Then about 20 people allegedly said they were uncomfortable with Saleh and his companion.
But nothing about what made them uncomfortable.
I submit that you take too much information at face value.
Second of all, I'm the last person, on the face of the earth, you should call "PC imbued"; unlike you.
Thirdly, I have changed many posters' minds, over the years I've posted here; probably because I post facts and call out those who go wobbly.
You poor thing.....*snicker*
OTOH, you took this at face value, on HIS words.
WHAT?
What disturbance did he make?
No, I read the article.
Get someone to explain it all to you.
Go do your own scut work.
I THOUGHT THAT IS WHAT YOU WERE HERE TO DO, EXPLAIN IT TO ME!
Oh I see, you enjoy making a complete and utter fool of yourself, by posting banal, inane, puerile, unfunny, unclever, pathetic persiflage. LOL
OH I CAN KEEP THIS UP ALL DAY AND NIGHT SWEETHEART
I’m certain that you are fully capable of posting nothing but drivel, as long as you are awake and perhaps even in your sleep. Just pound away at that keyboard; diddums, as long as you donate lots of money, for wasting all of that bandwidth.
The guy has a verifiable history of pranks geared toward inciting an anti-muslim response. Clearly, an agitator.
Only knowing his side of the story at this point, if your going to take sides, why would you error on his side vs. that of 20 other passengers who complained about his behavior, many of whom gave statements?

As he was being escorted out, he states...
"You guys are racists. I spoke a different language and you say you feel uncomfortable! I can't believe my eyes. We spoke a different language and now there are six white people against us bearded men." [1]
IMV, knowing what is known at this point, he's a spoiled millennial anti-white male agent provocateur.
