South West Airlines Now Allows Passengers To Kick Muslims off Their Flights

The world’s largest low-cost airline carrier allowed a few racist passengers to oust Arabic-speaking and Muslim passengers on two separate flights this week, quickly becoming the official airline for the country’s bigots.
Two men, 29-year-old Maher Khalil and 28-year-old Anas Ayyad, who both moved to Philadelphia 15 years ago from Palestine, were speaking Arabic before their flight in the terminal this week, reports NBC Philadelphia. After overhearing them, another passenger on their flight approached the gate agent, demanding they be removed from the flight. The agent acquiesced, telling the pair that they wouldn’t be allowed to board because a passenger was afraid to fly with them.
Not knowing what else to do, Khalil called 911, telling police that he’d been racially profiled.
“If that person doesn’t feel safe, let them take the bus,” Khalil, who owns two pizza parlors in Philadelphia, said to a Southwest Airlines gate agent, according to NBC Philadelphia. “We’re American citizens just like everybody else.”
After a delay and questioning, the men were allowed to board the flight. But this wasn’t the only instance of Southwest allowing racist passengers to pick the flight roster. Passengers on a second Southwest flight from Chicago to Houston Wednesday refused to allow six Muslims on the flight, causing the Muslim passengers to have to be rebooked on another flight.

Last time I flew Southwest I requested that they make all the black people sit in the back of the plane... the flight attendants were more than happy to oblige with my request.

It's far from a win, you moron. It's shite like this that leads to the radicals losing their minds and blowing shite up to prove a point.

No, it's not. They are going to do this anyway, and they will just use stuff like this as the excuse; it is not the real reason. Frick them.

Sad. Keep rocking in your chair muttering to yourself.

I know a guy that was on this flight and heard his story as soon as he got into Houston.
Reportedly, the six Arabs boarded the flight and began causing problems for several other passengers. On Arab sat down, then refused to let a white women sit next to him because he was saving the seat for a friend. When the other Arabs began to board the plane, not one sat next to the guy. Then they began speaking loudly to each other and one guy was directing the others to spread out around the plane. One lady was sitting in an aisle seat, and an Arab just walked right over her to get to the window seat. Others Arabs then started speaking loudly to the guy near the window, and he quickly decided to move. As he was pushing past the lady in the aisle, she insisted that he wait for her to get up for him and that started an argument.
At that point, several passengers were uncomfortable and asked to get off the plane. The pilot then came to the back, investigated what was going on, then forced the Arabs to leave for making a scene. The remaining passengers were then given to choice to stay on board or leave; one lady chose to leave.

Gawker is just the worst.
It shouldn't be a surprise that low-fare airlines typically have some very amusing people flying with them, so it shouldn't really be an attack on Southwest.
Southwest should just have the disclaimer: "You might see some shite."
