United Airline Refuses A Muslim lady a can of Coke. #unitedfortahera

Firstly, the title of the thread is misleading. Secondly, this is routine at venues such as football stadiums. Thirdly, why does the lady, and the OP, assume this is a case of religious discrimination?

That's what you get for carrying drugs on planes

The waitress should have opened it and poured it straight into a plastic glass, to avoid shizz like this.

I do not believe her story!

have u read the whole thing.





You mean a headscarf. Thanks for that comment



I was thinking that also


b'coz she's a muslim. I understand.

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.

Sorry i use awful jokes when I read something as distressing as this

have u read the whole thing.

so United spokesman Charles Hobart is making sh1t up.


Am sorry too, I i didn't realize the joke. Anyways crab a popcorn and watch how many arrogant people call her a liar, whore, camel piss drinking, terrorist etc etc

Yes, but I am talking about the main issue of the can of coke and accusations of discrimination against the waitress, which I believe are unfounded.

Why couldn't she defend herself?

Why was she waiting for someone to step in?

Because you would think someone would speak out against discrimination or wrongdoing if they saw it or is it only when it suits their agenda?

Perhaps the flight attendant could have brought the woman the can of coke and opened it in front of her, that way she will not feel any concern about hygiene etc, that would have been a better approach imo.

My skeptical sense is tingling...Nevertheless, regarding what the stewardess did, that's actually a common airline practice precisely because 'pressurized containers' can be a hazard. If the stewardess did indeed give a man next to her an unopened can as Ms Ahmad claims, that was the breach of airline conduct (albeit minor). The stewardess's choice of words was poor (she apologized afterwards) which prompted a reaction from Ms Ahmad, fueled by her belief of potentially being stereotyped. She did get a can of coke in the end if you read the full story. Furthermore, the airline apologized, offered her assistance in making the complaint, and took the accusation seriously, making the boycott of the airline she later called for quite over the top.As for what the other passenger allegedly said, the airline was not responsible for that.
