Muslim men accuse Airline of booting them over Arabic texts
Two Muslim men say they were booted off an Alaska Airlines flight in February because of text messages they sent in Arabic.
The men, identified as Abobakkr and Mohamed, were on a business trip when they boarded an Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle to San Francisco on Feb. 17, the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Washington state chapter said in a statement.
Abobakkr was in his first-class seat texting a friend before taking off. A passenger nearby noticed the text messages and reported them to a flight attendant despite not knowing Arabic, according to CAIR.
