I wonder how many people have been asked to leave a plane for other reasons, but we didn't hear about them.

So the larger picture that I'm viewing myopically is that those who look Middle Eastern may come to the conclusion they would be better off staying home because one of them was asked to leave the plane allegedly for saying something threatening? Have all the Middle Eastern looking folks who had reservations since this incident cancelled their flights? Have all those who were planning to fly decided not to? Maybe you can post another article telling us about this sudden drop in passengers who look Middle Eastern.

This is not complicated. If the Muslim's rights have been denied, he can sue the airline. He would have no difficulty in finding a lawyer to take up his case. If he has a case. in that light you must feel the Airline acted reasonable and he can sue and everything is all better? I get it /QUOTE]
I don't know if the airline acted reasonably. It made a claim about threatening sounding verbiage, which has neither been substantiated, nor disproved. If they were unreasonable, I hope that is established and reasonable recompense is issued. In the light of your response, you must feel the airline acted unreasonably. Are you just "feeling" that, or do you actually know?
