This is precisely why I DO NOT speak Arabic in public unless I ABSOLUTELY have to.

That's what you get for voting for Republican demagogues.  When Reagan was making up lies about welfare queens on the south side of Chicago you were probably cheering.  Welcome to the America you and your party helped create.  Now please stop posting this stuff.  We Democrats know.  We've been trying to tell you for years but you simply wouldn't listen.

You're not in a position to dictate to me anything lol. Plus, I wasn't even ALIVE when Reagan was President. Nice job generalizing though, I guess it's a common trait among liberals.

Solution is simple. Make Southwest, FBI and LA airport pay 1 million each to the victim.

The wallet is the place to aim to fix most issues.

If his side of the story is true, this is disgusting.

However, I've heard many stories of passengers being unruly (not turning off their phone for takeoff) and then accusing the airline of racism/sexism when they're kicked off. I'll wait to get more info before I make a judgment.

This kind of reminds me of a similar story involving a lesbian couple. http://gawker.com/5844106/the-l-words-leisha-hailey-kicked-off-flight-for-kissing-girlfriend
