Flight attendant denies Muslim woman can of soda because she might "use it as a weapon."

 

Crew Member Who Refused Muslim Woman Unopened Soda Won't Fly With United Again

 

Facebook/Tahera Ahmad

 

United Airlines says the flight attendant who allegedly denied a Muslim woman an unopened can of soda will no longer serve customers on their planes.

 

Tahera Ahmad, director of interfaith engagement and associate chaplain at Northwestern University, penned a troubling Facebook post last weekend in which she said a flight attendant refused to provide her with an unopened can of Diet Coke because she might "use it as a weapon."

 

"After investigating this matter, United has ensured that the flight attendant, a Shuttle America employee, will no longer serve United customers," Charles Hobart, a spokesman for United, told The Huffington Post in an emailed statement. "While United did not operate the flight, Ms. Ahmad was our customer and we apologize to her for what occurred on the flight."

The original story is not a joke. Kevin's post is a link to the Onion's treatment of the actual story in its satirical "American Voices" feature.

 

Here's a story from the very non-satirical Chicago Tribune:

good, Kevin Slater made me wonder...

 

I reminded of the Onion naming Kim Jong-Un sexiest man alive and several Chinese newspapers pick it up as real news and even congratulated him. LOL
