Muslim Passenger Was Discriminated Against on United Airlines Flight

A Muslim passenger on a United Airlines flight was allegedly refused a can of Diet Coke she asked for because the flight attendant thought she might use it as a weapon.

Tahera Ahmad, a chaplain at Northwestern University, was flying from Chicago to a conference in Washington, D.C., Friday night when she said her request was refused.

Ahmad, a moderate Muslim who has been personally commended by President Obama, said that the incident was motivated by her religion and left her humiliated.

She said the discrimination suffered was plain to see because a passenger next to had been a canned drink just before her request was turned down.

According to Ahmad, the incident left her 'in tears of humiliation' and opened her up to anti-Muslim abuse from other passengers on the flight, which was operated by Shuttle America, a United partner airline.

Writing about the incident on Facebook just after it happened, Ahmad described how she asked for the soda when a female flight attendant came round, and was first given a can which had already been opened.

She asked for an unopened one instead, but was ultimately told she could not have one because she might use it to attack other passengers.

Ahmad said the attendant told her: 'We are unauthorized to give unopened cans to people because they may use it as a weapon on the plane.'

When she pointed out that an unopened beer had just been given to someone else, Ahmad said the attendant opened the beer can, then clarified: 'It's so you don't use it as a weapon.'

Ahmad said she was 'appalled' and asked other passengers to stand up for her - only to be met with foul-mouthed abuse.

She wrote that a man sitting a few seats away said: 'You Muslim, you need to shut the f**k up.... yes you know you would use it as a WEAPON so shut the f**k up.'

She added: 'I felt the hate in his voice and his raging eyes. I can't help but cry on this plane because I thought people would defend me and say something.'
