Yes it could be. But if this also happened last year I do find it to be a convenient coincidence that two years in a row some that are traveling to Islamaphobia report similar incidents. Sure helps there cause to draw attention to being mistreated.

 

It would be one thing if they simply said "we felt unwelcomed even though they let us fly." We're talking about separate incidents where the pilot MADE them get off of the plane. That's where I struggle to believe it was a setup.

Your probably right, but it does happen at a very fortuitous time for them and their cause.

Couldn't they have just taken their shoes away and let them fly. Sheesh...

The Rosa Park incident happened at a very fortuitous time, too. Doesn't mean it was contrived.

 

Can you give a scenario that could be a possibility of how you feel this incident could have been planned and carried out?

Didn't this happen last year as well? At least one or two people going to this event?

Look at the date on the article, May 7, 2011 12:22 p.m. EDT. This is that incident.

Do you think there will be any repercussions for the pilot?

 

I'd be surprised if there weren't. Also wouldn't be surprised if he knew that going into it.
