If you have heard the story of 2 saudi men travelling on an american plane who got kicked off for speaking arabic then you will think the same as me. Why did they do that? is it just that people are biased about this? also, they were asked to move seats many times till one pulled out his diplomatic pasport. then,they got kicked off.i really dont see why this is happening. it makes no sense to kick off saudi diplomats off a plane because they were speaking arabic. now imagine how i, asa saudi, and many others reacted to this response. next thing you know, you'll be kicked off a plane for wearing a scarf around youre hair(only applies to muslim women)!
I think that this has gone too far. why dont they accept saudi's and muslims as normal people i wouldlike to know?

Maybe Arabic was their only language. how would you feel if you would get kicked off from a plane when you say a word in English?

uh, no. they talked to the airline lady in english. plus, they were diplomats gaboloth, so they have no right to kick them off for that. and one of them was a judge.

Well, however they had the right to speak the language they wanted on the plane they wanted. It's just another proof of the ignorance and idiocy of a lot of Americans.

Well, they are still trying to kill people.

That is pretty screwed up though. Kicking them off the plane was retarded, or really any action other than politely asking them to speak in English was flat out retarded.

Even asking them to speak English would have been stupid, but not as much.

yes, i agree with you EnterOrion. it was retarted but the biased theories dont usually change.
I have a feeling that this kind of thing is just like another incident when an airline host/ess saw some muslims praying. he/she then phoned the airport and the people where kicked. oh well. biase theories dont change, especially if the people believe them

This violates the 14th amendment of equal protection. The Arabs have the right to take this to the Supreme Court or just sue the company.

It's not racist or 'faithist', it's just fear, I don't condone it anyway, but more than a few people have been fear mongered into believing that all Arabs are terrorists. To put it plainly the actions of a few have condemned a whole race and culture.

It used to be this freedom that separated the United States from the rest of the world, however because of one attack this country has become just as scared and xenophobic as the rest of the world.
