This is a second incident involving blatant hatred and bias from U.S Airways towards Muslims. See the links below. One woman was detained for 14 hours (mostly airport officials are to blame) but then U.S Airways refused to let her on the flight even after she had cleared security and had an FBI agent with her. The second is removing six imams from the flight in handcuffs for trying to pray.

United Express/SkyWest Airlines are not guiltless as well. They have removed a Muslim father and son from an airplane because their appearance made the flight attendant "uncomfortable"
We need to do some serious boycotting to show these racist airlines that they will pay a heavy financial price for this hatred. I know it may be tempting if we find a convenient flight or cheaper flight on that airline, but remember our Muslim brother and sisters and think of how you would feel if someone did this to you. All these people were ordinary law abiding citizens who paid for their fares like everyone else. They were humiliated and disrespected based on their faith and background. If we dont' unite on this cause, airlines will think they can continue to abuse us with no consequences.
