Muslim Hoaxster Kicked Off Delta Flight For Disrupting Cabin

Adam Saleh, a young American YouTube star of Arab heritage, is calling out Delta Airlines after being tossed from a New York-bound flight for purportedly causing a disturbance.

In a series of posts and videos widely circulated on social media Wednesday morning, Saleh and a friend are shown being escorted from a plane at London's Heathrow Airport — because he says he was heard speaking Arabic to his companion and during a phone call to his mother before takeoff.

"Guys, we spoke a different language on the plane and now we're getting kicked out," Saleh declares in the footage, which sparked an immediate backlash against the airline on social media.

"I spoke a word in a different language and you said you feel uncomfortable? ... I can't believe it."

In the video, several fellow passengers are seen defending Saleh, while others at the back of the plane wave goodbye as airline personnel escort he and his friend out.

Saleh's subsequent social media updates indicate he and his companion met with police, re-checked by security, booked on a different airline to New York and that he would speak to a lawyer after his return home. He also urged for a boycott of Delta Airlines.

Re: Muslim Hoaxster Kicked Off Delta Flight For Disrupting Cabin

Must be the same innocent muslim that mf just posted about. AS usual though he only posted what might possibly make the prick look innocent.

This prankster does this all the time to get a reaction and then he posts it on youtube. I am not surprised the weak minded fell for another prank.

But yeah... it was a hoax.

Sniffity sniffity sniffily sniff

Yes!

Good boy...

Fetch!

Okay the double posting needs to stop now.

Why not? The SJW crowd feels that way all the time with words in their own language.

So you were there before he pushed his play button (or more likely in footage he chose not to post)?



Mods should merge this thread into Spammy's ..... but poor flossy would probably have another fit as his selfworth will be yet again devalued.
