Flight Attendant Who Denied Islamist Tahera Ahmad Diet Coke Won't Be Serving Customers

Islamists escalate jihad on all fronts.

At ABC News, "United Apologizes After Muslim Chaplain's Soda Complaint."

And at LAT, "Flight attendant who denied soda can to Muslim will no longer serve customers":

United Airlines says a flight attendant involved in a dispute with a customer over a can of Diet Coke, leading to accusations of discrimination, won’t be serving customers on the airline any longer.

The dispute arose after Tahera Ahmad, a Muslim American chaplain at Northwestern University, claimed she was told she couldn’t have the unopened can of Diet Coke she requested because passengers “may use it as a weapon” on the plane.

When the man sitting next to Ahmad received an unopened can of beer, Ahmad said she protested. A fellow passenger then allegedly yelled, “You Muslim, you need to shut the … up,” and that “You know you would use it as a weapon.”

Ahmad wears a hijab in a photo on the university's website, but it's unclear what identified her as Muslim on the plane.

Both United Airlines and the company that was operating the flight characterized it as a “misunderstanding regarding a can of diet soda,” a statement Ahmad and others pilloried on social media as trivializing. United says it has apologized to Ahmad, and will also be sending her a written apology.

According to a United statement released Wednesday, the flight attendant “will no longer serve” United customers.

“United does not tolerate behavior that is discriminatory – or that appears to be discriminatory – against our customers or employees,” the company said in the statement. Employees at United and Shuttle America, the company that employed the flight attendant and was operating the flight, will undergo cultural sensitivity training, the airline said.


It’s not clear whether the flight attendant has been fired; officials at Republic Airways Holdings, which owns Shuttle America, declined to discuss the employee’s status, citing personnel issues.

There is no policy barring flight attendants from providing full, unopened beverage cans to customers upon request, Republic Airways Holdings said, and no policy regarding speculation as to how passengers may use the can.

In a statement, the company said Wednesday that it “deeply regrets the poor judgment and lack of sensitivity” the flight attendant demonstrated toward Ahmad. Both companies say they have opened investigations into the incident, and Republic Airways Holdings says it is “confident that this is an isolated incident.” Officials there are reviewing company training policies, Republic Airways said, and are “in the process” of reaching out to Ahmad to apologize.

Also at Bare Naked Islam, "MUSLIM BITCH who accused United Airlines of “racism” (What ‘race’ is Islam?) for refusing to give her an unopened can of Diet Coke has ties to Islamic terror-linked groups and individuals."

And at Jihad Watch, "Diet Coke Muslima has ties to Hamas-linked Muslim Brotherhood groups."
