Re: FLY DELTA, the Muslim ‘unfriendly’ airline

"In their attempt to attend a national conference about countering the
rise of anti-Muslim bigotry, Masudur Rahman and Mohamed Zaghloul …
came face-to-face with the discrimination they hoped to learn how to
diminish," the lawsuit says.

The airlines issued the following statement Monday: "Atlantic
Southeast and Delta oppose discrimination in any form from any source,
and our employees act at all times in the best interest of passenger
safety and security. We cannot comment further on pending litigation."

According to the lawsuit, after the clerics took their seats on the
plane, an airline agent asked to see their identification and once
again cleared them to fly.

Shortly after the plane began to taxi on the runway, the pilot
announced they would be returning to the gate. The clerics were
ordered to get their bags and get off the plane.

The suit says a high-ranking Delta employee, who was distraught by the
pilot's actions, asked passengers if they felt uncomfortable with the
clerics and gave them the option to switch flights and receive a
voucher. No passengers indicated they were uncomfortable.

The men caught a flight to Charlotte seven hours later. Zaghloul had
been scheduled to give a prayer at the conference, but arrived too
late because of the delay.

They are asking the court to declare that the pilot's actions were
wrong and prohibit the airlines from discriminating against
passengers. They're also seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
