SAN DIEGO – A Muslim woman is suing Southwest Airlines for kicking her off a flight from San Diego in March after crew members became suspicious of her behavior, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday night.
Irum Abbasi, a U.S. citizen who emigrated from Pakistan a decade ago, was seated on a plane ready to depart from San Diego for San Jose when a flight attendant became worried about what she thought Abbasi was saying on her cellphone.
Abbasi said she had told the caller, "I have to go" -- but the attendant thought she had said, "It's a go," the Times reported. The San Jose State University graduate student, who was wearing a hijab, the Islamic head scarf, was escorted from the plane by a Transportation Security Administration official.

Oh for goodness sake, I would have reported her too. When in AMERICA, do as the Americans do, and if you don't want to, go back to Pakistan.
She was hanging up her cell phone as instructed. Sounds like she was "doing as Americans do" to me. This is just another case of Islamaphobia.
Dressed like a freak, get treated like a freak. How would someone be treated getting on a plane in a kkk robe and hood?
8:32,
How does a bigot dress? I mean what is in your wardrobe specifically.

how dare you! kkk robes arent the same as our headdresses! ours have purpose! kkk is for white people and you guys dont have rights!
They were just protecting the airlines passenger and i think they have taken the right decision but the thing is that various people were worried that she may be terrorist
