Two Muslim men from Texas say American Airlines profiled them
Two Muslim men from Texas say American Airlines profiled them and canceled their flight after crew members said they "didn't feel comfortable" flying with the pair. Abderraoof Alkhawaldeh and Issam Abdallah said they filed a complaint with the US DoT against the airline, asking the federal agency to investigate the incident. The men say American Airlines discriminated against them Saturday for appearing Muslim and Middle Eastern during a flight from Birmingham, Alabama, that was headed to Dallas-Fort Worth International. The pair says flight attendants reported them because a crew member noticed Abdallah flush the toilet 2 times while in the airplane restroom, according to a letter the men's attorney sent to the DoT. The men also waved to each other on the plane. <br/>
