La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for December 10, 2016

Is it true? If Southwest Airlines refused service to Islamic passengers because of customer predjudice the problem is much bigger than the problem of individual prejudice. If someone is filled with hate and fear that is their problem, when that impinges on the rights of others it becomes everyone’s problem.

I would have told that idiot that the pilot was muslim.

Simple economics would say that it makes more money to have 2 Muslims paying to fly than 1 bigot. I believe the stockholders should see about this (not to mention the Islamic lawsuit)…

Also, taking the bus certainly won’t help, though Jefferson Lines is trying to price itself out of poor people territory.

The airline should have removed the bigoted passenger.

They don’t call it South Worst Airlines for nothing

This event occurred in November of 2015. Check out the 5 Pillars.com article on the occuance, this is a Moslem website. http://5pillarsuk.com/2015/11/24/two-men-stopped-from-boarding-us-plane-for-speaking-arabic/ To say this was a “bigoted action” is a bit of overreach. The event occurred shortly after the Paris attacks and were acts of Prejudice that was fueled by fear. Also it wasn’t just SWA, but Spirit Airlines that similar events occurred.

Lalo, you refer to Muslims as brown, Muslim is a religion not an ethic group. Your referring to Muslim as brown is pure racism on your part. In the Latino world, which you claim to be a part of, brown refers to the amount of American Indian content in the person. Arab who are mostly Muslim and American Indians never mixed.

I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with people. If I see someone acting like an arrogant jerk I will speak up for the people they’re offending. Just because you have a nitwit for President doesn’t mean other people need to mimic his boorish behavior

Why do you hate Muslims?Did one of them step on your toe?Dif one cut in front of you in the line at the grocery?Can you tell us what he/she/they did to you?
