Women Giving up Seats on American Airliners for Religious Accomodation?

[theDoctorisIn]

California Woman Forced To Change Airline Seat To Accommodate Muslim Passengers…

Your point?

Non Christians are assholes.

Everyone has the God given potential to be an asshole and all too frequently fulfills that potential.

And nonChristians excel.

As do many Christians - as you yourself prove every day on this message board.

Evidently some Western airlines discriminate against men. Won't seat unescorted minors next to male passengers.
As tho they've never heard of women predators or pesky Cougars.

Airline seating sex discrimination controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Finally -- I have a case.. Gonna go start the initial chapter of N.O.Men

BTW -- the FLIGHT CREW on that flight was prohibited from serving or addressing the men.

Did they force the man to move in any case?

Now, now.

If you're going to ride a high horse, you've got to get better about not falling off.

Yeah, mentions no airline based in America. So I don't expect foreign nations to hold our stupid PC standards.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Yeah I saw you carefully placed the Orthodox Jews in the same boat. Nice attempt to cover up for the Muslims.

We all can deal with little issues from Orthodox Jews from time to time because they don't bother anyone. Nor do they oppress, kill, or rape women and children. And yell from the roof tops about their blood lust for anyone not in their religion.

Hmmmm....so...a couple of Muslims (that aren't bothering anyone) must be treated differently than a couple of Buddhists (who aren't bothering anyone) or a couple of Orthodox Jews (that aren't bothering anyone)...

Yes.

But I would tell each of them to piss off because we don't forcibly move women anywhere at the whimes of any man.

The people with the weird issue need to adjust to the rest of us. Not the other way around.

I agree in general - I don't have a problem with being asked, nicely if I would - being forced though - BAD MANAGEMENT on the airline's part.

That's the obvious answer.

But I posed this before and I didn't see anyone address this ....

how do we know these paki's were monks?

Is this story just from the woman who was moved and is she just basing it off what the gate agent told her?

I worked at an airline during summers in college. Gate agent is no joke. And I know what happens when Arab or African men get frustrated at the gate. They yell and bully until their needs are met.

So how are we basing this Paki monk idea? Did anyone talk to these paki's? I imagine it's pretty easy to move a woman's seat to stop two men from yelling at you while you are trying to ensure everyone is boarded and the flight leaves the gate on time.

If you actually read the OP -- you would find that's how United Airlines explained the situation to the woman. She made up nothing. You have a hard time with this thread because facts in evidence don't fit your EXPECTED narrative. Muslim clerics do not LOOK like Buddhist clerics.

I really don't understand your reluctance to accept the narrative. And NO --- we'll never get the two orange-robed guys to give a statement. Just go with it.

The only FACT in this matter is that it is only the woman referring to them as "Monks".

Since Pakistani Imams DO often wear robes of a burnt orange color, and the woman is not necessarily well-versed in the nomenclature involved, it is entirely within reason that she simply did not know what to call them. Since Pakistan is overwhelmingly Muslim, it is hardly a stretch to think they might be Muslim.

These monks seem quite selfish don't they? You'd think THEIR religion would have them either sit apart next to separate men or book the flight ahead of time noting their 'special needs' when booking.

Airlines as with buses do what they can to accommodate people but in the end the woman shouldn't have to pay for their mistake. There are a million variations that could happen on this story and you just can't accommodate everyone all the time. Not happy? Buy a bicycle.

 

[AsherN]

Orthodox Jews do it also, since their beliefs that women are unclean most of the month..

Actually, no. Women are ritually unclean during their menses. To avoid embarrassing a woman by asking if she is unclean at any given time Orthodox Jewish men avoid all contact with all women in public at all time.

Men need to stop thinking with their penises. I mean come on. It's old. Everything is not about what sex you are.

Why don't you tell us what "straw men" I used?

"actively chose ignorance because it makes them feel better"

and

"whine"

I do neither and you never addressed my original point.

 

[AsherN]

Why was the woman moved? The men could have just as easily been moved. This is wrong and part of the problem of lack of or refusal to assimilate

Because from the airline's POV, they can move the woman, presumably to an empty seat, or they can try to find 2 seats next to a man, and move the monks and the other 2 passengers. The first choice is a lot simpler.

You are in fact whining right now.

As for proudly reveling in ignorance, you in fact admitted it yourself, in the post where you proudly stated your intention to "assume".

Ok assholes like you go into 'ignore' land. Byeeeee......

Wow, that makes 2 of them.

I think you'll find that that won't really work.

But as an old poster here used to say, your concession is noted.
