Perhaps Southwest Airlines Got It Right the First Time

Anyone associated with CAIR should be looked at with suspicion:

A San Diego Muslim woman wearing a headscarf who was removed from a Southwest Airlines plane at Lindbergh Field on Sunday has received several apologies from the airline and a voucher good for a free flight “as a gesture of goodwill.”

But the woman, Irum Abbasi, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an advocacy and civil rights group which has taken up her cause, said at a Wednesday morning news conference at Lindbergh Field that this event is a sign of a anti-Muslim sentiment spreading through the country.

A Pakistan native and U.S. citizen, Abbasi was removed from a flight to San Jose on Sunday after an attendant thought she heard her say “It’s a go” on her cell phone. Abbasi said she actually said “I’ve got to go” because the flight was ready to depart.

“I was in tears,” said Abbasi. “I have lived in the United States 10 years. I am a U.S. citizen.” While she was quickly cleared, Abbasi said she was told she could not re-board the flight because the crew was uncomfortable with her presence.

Abbasi and CAIR both link her ejection to last week’s controversial congressional hearing on “The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community” by Rep. Peter King, R-New York. A call to King’s Washington office has not been returned.

Sure, that's it.

Southwest offered a free flight, which Abbasi rejected:

Abbasi said she gave the voucher away and, despite the apology, won’t be flying Southwest in the future.

I'm guessing that after witnessing this woman aligning herself with a terror apologist organization like CAIR, Southwest Airlines is okay with the idea she won't be flying with them again.

Memo to CAIR:  How about getting your people to quit blowing stuff up and killing people around the world.  Then hearings like the one held by Rep. King wouldn't be necessary.
