Tell Delta to stop discriminating against Muslim passengers

Dear SANDRA,

Earlier this month, two men were abruptly forced off a Delta-operated flight in Tennessee at the last minute—after clearing security and boarding the plane. In fact, flight 5452 was already taxiing to the runway when the pilot decided to return to the gate to order these men removed.

Delta kicked these men off the plane because of how they looked.

Masudur Rahman and Mohamed Zaghloul are Muslim-American religious leaders—imams—and they were dressed in traditional attire.

The pilot claimed that their appearance made other passengers uncomfortable and refused to fly with them onboard. Ironically, Rahman and Zaghloul were on their way to a conference on Islamophobia.

Delta even attempted to dismiss the incident by saying that "As the individuals responsible for the safety and security of their flight and everyone on board, pilots industry-wide do have authority over their aircraft within the parameters set by their individual carrier."

It’s time for Delta to update its “parameters” to ensure this kind of discrimination does not happen again.

When airlines like Delta allow employees to discriminate, it contributes to an atmosphere where some prejudice is routine and accepted. (Rahman and Zaghloul were just two of seven imams who were denied boarding en route to the same conference.)

After being pushed, Delta agreed to investigate this incident, but that's not enough.

That's why Kutibh Chihabi, a Muslim American student at UCLA, started a petition on Change.org to ask Delta to apologize and update their guidelines for employee training and conduct to eliminate discrimination.

Imam Rahman said what Delta did “shouldn’t happen with any other person.” Please sign this petition to make sure that it doesn’t:

Thanks for taking action,

READ

READ

Reading is integral to the As-Sabiqun tarbiyah program. Books have the power of aiding us in our quest to develop ourselves intellectually, morally, spiritually, and in many other ways. However, the acquisition of knowledge is useless without an outlet for practical implementation; our development is accelerated and refined by such real-life implementation and work. The As-Sabiqun movement provides an ideal opportunity to translate the ideas contained in these books into actions which will make a difference in the world (insha’Allah).

It must be noted that while we have a high level of respect for the writers of these books, we do not necessarily subscribe 100% to any particular writer’s views. In other words, we remain highly inspired by the content of the books listed here, but we are not confined by them; we also draw from our own experience and ideas.

In addition to the direct study of the Qur’an, Hadith literature, and the As-Sabiqun newsletters, here are some of our recommended readings and references:
