Muslim Imams Sue US Airways over Flight Removal

HeadlineMar 14, 2007

Back in the United States, a controversial case of “high-flying profiling” is now headed to court. Six Muslim leaders removed from a US Airways flight last year have filed suit against the airline for discrimination. The imams were on their way back from a religious conference in Minneapolis. They were led off the plane in handcuffs and questioned for several hours after they were seen praying together before boarding. US Airways denied them passage on any of its other flights and refused to help them obtain tickets through another airline. The airline has refused to apologize.
