There have been A LOT of cases of airlines acting inappropriately lately.
Most recently, people were freaking that a woman was forcibly removed from a Southwest flight for “having dog allergies.”
Here’s the thing. People with “life-threatening pet allergies” can provide a medical certificate. She doesn’t have one. Southwest policies expressly prohibit claiming these allergies without proof…
Because you can’t just get people’s pooches kicked off a flight if you FEEL like it.
And it looks like that’s EXACTLY what was going on here…
The woman who was kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight after demanding dogs be removed from the plane has been identified as Muslim professor Anila Daulatzai, who teaches at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
Daulatzai was kicked off a flight to Los Angeles on Tuesday after demanding two dogs be removed from the plane because she has “life-threatening allergies.”
She was unable to produce any documentation to prove this fact and was kicked off the flight in accordance with Southwest’s stated policies which explicitly forbid passengers from claiming a life-threatening allergic reaction to animals without a medical certificate.
Speculation is rife she demanded the dogs be removed because Muslims view dogs as unclean.
There’s quite a bit of text in Muslim texts that deems precious pooches “unclean”:
“Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.’” — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.50
“Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert.” — Sahih Muslim 3811
“Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.” — Sahih Muslim 551
Dogs are regularly killed in Muslim countries.
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.
Not ok.
You don’t get to pull this kind of crap.
Surely, SJWs everywhere will now complain about how Southwest is Islamophobic for not letting her get her way and kick those dogs off a flight for no reason. I’d be surprised if they DIDN’T.
