Two Muslim Women Who Work For The US Govt, Escorted Off Plane...

 In a growing list of victims of paranoid, or perhaps bigoted, flight attendants, two American Muslim women were asked to leave an American Airlines plane after discussing a lack of food and water when their flight was delayed on the tarmac — for five hours.

A flight attendant said the two women made him feel "unsafe."

Niala Mohammad, a journalist for the U.S. government-funded news agency Voice of America, and her federal government employee friend, whom the Independent reported wished to remain anonymous, were traveling from Miami to Washington when they were asked to leave the plane.

Mohammad explained their American Airlines flight had remained on the ground in Miami for five hours, but the crew refused to allow passengers to purchase food or beverages.

A white male passenger seated behind the pair began discussing the issue and the lengthy delay with the journalist's friend.
