Worth remembering this before everyone freaks out. Delta is still investigating. https://t.co/wwsw40vq8o

A Muslim YouTube star who has in the past been caught making hoax videos went viral this morning for claiming that he was kicked off a Delta flight just for speaking Arabic. Saleh claimed that he was “crying after I got off the plane.”
Some passengers have disputed some of Saleh’s claims. Here’s Delta’s statement:
Two customers were removed from this flight and later rebooked after a disturbance in the cabin resulted in more than 20 customers expressing their discomfort. We’re conducting a full review to understand what transpired. We are taking allegations of discrimination very seriously; our culture requires treating others with respect.
Whatever happened this morning, it’s certainly clear that Saleh enjoys being an annoyance on airplanes. Here are a couple other videos made by Saleh:

@neontaster I have a hard time believing Delta's statement that 20 passengers found him to be disruptive on a flight https://t.co/bwWK6rvyMZ

Delta said some passengers reported a disruption, and that’s not entirely hard to believe.
@neontaster @redsteeze Could it be this guy was acting like a total douche, got kicked off the plane, but blamed it on speaking Arabic? Hmmm

@litinthisbitch @redsteeze Delta's statement makes it sound like that's what happened. But who knows.

Honestly, he needs to be on the no-fly list. It's a privilege afforded to those who aren't continually acting like assholes. https://t.co/pYkfBEm5mE

As usual, the media fell for #FakeNews. Turns out the public can spot Fake News. Its only the idiotic "journalists" who can't tell Fake News https://t.co/4SruDmN4A5
