From the article:
Mary Campos said her pre-booked ticket was given away by United Airlines. The reason? She’s a woman, and two men didn’t want to sit next to a female.
And the agent told her, “The two gentlemen seated next to you have cultural beliefs that prevent them for sitting next to, talking to or communicating with females.”
ETA: The link says the two men were Pakistani monks who did not want to sit next to a woman, nor did they want to be served by female on-board employees. The link did not specifically say that the men were Muslim (but I can't change the thread title). Regardless, the reason for posting was an American airline, an American female passenger, presumably American female airline employees - all making accommodation for two Pakistani monks.

Almost makes up for some of the Muslims who've been booted off of airplanes because ignorant conservative cowards were terrified of sitting next to someone with an accent. Sorry it happened to her, but hey - boo hoo. Tough world.

So muslim man > woman. Your PC thought logic is interesting. Let me ask you what if it was a jew? Is that okay because Israel sent a rocket into gaza last year or what?
Too stupid to even respond to. What do jews have to do with it? Muslim, man, woman, jews, martians, who cares? World's full of injustices; i don't see the point in getting hysterical about this one. The pendulum swings this way, the pendulum swings that way, move on.

How many times is this going to be a thread? This was in the news last September and I've seen more than one thread on this forum about the same incident.

Yesterday's news - it's dated Sept, 2016. I don't know what the heck Pakistani "monks" are since contrary to popular belief, Pakistan is a country and not a religion. For all anyone knows they were Pakistani CHRISTIAN monks who had taken strict vows. If the Yuppie bieach had a problem with this, she should have filed the appropriate complaints or else shut her trap. If two monks of ANY faith who were required to honor strict vows didn't want to sit next to me, I'd have no problem moving, since I doubt that I'd want to sit next to them either. Problem solved.
Surely, you cons could find many other more exciting things to whine about.
This is a real dilemma for the leftists, which side do they take?
It says they're "Monks", so I assume they're possibly Buddhists. If they're Christians, the answer is easy. The leftists will side against the Christians, because they hold Christianity to a greater level of scrutiny than other religions.

Easy - Pakistani monks are monks from Pakistan.
American monks are monks from the US. This is not a difficult concept. Yes knowing the religion would help but acting like you're confused or bothered by "Pakistani monks" is just annoying.
