No discrimination occurred according to American Airlines.

Actually, discrimination did occur (discrimination- unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people).

Why the need for the attendant to repeatedly name this passenger to the passengers in particular, and no other passenger?

Muslim passenger kicked off American Airlines flight after attendant announces:

Quote:
A Muslim man was removed from an American Airlines flight after a flight attendant publicly announced his name, seat number and said she would be “watching” him.

Mohamed Ahmed Radwan had boarded a plane in Charlotte, North Carolina and the flight attendant went to the tannoy and said: “Mohamed Ahmed, Seat 25-A: I will be watching you.”

The employee made no other announcements about any other passenger.

Mr Radwan asked the employee why she had made the announcements. She reportedly responded that he was being “too sensitive”.

The passenger then reported the incident to two other American Airlines employees.

He was told he must leave the plane as he had made the first air stewardess “uncomfortable”.

The passengers should have stood up and said the flight attendant was making them uncomfortable.

Agreed. Gotta pick your battles. In an aircraft one has few rights so if you call her out you will talking with the FBI guaranteed. If it's a principal then by all means do so.

We should wait till all the details are out.

After multiple hoaxes like Ahmed the clock boy and the other gal that cried over not getting a closed can of Coke, you can never be sure.
