Arabic-speaking student says he was victim of Islamophobia
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A college student and Iraqi refugee yanked from a Southwest Airlines flight after mentioning a terrorist group's name during a phone conversation in Arabic said Monday he was degraded and humiliated and wants a public apology.
Khairuldeen Makhzoomi, who arrived in the U.S. in 2010 as an Iraqi refugee, was removed from the April 9 flight from Los Angeles to Oakland, California, after the airline said another Arabic-speaking passenger reported hearing him say something that alarmed her.

Didn't take this guy long to figure out how to milk the legal system. Really, you have to talk to your uncle in Iraq about a terrorist group in arabic on a US flight & expect no consequences. What a set up. Hope Southwest tells this guy to #$%$ off.
