A 40-year-old Muslim man, in an alleged case of discrimination, was removed from a plane after a flight attendant publicly announced his name, seat number and said she would be "watching" him. Mohamed Ahmed Radwan had boarded the flight from Charlotte, North Carolina to Detroit, Michigan last December when the incident occurred. The flight attendant is said to have announced, "Mohamed Ahmed, that is a very long name, seat 25-A, 'I will bewatching you". 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 matter came to light on Wednesday when the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) complained to transport authorities that Mohamed Ahmed Radwan was removed from the American Airlines Flight last December because of his "identifiably Arabic and Muslim name."
