Two Muslim men -- who were forced off an airplane last May -- are suing Delta Air Lines Inc. and a regional carrier that operated the flight from Memphis, Tennessee to Charlotte, North Carolina, according to the Associated Press website.
The suit was filed today (December 19, 2011) in federal court against Delta and Atlantic Southeast Airlines Inc.
The suit claims that the pilot wanted Masudur Rahman and Mohamed Zaghloul off the plane because he thought their presence would make other passengers uncomfortable. The men are described in the suit as having beards and "traditional Arab clothing."
The two were traveling to a conference on anti-Muslim discrimination.
