A university student was taken off a Southwest Airlines flight in Los Angeles after another passenger heard him speaking Arabic. The incident unfolded as Khairuldeen Makhzoomi, a 26-year-old University of California Berkeley student, was waiting for his flight from Los Angeles International Airport to Oakland to take off on April 6. <br />Makhzoomi, an Iraqi refugee, said he had called his uncle in Baghdad when he noticed a fellow passenger staring at him. The woman in front of him then reported him to Southwest staff and Makhzoomi was escorted off the plane.<br /><br />After his release, Makhzoomi took a later Delta Air Lines flight to Northern California and wants an apology from Southwest, said Billoo, who described the incident as a case of "flying while Muslim." <br /><br />------------------------------------------<br /><br />Subscribe to our channel: http://read.ht/fLZ<br /><br />Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/htTweets<br /><br />Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hindustantimes<br /><br />Watch more videos at: http://www.hindustantimes.com/video<br /><br />hindustantimes.com © 2015
