Read the Iman US Airways complaint for yourself . . .

Obviously the complaint presents one side of the story, but it is nonetheless a good read.
The recitation of the facts on pp. 5-8 regarding the praying, changing seats, and requesting seatbelt extensions provides a somewhat different slant than what has been reported in media . . .

Somethings I learned were

-they bought round trip tickets

-their prayer was observed and presumably reported by older gentleman who made cell phone call

-one iman was gold member who had seat in first class, others sought upgrade to first class
-one iman was blind, and another successfully sought to switch seat with another passenger in order to sit close to blind iman
-the iman with first class seat offered to switch with the blind iman, who declined

-two imans requested seat belt extensions, the blind iman and the first-class iman, who routinely does so

-they were on the plane for some time before they were deplaned, indeed two imans had fallen asleep for about 30 minutes and awoke to observe police vehicle outside plane

The factual narrative of their custody after deplaning and US airways refusal to serve them after they had been cleared by security and released is also worth reading

They're brown people observing a "dangerous religion". They should have been shot on sight. :sarcasm:
