“Three Arab princesses were thrown off a packed British Airways flight after refusing to sit next to male passengers they didn’t know.
The dispute - in which the three princesses from the ultra-conservative Qatar royal family demanded segregated seating - left the London-bound plane delayed on a baking Italian runway for nearly three hours.”
Quote From the Daily Mail
I find many of the religious beliefs of my friends and family ridiculous, but I really don’t care what superstitions they subscribe to as long as they don’t inconvenience me.
I understand that it’s against the religious convictions of the Arab princesses to sit next to strange men, but they shouldn’t expect an airline to inconvenience others in order to accommodate their religious beliefs.
On most flights passengers are packed like sardines, and it’s next to impossible to grant requests of the type made by the Arab princesses.
If these Arab prima donnas are so holy that they can’t sit next to men they don’t know, then they should stick to traveling by camel. Although, who knows, it may be against their religion to sit on a male camel.
“According to the customs of Qatar and other Gulf states, women are not allowed to mix with men who are not relatives.
Cabin crew tried to rearrange the seats but passengers traveling together refused to give up their allotted places. The captain tried to mediate but after more than two and a half hours of wrangling he ordered the bulk of their royal party off the plane.”
Quote from the Daily Mail
I applaud the passengers for refusing to give up their seats; the filthy rich Muslim women can afford to charter their own jet.
I’m glad the captain kicked the Muslim women to the curb, but I’m disappointed he wasted almost three hours arguing with them.
