How The Guardian Describes The United Airlines Capitulation

In The Guardian story, there is no mention of Tahera Ahmad’s preposterous tantrum over being given, like millions of others, a can of coke with the tab removed, no discussion of what the United authorities first said and then the pressures it was subject too — and fears, possibly, of being the target not only of a Muslim boycott but of Muslim anger expressed in more life-threatening ways, no discussion of why it is perfectly reasonable to believe that if the crew member, in the confusion of the brouhaha, hastily handed Ahmad’s seatmate his ordered beer without removing the top, being engaged in dealing with Tahera Ahmad — all this is left out, and what The Guardian presents is a “victory over Islamophobia,” rather than the display of aggressive hysteria by someone who is not only Muslim, but has expressed support for groups that not not all readers will find innocuous. Readers of The Guardian, one hopes, will inform themselves about all of this, and perhaps take their custom elsewhere.
