The U.S. airline AirTran apologized Friday to nine Muslim-American passengers from the Washington area who were removed from a flight out of Reagan National Airport on New Year's Day, but a Muslim civil rights group said it intends to press a discrimination complaint against the airline for its treatment of the passengers, the Washington Post reports.
Wajahat Ali, associate editor of AltMuslim, has an essay about the incident. Listen to an interview on NPR with one of Muslims taken off the plane.
