YouTube star and serial prankster Adam Saleh, who has more than 1.6 million subscribers on his channel, posted a video on Twitter that appeared to show him being escorted from a Delta Airlines flight simply for speaking Arabic. However, people quickly grew suspicious and cast doubt on Mr Saleh’s posts.
Lawyer Arsen Ostrovsky tweeted: “Maybe some context be nice? How do we know this legit? Video doesn’t show the ‘before’.”
Muslim JammyDodger at @mrjammyjamjar3 had no doubts:
“So do us a favour @omgAdamSaleh, don’t do anything to help us Muslims cos we don’t want your help cos you’re a discredit to The Ummah.”
“The next time U hear that a Muslim was discrimated against on a plane,People gonna think,” Yeah Bullshit, made up story like Adam saleh’s”
“Muslims suffering Islamophobia when boarding planes, is real.”
“We don’t need fake wankers like Adam doing YouTube pranks to highlight this.”
“I don’t believe a word that Adam says.”
“He’s cried “Wolf” too often.”
And now the alt right are getting in on the act with this take on what allegedly happened:

Why do you think that video was a prank ?
Why has not the official account of Delta in Twitter stated anything ?

I think it is all a prank because that is exactly the kind of thing he has done before. So many people have been taken in. It plays into the hands of the alt right. It will all come out – you wait and see.

Speaking of hate crime hoaxers what do you think about
“Ann Arbor police say there is no evidence to support a Muslim University of Michigan student’s claim that a man threatened to light her on fire if she didn’t remove her hijab.”

My response: Got any proof? Any news clipping, police report? Any evidence what so ever to back up this claim? Its not that I don’t believe you, Its just that you’re a Muslim, and well as has been proven over, and, over, again, and again. Muslims lie and make stuff up.
You then go on to commit a fallacy that you accused me of on another thread. Even if you are right (which your not) that Christians made up stories about being persecuted, it does not change the fact that Muslims today continue to make commit crimes against each other and blame innocent Islamophobes, or they just make up crimes and blame innocent Islamophobia.

The son of a very prominent Muslim family in my home city was horribly killed by an Islamophobic psychopath, and believe me it was no hoax!! It was tragic, and senseless, and painful for the family, who suffered greatly and who I am also friends with. The entire Muslim community came out to grieve the loss of a boy who was already a Hafiz Al-Qur’an at such a young age, and had a bright future ahead of him.
I don’t know enough about Adam Saleh and his intentions to speak in regard to him. But I can say this, anyone who fakes news of persecution, hate crimes, and engages in such hoaxes is dishonest and deceitful and should be rebuked and exposed, regardless of religious affiliation or motive. It is wrong and not helpful, and it desensitizes people from caring at all when a real hate crime occurs. It is a disservice.
However, listing only Muslim hoaxes, as if to imply that there is some widespread Muslim conspiracy, does not negate real hate crimes that have actually occurred and continue to happen, which have often targeted Muslims (and others as well).
We have seen more than enough Christian news stories about faked persecution which have been going on even since the early origins of Christianity. Although such faked news stories are immoral and deceitful as well, it does not negate real instances of hate crimes toward Christians either. Blindly lashing out at anything and everything Islam, while turning a blind eye to the same thing happening in the Christian community does not serve the cause of truth, it is dishonest and deceitful as well, as it paints a skewed picture.
Here is some evidence of the same deceitful phenomena in some Christian circles:
