Halal Things Considered: Jon Stewart

Watch Jon Stewart tackle the recent claim of discrimination aboard a United Airlines flight.

A Muslim woman, a Muslim American chaplain at Northwestern University, who was wearing a hijab, asked for an unopened can of coke but the stewardess refused, telling the professor that the can could be used as a weapon. Meanwhile, she served the white gentleman next to the chaplain an unopened can of beer.

Here’s the story of the claim from CNN and the Los Angeles Times.
