Family kicked off of flight because of harness. What does that have to do with their religion?


(the story so far, I could have the facts wrong but I believe this is true)  This family insisted on using a safety harness for their child which did not comply with the aircraft or airline or flight regulation safety rules.  Because of this, they were asked to leave the flight.  Now, someone please explain to me what does this have to do with religion????  NOTHING!  They were not kicked off of the flight because of the way they look, or because of their religion.  Why make false accusations???  UGH!   If I got kicked off of a flight for the exact same reason (child safety harness) could I accuse them of kicking me off of the plane because I am Caucasian or because i'm Christian???  Apparently I can because this family claimed the same thing (race and religion).

So... someone please prove to me that this has ANYTHING to do with religion.  Proof.  Not accusations, not generalizations, not theories.

A suburban Chicago family of five says they were kicked off of a United Airlines flight because they are Arab-American.
Eaman-Amy Saad Shebley, her husband and their three young kids were told they had to get off a flight from O’Hare International to Washington, D.C., because of a “safety of flight issue.”
The mother posted a video of her interactions with the plane’s crew on Facebook, and said that “Shame on you ‪#‎unitedAirlines for profiling my family and me for no reason other than how we look.”
She said the incident started when she asked a flight attendant about a harness for her child’s safety seat, and the video shows a flight attendant asking her "what's going on?"
Saad Shebley says before a man who appears to be the pilot comes and decides to kick her and her family off the aircraft.

Eaman-Amy Saad Shebley says she and her family were kicked off of a flight because they are Arab-American, though crew aboard the aircraft said that the family was booted for a "safety of flight" issue.

Her video has been viewed more than 1,500,000 times and shared on Facebook more than 30,000.
United Airlines said in a statement to WDIV that the family was removed from the planet “because of concerns about their child’s safety seat, which did not comply with federal safety regulations,” and that they were put on a later flight.
However, the family filed a complaint with the Council on American-Islamic Relations about the matter.
CAIR’s Dawud Walid said, “Unfortunately there’s a growing problem on airlines of Muslims being removed from flights when they cause no reasonable security concerns.”
