Flying while Muslim is a sardonic description of problems that Muslim passengers have faced on airplanes, during stopovers, or at airports in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. It is a snowclone inspired by "driving while black"—itself a snowclone of "driving while intoxicated"—which similarly satirizes racial profiling of African Americans by police and other law enforcement.
