This is an outrage! Who ever heard of a “man who appeared to be of Middle Eastern descent” engaging in an act of terror in an airport? “Muslim rights group cries foul over MSP security drill,” by Paul Walsh for the Star Tribune, May 23 (thanks to J.): A national Muslim civil rights group is […]
Judge denies bail to Muslim who shouted “Allahu akbar” and charged cockpit on flight to San Francisco
He charged the cockpit twice, shouting “Allahu akbar.” Thus the judge had no choice but to reject the bathroom defense. “Judge denies bail for passenger who roiled Calif. flight,” from the Associated Press, May 11: SAN FRANCISCO “” A Yemen native who disrupted a San Francisco-bound flight was portrayed by prosecutors yesterday as a dangerous […]
Muslim who rushed cockpit on American Airlines flight was screaming “Allahu akbar”; “Authorities do not yet have a motive”
This one is a real head-scratcher. What on earth could have motivated a Muslim who started screaming “Allahu akbar” and pounding on the cockpit door? It’s a big, deep, wide mystery, but I’m telling you, he just wanted more pretzels. An update on this story. “Suspect in flight disturbance had Calif. ID,” from the Associated […]
US Airways Captain on flying imams incident: “I can promise you the captain didn’t throw those people off because of the way they were dressed. There’s more to the story.”
These imams are demanding all sorts of concessions. It is interesting to note that the orthodox Jews who were removed from a plane in March are not crying victimhood, not claiming racial profiling, not trying to weaken airport security. The contrast is illuminating. An update on this story. “Captain Backs Pilot Who Kicked Muslims Off […]
Another imam claims airport profiling
And — purely coincidentally — he was, like the flying imams who made national news a few days ago, on this way to a conference on “Islamophobia.” Abdul-Latif’s victimhood complaint is so flimsy and obviously concocted that even a veteran whiner like Hamas-linked CAIR’s Ibrahim “Honest Ibe” Hooper “suggested it was possible technical problems, rather […]
Yemeni man rushes cockpit on American Airlines flight approaching San Francisco
Maybe he just wanted more pretzels. “Crew subdues man banging on cockpit during flight,” from The Associated Press, May 9 (thanks to Bill): SAN FRANCISCO””Crew members and passengers wrestled a 28-year-old man to the cabin floor after he began pounding on the cockpit as an American Airlines flight approached San Francisco, the third security incident […]
Imams en route to conference on “Islamophobia” pulled off plane, compare selves to Rosa Parks
We have yet to hear the pilot’s side of the story, but this situation smells bad for several reasons, not least of which is the curious coincidence of the imams’ travel plans to a conference on the concocted phenomenon of “Islamophobia.” We have seen provocative behavior by “flying imams” before, as well. And in any […]
“Man from Kazakhstan” overpowered trying to hijack Alitalia flight to Libya
Probably not him Was he trying to join the jihad in Libya? Or was he actually planning to fly the plane into some landmark? Or is he actually a Kazakh Methodist driven by Christian extremism, and this has nothing to do with jihad at all? Time will tell — or at least it will if […]
Chicago: Three “Middle Eastern men” cause flight to make emergency stop after “strange goings on in the back of the plane”
This may have been a dry run or some sort of test; in any case, whatever it was, Hamas-linked CAIR is likely to be on it soon, using it as a weapon to weaken airport security — which will have the effect (unintended, no doubt) of making jihadists’ work easier. “3 ‘Strange’ Men Cause Flight […]
Why did al-Qaeda target flight to Detroit with underwear bomber? It was cheaper.
Detroit can’t seem to catch a break: even jihadists are taking advantage of its depressed economy. Thankfully, the area was spared the economic damage that likely would have come with a successful jihadist attack. “For al-Qaida, Detroit was just the cheapest flight,” by Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo for the Associated Press, March 24 (thanks […]
