‘Muslim terrorist’ on Air Malta plane turns out to be Caribbean Christian
by Noel Grima

The story that made the rounds of the world that a Muslim man was apprehended on an Air Malta plane when he persisted in praying out aloud in the aisle just as the plane was taxying to take off at London’s Heathrow Airport, now has to be revised.

It was a Caribbean Christian man, Maria Busuttil who was on the plane with him, told The Times. And the prayer he was chanting was the ‘Our Father’.

Yet even yesterday on In-Nazzjon, Brian Grech who had a hand in restraining the man, still insisted the man was an Arab Muslim.

Writing on The Times comment pages yesterday, Ahmed Sain wrote: “For all of you who made a comment yesterday on this subject, I think you got it all wrong regarding this man’s religion. Now you guys ask for forgiveness.”

I'm surprised we haven't seen from Fox News: "War on Christmas aboard Air Malta plane in London's Heathrow Airport"

Sounds like terrorism to me. Maybe not Muslim terrorism, but terrorism all the same.

I watched that last week & found that to be really scary, everyone should watch that video. Thanks for posting that JohnyCanuck!

I don't care if it's a hail mary, kaddish, salat or reciting the wiccan rede. Time and a place for everything folks, and that ain't it.

It doesn't matter what they are doing.

No one is to be in the aisle during taxi.

Peace on Earth, indeed.

I don't care if he was praying, singing, or doing yoga. During taxi, all pax are required to be seated.

“... 200 Christian passengers... must be...Simple.”

And fear-addled besides.

and should have been removed from the plane for that reason alone.

Any time. I do like to see the back stories as well as just reacting to the current one. Merry Whatever!

And praying at the top of your lungs during take off makes you a religious nut case.... regardless of the religion. Like Christians are not capable of terrorist acts. Unstable people should not be allowed to upset everyone else. (That goes for security personnel too)

:thumbsup:

The fear propaganda of all Muslim terrorism, completely glossing over the christofascist arms of the born "agin" terrorist element; and the fact that for any organized religious claptrap; the act was highly and dangerously inappropriate. To blame that ignorant act on whoever the big boogie man of the day and of the government, is, in itself criminal and sadly fits the mold of our daily, 24/7 dose of fear and propaganda pablum.

.....er...forget it.
