Going by their names I wouldn’t necessarily assume they were Muslim.
Something about them indicates non-Muslim Middle Easterners.
I want to say Lebanese, but need more info.
“Jonathan Khalid Petras” just doesn’t fit.

“Going by their names I wouldn’t necessarily assume they were Muslim.”

They were on their way to the 82nd Annual Assyrian Convention. According to Wiki:


Assyrian people (Syriac:), also known as Chaldeans,[35] Syriacs,[36] and Arameans,[37] (see names of Syriac Christians) are an Christian,[38] Semitic,[39] ethnoreligious group[39] indigenous to the Middle East.[40] Most Assyrians speak a Neo-Aramaic language,[41] whose subdivisions include Assyrian, Chaldean, Turoyo, and Western, as well as another language, dependent on the country of residence.[42]

The Assyrians are a Christian people, with most of them following various Eastern Rite Churches.
