Yeesh, that’s exceedingly naive. Bin Laden himself gave to Muslim charities. The key word, Muslim. They love Muslims and hate everyone else. Not to mention, they’re instructed to act as outwardly good and normal citizens in order to not raise suspicion about their real plans.
What is to stop Al Queda from training sleeper agents to become licensed pilots, who will one day be able to fly their planes into a target or into the ground as an act of terrorism, without requiring any hijacking? A sane country would never allow Muslims to become licensed pilots as long as Islamist terror remains a reality in the world.
It seems to me in this incident, the passengers had to have remained unaware there was a problem, since no phone calls were made at any time. I’m not sure if phone calls are always possible from these locations, but it seems like the plane was close to land at many times. To me that indicates the pilot(s) had to be the ones who “hijacked” the plane. Either that or other terrorists were able to incapacitate everyone on board, which seems impossible.
“Yeesh, that’s exceedingly naive. Bin Laden himself gave to Muslim charities.”
I didn’t say he gave to Muslim charities. He worked within his community, didn’t give money to terrorist organizations. Put his name in search and read about him - he was accepted as a very good man in his community.
I know the copilot was a regular mosque goer but I didn’t read the pilot was.
