Obviously, and I'll bet he yelled "Allah abkar" as he set the thing off.
According to the Ft Hood incident and PC, it's racism to think that
it's terrorism.
He got off alot luckier than he would have if he pulled that stunt on a plane I am on. I carry a carbon fiber dagger with me on every flight. I have had no problems getting it through security. If I ever had to use it onboard a plane I would just say I disarmed whoever I was struggling with.
I seriously doubt that he is Al Qaeda. If he is, they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Their intelligence is good enough that they know passengers will not put up with crap. I am all for anyone who tries this stupidity being carted off the plane in a bodybag. I would ask the flight attendents to toss a couple of ham sandwiches in the body bag for good measure.
I can only imagine how disapointed our President must be at the impotence of a fellow Muslim.
