A plane passenger allegedly invoked Islam’s strict Sharia law to avoid sitting next to a woman – then assaulted a female flight attendant who tried to smooth it out, according to reports.
The passenger – only identified as a 29-year-old Turkish migrant living in Germany – was arrested when his June 1 flight landed in Dusseldorf, Bild reported Thursday.
“According to initial witness statements, the man invoked Sharia law and refused to sit next to a woman,” a police spokesperson told Bild, referring to Islam’s strict codes.
When a female flight attendant tried to speak to him about it, the irate passenger punched or slapped her in the face, the report said.
Once arrested, the unidentified passenger confessed to the assault, according to cops.
But he only did so after first spitting insults at the federal cops interviewing them — not realizing one of them also spoke Turkish, according to officials.
He was charged with insulting the officers, along with assaulting the attendant
The passenger invoked Islam’s moral code to justify not wanting to sit next to a woman, even though it has no standing in Germany.

Muslims go to western countries because they are not happy in their motherland. Then they try to convert the new country to be same as their old country.
The nonsensical islam
Too bad he wasn’t on Pinochet Airlines where they could have made new travel arrangements mid-flight
I don’t think this guy will get any prison time. Perhaps a day or two in holding as he’s being processed. And that’s it.
Please see my post #7.
We are the ones who need the luck, not the g d muzzie.
Next time let the unruly passenger off at 30,000 feet, this madness will stop then
If we don't do it, the Chinese will eventually get around to it.
They need a dump door on planes, then when they are over large body of water or forest, they can eject that kind of garbage.
Yep, not there. Neither is insulting politicians. Apparently there’s some right to not be offended. It’s astonishing dialog that led to free nations ever happened. And these people think they’re superior to us.
As soon as it started Sharia lawing they should known it was mentally unstable and a danger to the plane
He might get a slap on the wrist if he did this on a bus or a train, dealing with a municpal transit agency, but when it comes to commercial airliners, the authorities will come down hard on him.
Acting up is bad enough but assaulting a flight attendant is a whole other level.
“I was born in Dusseldorf, and that is why they call me Rolf!”
Ship him home to his motherland.
In a cardboard box.
Yep, attitude adjustment or altitude adjustment. His choice.
Send him back to Turkey. Everyone wins.
He didn’t feel like raping an infidel today?
Shariah law allows him to do that, too
Yep. Yet another reason I'm glad and grateful to be American.
Now, assaulting and battering the FA is another matter entirely. Shove the SOB out the door, sez I ...
“Ship him home to his motherland”
Maybe just part of him.
Sharia Law is their problem not ours
