OTOH, if he was putting down a prayer rug in the middle of the aisle and checking a GPS to make sure he was facing east, well, that's going to get other peoples' attention and the airlines can't take any chances. I'm sure if some Christian started walking up and down the aisle loudly quoting scripture from Revelations, the same thing might have happened.
It's too bad it happened to him, but if he has special needs at special times, he needs to work his travel schedule around that.
Well, if he's allowed in the aisle, I will suddenly get a hankering for walking up and down the aisle several times, using him as a carpet if necessary.
And since "in your face" muslim prayer is indistinguishable from assault, I might decide to either begin very loud Christian prayers myself, or anti-muslim "mohamed eats **** " chants.
Right. Sure. Of course, it's well known that fundamentalist Christians are running around the globe blowing up All Things Non-Christian and sawing the heads off of Muslims and other on-Christians to the gleeful cries of "Praise to be to God!", etc. etc. The mere sight of a Christian professing his or her faith would be enough to engender an emergency landing, by golly.........you bet, son.
What utter, complete bullshit. I suppose you weren't in the debate club in high school.....
