No, I would not. This isn't a court of law, but an aircraft.

E Rocc was not in an aircraft. Nor was your dismissal of his views written from 30,000 feet.

These "imams" were acting in a clearly suspicious manner. This was their fault -

and likely intentional.

Based on what evidence?

No Muslim has the right to expect that performing one of their religious rituals in unison on an aircraft is NOT going to be viewed with suspicion.

No one has the right to expect that their suspicions of other passengers will be shared by the relevent and competent authorities.

Couple that with the very rude chattering in Arabic when they clearly speak English,

Ahh, the old Jewhater's slur, recycled for use against the Muslims: "Why do they speak Yiddish [or Arabic] when they can speak English? They must be trying to cheat me out of my money [or murder us all]!" You must be very proud of the intellectual company you keep.

This *is* American [sic]- and we recognize defenders and agents of our enemy, zimdog.

You can't even recognize the one you see in the mirror.

"E Rocc was not in an aircraft."

No, but the situation was. Based on the description, caution concerning this men was warranted.

"Based on what evidence? "

Based on the published sources.

"No one has the right to expect that their suspicions of other passengers will be shared by the relevent and competent authorities. "

Ah, but in this case - wisely - it was. You see, trust must be earned. Not only have Muslims in general not earned our trust, but they've been actively going negative on that account.

"Ahh, the old Jewhater's slur, recycled for use against the Muslims: "Why do they speak Yiddish [or Arabic] when they can speak English? "

This constant comparison between the the "plight" of Muslims and the Holocaust you use.... It doesn't work.

"You must be very proud of the intellectual company you keep. "

Ah, so anyone how doesn't automatically trust the followers of a fascist ideology bent on world domination is a "Nazi" to you.... This, of course, would make the Jihadists the "good guys" in your view.... Interesting side you've picked.

"You can't even recognize the one you see in the mirror."

You're standing behind me?
