I say good for the airline! At least the British appear to be growing some stones!

“There is a tendency for some people to blame an entire community for the actions of individuals. It’s guilt by association.”

Wrong. Its guilt by cooperation.

The airline is guilty of common sense.

He asked staff if he could go in the galley area - which can be curtained off from passengers - and offer prayers before the flight took off

So, Allah doesn’t listen to quiet prayer, conducted in private?

Catch a clue, Mohammed. Britain has a right to be at least a bit overreactive.

Go to a church or synagogue to pray.
Go to an airplane to fly.
Go to a mosque to plot against evil western imperialist kaffirs.

Well, at least he asked.

Should have done it at home or his friendly, local mosque before heading to the airport, given the situation.

‘Course if he had any sense at all, he wouldn’t even be a muslim.

.....and offer prayers before the flight took off.

Prayers for what? Does he think that the Wright brothers were wrong?

However - according to our source - the flight attendant asked the plane's captain who promptly ordered the man off the aircraft.

The captain will probably be fired for acting prudently.

The ACLU doesn’t seem to find fault with Muslims wailing and yelling their prayers in public, but if a school offers prayer before the day starts, they will be forced (by the ACLU) straight into court. Or, heaven forbid, if someone says the Pledge of Allegiance with the words “Under God” - big trouble.

Why don’t they go after these ‘entitled’ Muslims?

Malaga seems like a less than ideal location for a strict Muslim vacation anyhow;)

If this happened in America, there’d be national coverage for about a year and the guy would sue for 50 trillion dollars.
