An Ohio man who became loud and disruptive aboard a flight from Miami to Detroit -- at one point shouting ``kill all the Jews'' -- was removed from the airplane and taken into custody by Miami-Dade police.
The man arrested was identified as Mansor Mohammad Asad, 43. Police say he caused a ``disturbance,'' forcing the pilot to decide to return to the jet-bridge.
When Asad was taken off the plane to be interviewed by police, he threatened officers, made racial comments and charged an officer, authorities said.
Asad was charged with threats against a public servant, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer without violence to his person.
The action taken by officials on the Delta Airlines flight comes at a time of heightened security at U.S. airports following the foiled attempt by a Nigerian to blow up an airplane on Christmas Day.
FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said the bureau was notified and concluded it was a local police matter.
On Wednesday, the crew aboard the flight scheduled to leave at 5:45 p.m. from Miami International Airport decided to return the flight to its gate, where police took four passengers into custody, according to Homeland Security spokeswoman Sari Koshetz.
She said four passengers were taken off a plane from Miami to Detroit after making ``inappropriate remarks and acting disruptively.''
Police did not release any information about the other passengers.
After the passengers were removed, those onboard were rescreened and the flight was cleared for departure.
According to Miami-Dade police, here's what happened:
The plane was taxiing when the captain decided to return to the jet-bridge.
Passengers on the plane told police Asad was ``loud and disruptive, using anti-Semitic references such as, `I'm Palestinian and I want kill all the Jews,' '' Miami-Dade police Detective Javier Baez said in a statement.
Asad was speaking in a foreign language, thought to be Arabic.
He was taken off the plane and searched, police said. While they tried to search him, he berated officers and made racist comments.
According to the arrest affidavit, Asad said: `` `I'm not afraid of you cops. I've gotten in fights with cops in Ohio and broke their arms in three places. I've broken skulls too.' ''
He then prayed and chanted, before telling a cop to ``Go back to Africa, you white racist cop!''
Asad was searched, but officers did not find any weapons or explosives.
During the search, his socks and shoes were removed. An officer took off Asad's right handcuff so he could put them back on.
When the officer did that, Asad once again started yelling at the officers.
He ``stood up and rolled his sleeves up. He then clenched his fists and charged,'' toward an officer, the report said.
He wouldn't stop and an officer used a Taser on him. Asad fell to the ground, but did not listen to officers' commands and then tried to stand up. A Taser was used a second time.
He was then handcuffed and taken to the jail.
Local police matter?? Ridiculous.....
Of course with all these pattycake charges, he can lawyer up, clam up and never be sweated to see which jihadi cell in the USA he was influenced by.
Its a damn shame that the only Water Boards in America are running public utilities.
People like this need to go away to a very bad place for a very long time.
Let’s not jump to conclusions. CAIR and our current administration would say that he was just having a bad day. /sarcasm on.
Bingo.....!!!
“Thought to be Arabic...” How PC of them, they only “thought” it. Don't say it, it might be offffennnsiiive. Well, there ya go, and there goes the nation!
“Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. Move along...”

No surprise, that wasn't too far off.
Behold another "isolated extremist," Mr. President. ("Let's not jump to conclusions.")
But seriously, I think these incidents are being stepped up because they are making trial runs.
Damn Muzzies may not even allow Zer0 to pass universal healthcare before the next major incident.
Don’t be surprised if this is the start of a trend. Smells like a strategy to me .... disrupt air travel and terrorize the infidel passengers at little risk to themselves. Remember the flying Imams?
I don't know about now but years ago when I lived there had that plane had "all the Jews" it would have left large parts of Miami Beach virtually abandoned. That was back in the days when a local joke was "What is the longest bridge in the world?" And the answer was "The MacAuthor Causeway, it runs from Miami Beach to Israel."
Jean Reno!
No!
What are they going to do to us now? Duck tape our mouths shut before boarding? Random psychological “interviews”. Show us photos of, you name it, animals, colors, terrain, people, and then record our response. Watch this one take off.
I wish these idiot reporters would learn how to write. Was this the same flight, or an earlier flight? I THINK it was the same flight, but I'm not certain. And what did the other three (or four?) passengers do to get removed from the plane? No information at all. Were they Muslims, too? One can only guess.
Also, it says that the perp was screaming that he wanted to kill all the Jews in Arabic. How did they understand what he said? Or did he also speak in English? Again, the story is totally unclear. Almost certainly he spoke mostly in English, but who knows? The reporter certainly doesn't make it clear.
All they teach you in journalism school, apparently, is to bow down to Marx.
Could be...Mansor M. O'Hammed.. /snic
A blatant example of profiling! Not everyone who proclaims the desire to kill off another ethnic group is necessarily ill-willed. Call the ACLU! (/SARC)
Notice that the destination of this flight, as well as the Christmas Day flight, was Detroit. Heavy Muslim presence there. Trial. Jury. Same result we will see in NY with the Gitmo transferees.
Public and law enforcement will get skittish about making arrests. They win.
Nah....The Republicans put him up to it.
