PHILADELPHIA -- A misunderstanding about an Orthodox Jewish prayer ritual led a US Airways Express captain to divert his Kentucky-bound plane to Philadelphia on Thursday, authorities said.

A 17-year-old boy on Flight 3079 traveling from New York to Louisville was using tefillin, a set of small black boxes attached to leather straps and containing biblical passages, said Philadelphia police Lt. Frank Vanore.

LOL. Now that is rich! Please take a moment to reread your comments on this thread.

The arrogance and lack of self recognition continues.

Show me a snarky comment I made on this thread.

BTW, my claim is about your ENTIRE posting history - not just this thread.

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” and Amen!

...and who is a Jew?

For he is not a Jew that is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that outwardly in flesh; but he is a Jew that is one inwardly, and circumcision is of heart, in spirit, not in letter; of whom the praise is not from men, but from God.

context of scripture found here:

http://www.bibletree.com/cgi-bin/EnglishBible.htm

Matthew 1:1 The Book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the Son of David, the son of Abraham:

Luke 23:38 And also an inscription was written over Him, in Greek and Latin and Hebrew letters: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

...see post #63 for more scriptures regarding Jesus being a Jew.

He can pray without strapping stuff to his head on an airliner. That’s just ignorant.

Try reading the rest of the thread before making a complete ass of yourself at the very end of it.

Or if not the thread, at the very least the Bible itself, at Deuteronomy 6:8.

What’s next? Confiscating rosary beads from habit-clad nuns?

Try reading up on an incident called 9/11. There are a lot of you 9/10 folks in the world. Pardon the rest of the world for being suspicious when a guy starts strapping things to his body on an airliner. I know you 9/10 people think that is harmless but the rest of us think it is idiotic, even if you are a member of a weird cult that requires you to so such stuff to appease your g_d.

Calling me a 9/10er is even more ridiculous than your disparagement of a millenia-old mode of Jewish prayer conducted on a flight originating from La Guardia.
