(IsraelNN.com) A plane headed from LaGuardia Airport to Louisville made an emergency landing at Philadelphia International Airport Thursday morning because a 17 year old man on a plane was praying with tefillin, or phylacteries. According to Fox News, the man was questioned by airline personnel, who “didn't get answers to satisfy them” and diverted the plane to Philadelphia.

Torah, The Stone Edition

Deuteronomy 11:18:

"You shall place these words of Mine upon your heart and upon your soul; you shall bind them for a sign upon your arm and let them be an ornament between your eyes."

11:19:

"You shall teach them to your children to discuss them, while you sit in your home, while you walk on the way, when you retire and when you aries.

11:20:

"And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and upon your gates."

You ain’t True. You ain’t a fan of a Republic. And you ain’t a Patriot.

Patriots have Common Sense. You do not.

That’s wise of you.

"IF MY LIPS ARE MOVING BUT I AM NOT TALKING TO YOU, I AM PROBABLY PRAYING"

Perhaps some discretion is in order.

The last thing we expect is a joke from a Transportation Security Administration screener - particularly one this stupid.

Followers of Jesus often think Paul was exagerrating when he told the Thessalonians to pray without ceasing. Paul was a Jew, even when he wrote this. He knew what he was saying. Keep the faith!

No, you have to watch out for islamofascist suicide bombers that pretend to be jews. They do it all the time in Israel.

Excellent point.
