'Maybe he was looking for the bathroom': Family defends Yemeni passenger who stormed cockpit
dailymail.co.uk ^ | May 10, 2011 | Daniel Bates

The Yemeni man who was wrestled to the floor after pounding on the cockpit door of a plane approaching San Francisco may have mistaken it for the bathroom.

Rageit Almurisi cannot speak English very well and could have misunderstood the signs inside the jet, his cousin claimed.

The maths teacher, who was heard yelling 'Allahu Akbar' as he allegedly battered the door, had also only been on three planes in his life and would have been unfamiliar with the layout.

His family also claimed that Almurisi, 28, suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and could also have reacted badly when an air stewardess told him to sit down.

His painful joint condition meant he had to take regular walks on flights, they claimed. ‘I would not be having that,’ his cousin Rageh Almoraissi said.

‘If a flight attendant has the nerve to grab me and try to force me to my seat, believe me, you would hear about other people having injuries.’

Almurisi sparked panic when he started yelling and banging on the cockpit door on American Airlines Flight 1561 from Chicago, just ten minutes before it was due to land on Sunday night, according to police.

But the suspect's cousin, Rageh, 29, said he was a university educated, easygoing person who had arrived in Northern California a year-and-a-half ago from Yemen in search of a better life.

He told the Bay Citizen newspaper he probably overreacted when he was told to sit down.

‘There's a lot of things I'm guessing, you know, I'm just trying to figure it out,’ said Rageh. ‘I know he wasn't trying to harm anyone. I know that for sure. He's not a terrorist. He's a nice guy.’

Muslims lie.

They apparently also believe that Americans are as stupid as our diseased legal system which is infested with the pathologies of political correctness, cowardice and unrestrained trial lawyers.

Yep, whenever my arthritis acts up and an infidel tells me to sit down I’m always going to yell Allah Hu Snackbar!

but even I know the difference in a cockpit door and a restroom door.. This same phrase could be used against the gay agenda.

They should at least put arrows on the floor directing passengers to the restooms.

Yeah, they could at least put a sign in Arabic on the
exit hatch that reads “Restroom”.

Ah, Muslim bravado. It's as stupid as ever.

“I always scream ALLAH AHKBAR! when I need to use the restroom.”

Maybe he really had to go, was waiting a long time, and that Allah Ahkbar really means: “Hey buddy, are you taking a leak in there, or draining all the blood out of your body?”

Heard that one waiting on line in the Shea Stadium men’s room. Classic!

Islamic toilet etiquette (according to wiki): A Muslim must first find an acceptable place away from standing water, or people's pathways or shade.[4] They are advised that it is better to enter the area with the left foot,[5] facing away from the Qiblah.[1] While on the toilet, one must remain silent. Talking, answering greetings or greeting others is strongly discouraged.[1] When defecating together, two men cannot converse, nor look at each other's genitals, and especially not handle each other's genitals.[6] A man should not touch his genitals with the right hand.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The Islamic prophet Muhammad specified that one should use an odd number of stones (preferably three) to cleanse the anal orifice after defecation and then proceed to a different location to wash it with water. Use of toilet paper in place of stones is now acceptable, but washing with water is still needed for ritual purity.[14] When leaving the toilet, one is advised to leave with the right foot,[5] and also say a prayer – "Praise be to Allah who relieved me of the filth and gave me relief."[1]

Now I'm REALLY rolling my eyes. Good grief. Yup. Really great religion.

Our vocabulary for no.2 is rapidly expanding. The first officially recognized synonym is an “Obama,” now the next is “ALLAH AHKBAR.”

That, and the safety card includes a diagram of the aircraft. Also, restroom doors do not usually have a sign at eye level reading “No Unauthorized personnel beyond this point” or similar verbiage. He is either a wannabe terrorist or a complete moron (please note, there are not mutually exclusive choices).
