"...Using your power as the pilot of an airplane to advance your religious beliefs on a captive audience is, in my view, rude..."

Well, ok. No, it's rude for other people to prohibit Christians from publicly espousing their religion. It wasn't a revival, it was one comment, and one question. Maybe you're just troubled that it was Christian in nature because you've forgotten that God wants Christians to share the good word. If this had been a muslim, I would have been very shocked about it, because we're at war with muslims. That would have been inappropriate on a completely different level, one of patriotism. Any other religion would have been ok, though.

Do you believe that it is appropriate behavior to discuss your religious beliefs with perfect strangers, at any time, in any place? Common courtesy dictates that you do not use your power (such as the power held by this pilot) to espouse your views to a captive audience, especially when a reasonable person would know that people are nervous about flying these days and that anything out of the ordinary might really frighten people.

That's the inherent weakness in your position- you have no problem with hearing this pilot's Christian message because it does not bother you. You are bothered by a Muslim message, however. What about those passengers on the flight who might be bothered by a Christian message?

I'm not against what this guy said, I'm against the context in which he said it.

Remove the blinkers from your eyes.
This was obviously a trial run by al-Qaida so see just how far they can go. On the actual hi-jack it's be "All Jews raise their hands"
