We should revoke Qatar’s dimplomatic immunity unless and until Qatar prosecutes and imprisons this guy.

To the tobacco Nazis, smoking a cig on a plane is WORSE than trying to blow it up.

Mohammed is an odd name for a Methodist.

Solution: ban Muslims from flying on commercial airliners.

Make pigskin the standard seat cover on commercial airliners and serve pork rinds as snacks and pork chops or ribs for dinner.

Just reported that it appeared he was attempting to light his shoes, but only because he was “possibly trying to cover up another smell.”

Arabs exhibit strong nosehair curling BO.  I should know, I sat next to an Iranian on a flight between Amsterdam and Minneapolis in 2007.

I guess you’re right, after all, he kept them from doing what they wanted - now they are in revenge mode.

The Kaaba is the building where the “meteorite” is kept. It’s not a meteorite, but is impact glass from a meteorite strike on sand.

He is deported, period, unless his sponsoring country waives the protection.

My guess is the Administration is more interested in protecting relations with Qatar than in prosecuting Islamic terrorists, so they made up this cock and bull story.

“..tried to set his shoes on fire..”

There ARE better ways to cure athlete’s foot, and even a Muslim should know that.

Shouldn’t they?

I thot Barry was going to help us to all get along thru his eloquent rhetoric? Yet, we have had more of these incidents in past year than in all 8 years....

What happen to the infallibility of full-body scanners? Did they not have one in DC? Or did his diplomatic immunity allow him to skip the scans to which all of us law-abiding citizens in fly-over country must submit :(
