Remember also that the pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah (the one wearing the “Democracy Is Dead” t-shirt in the photo), was a “fanatical” supporter of Anwar Ibrahim. ” That is telling: “Anwar Ibrahim’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood run deep. Ibrahim helped establish the International Institute for Islamic Thought, or IIIT, a Muslim Brotherhood front group in the United States. IIIT has come under fire for their connections with terrorist organizations. In 2002, Anwar Ibrahim’s IIIT was included in a lawsuit by victims of 9/11 seeking damages from organizations linked to ‘rendering material support to radical Islamism.’ In 2003, US government prosecutors ‘submitted court documents detailing financial support (PDF) from the IIIT for convicted Palestinian Islamic Jihad fundraiser Sami al-Arian.’ They also found that Taha Jaber al-Alwani, the president of IIIT had once stated via a fatwa that ‘jihad is the only way to liberate Palestine.’ A US Customs official said that the government is also looking into the possibility that IIIT was involved in ‘terrorism-related money laundering activities.’”
“Malaysia: Files were deleted from flight simulator,” by Ian Mader for the Associated Press, March 19:
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Investigators are trying to restore files deleted last month from the home flight simulator of the pilot aboard the missing Malaysian plane to see if they shed any light on the disappearance, Malaysia’s defense minister said Wednesday.
Hishammuddin Hussein told a news conference that the pilot, Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah, is considered innocent until proven guilty of any wrongdoing, and that members of his family are cooperating in the investigation. Files containing records of simulations carried out on the program were deleted Feb. 3, Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu said.
It was not immediately clear whether investigators thought that deleting the files was unusual. They will want to check those files for any signs of unusual flight paths that could help explain where the missing plane went.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 with 239 people aboard disappeared March 8 on a night flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Malaysian authorities have not ruled out any possible explanations, but have said the evidence so far suggests the flight was deliberately turned back across Malaysia to the Strait of Malacca, with its communications systems disabled. They are unsure what happened next and why.
Investigators have identified two giant arcs of territory spanning the possible positions of the plane about 7½ hours after takeoff, based on its last faint signal to a satellite — an hourly “handshake” signal that continues even when communications are switched off. The arcs stretch up as far as Kazakhstan in central Asia and down deep into the southern Indian Ocean.
Police are considering the possibility of hijacking, sabotage, terrorism or issues related to the mental health of the pilots or anyone else on board, and have asked for background checks from abroad on all foreign passengers.
Hishammuddin said such checks have been received for all the foreigners except those from Ukraine and Russia — which account for three passengers. “So far, no information of significance on any passengers has been found,” Hishammuddin said….
Which contradicts previous published reports, but this whole affair is enveloped in confusion.

How can there be any doubt about what happened? Now to find a whole plane or pieces, the evidence is in, and no, all are not innocent until proven guilty, not when Islam is involved.
MrSquat says
so what happened?
Tradewinds says
Islam happened.
mortimer says
Hours before the Malaysia Airlines flight vanished en route to Beijing on March 8, Anwar, de facto leader of the People’s Justice Party, was sentenced to five years in jail after a court overturned his 2012 acquittal on a sodomy charge.
Some media outlets have reported that the plane’s pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, had attended the court hearing, and speculated that the flight’s disappearance may have been a political act in response to the verdict.
MrSquat says
Not much of a political statement. A jihadist would have calmly, normally piloted the airliner to Beijing and then crashed it without warning at the last moment. No doubt the disappearance of the plane is Islam/Muslim ‘hood -related, but its not clear exactly how.
Buraq says
@ Mr Squat
Israel has just tightened up the protocols for aircraft entering Israeli airspace. And the Israeli government has publicly stated that it suspects an Iranian hand behind the disappearance of Flight MH370.
So, while hitting Beijing might have been a suitable target, hitting Jerusalem or Tel Aviv would be much more spectacular.
But the clowns behind this hijack won’t succeed. Israel is not a supine Western State.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
One interesting theory afoot is that the 777 was hijacked for the communist Chinese, who could save years with such a specimen hidden in a hangar in the Celestial Kingdom for use in reverse engineering.
Well, the Persians have gotten tight with the communist Chinese of late, so in theory they could be involved in such a theft operation, they’d get a whole lotta quid pro quo for such a delivery. And theft is no problem, after all the Holy Prophet spent a good part of his every working day focused on stealing the property of others, back in his day that was mainly the Jews but there were also the pagan Arabians from whom to steal.
Conspiracy theories are delectable. I was a big OJ trial fan, but this is even better with the pro-Jihadi captain and his hand built flight simulator.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Aw now c’mon, Mort, you saying that Anwar, a bigshot leader in the Moslem community, is a sodomist?! Well, Nobel Laureate Yasir Arafat was, so I don’t see why not.
Joel says
Just curious–I had not read that Arafat was into sodomy. Was he a giver ( top) or receiver (bottom) or both? Is it known?
Just idle curiosity-I despise Muslims
Bettina says
Never saw that piece of gossip about that evil cockroach Arafat. Where did you see that info?

If this is accurate, it should come as no surprise—this is very, very common among Muslims.
Transmaster says
Why in the world would China want to “reverse engineer” an 777 when 3 Chinese airlines fly them now.
gravenimage says
This is true, Transmaster.
And even if they didn’t already have such planes themselves, the Chinese (for better or worse) are masters at obtaining and replicating technology.
The idea that they would have to hijack an airliner to achieve this is way off base.
Bettina says
Very interesting information, Mortimer!
Ismail Mohamed says
A valuable piece of information that can and should be made widely known to all non-Muslims who have no idea about the religious aspect of Islam in order to shove it in the faces of muzzies to disprove their deeply held false belief, hopefully making a considerably larrge number of muzzies leave Islam, that Islam is the only monotheistic religion which they zealously boast and exploit to successfully gain converts who are ignorant of the theology of Judaism which is the other monotheistic (but non-proselytizing) religion: is that the Qu’ran in Chapter 9 (surat Al Tawba سورة التوبة ), verse 30 claims that Jews worship someone called Ezra(‘Uzair’ ,عزير) as the son of god which is not true as the Hebrew Bible uses this term in a figurative sense to refer to certain characters, none of them is called Ezra or ‘Uzair’.
Mr. Robert Spencer, how many total hard-copies of your books exposing Islam for the death cult it is, such the ” politically incorrect guide to Islam…and the Crusades” have been sold in America and the west, at large? I could have used google to find out but I figured it would be easier and time-saving to ask you directly and receive an accurate figure for an answer. Also, what’s the total estimated number of westerners who have visited this site once, at least. BareNakedIslam keeps a reader count on the right side of the screen, but you don’t;that’s why I am inquiring.I googled to find an estimate of how many Americans have access to cable TV news which is about one third of Americans and the view ratings of Fox News which held about 38% share ,by the end of 2013, of cable TV news viewership and which is the only MSM outlet that is not as hopelessly and dangerously PC in their news stories and talk shows regarding piIslam and its followers. Multiply 33% by 38 and you get 12.5 % that is the percentage of Americans who watch Fox news on a regular basis. So apart from Fox News and BNI, I am interested in finding out many Americans and westerners, in general, have been been awaken to the reality of Islam as a militant totalitarian Theo-political ideology thanks to your counter-Jihad works of literature and journalism. I hope at least a significant minority of westerners have been informed of the real Islam by your and fellow counter-jihadists’ honorable and courageous publicity. A hearty thanks for you Mr. Spencer for devoting much for your valuable time and putting your life on the line as a leading renown counter-jihadist. Keep up your amazing work and watch your back, the enemies of liberty and truth have put you in their cross-hairs.

I can only hope and pray that they find this plane soon so that the families, and the world at large, can get answers and closure surrounding it’s mysterious disappearance. The whole thing is driving me nuts, so I can only imagine what the poor families are experiencing.
Bettina says
Many of us are “driven nuts” by the sheer ongoing repetition and drilling of this mystery into our consciousness, and by pundits who talk a lot but add very little. Now the families, on the other hand, are kept riding a wild roller-coaster of imagining death to their beloveds, then grabbing at straws to prove they’re hijacked but alive; then spiraling back down to unthinkable hell again.
These successive traumas are the insane torture they’re subjected to. No others, here in the comfort of our TV-watching sofas, can ever fathom what that is like.
Bren says
Hi Robert, just to clarify a point that might be misunderstood by most readers here.
The “Democracy is dead” slogan on the pilot’s T-shirt is a slogan in response to the 13th Malaysian General election where most people people believed was rigged. The “Democracy is dead” slogan is used by Muslims and non-Muslims Malaysians alike. I can assure you that it has nothing to do with an Islamic supremacist ideology of wanting to impose the Shariah and ruin democracy.
Besides that although Anwar Ibrahim might have Muslim Brotherhood ties, many Malaysians believe that his sodomy conviction is a political conviction by the ruling party to quash any dissent.
Steffen Larsen says
“Democracy is Dead”, nice piece of info there, Bren. Thanks.
voegelinian says
“the 13th Malaysian General election where most people people believed was rigged. ”
LOL; as if a thoroughly diseased and corrupt Islamic polity like Malaysia ever had a fair election in its miserable Mohammedan history.
Mazo says
And the Philippines, a non-Muslim southeast asian country, suffers from even worse corruption and rampant embezzlement and flouting of the law by officials and police.
Corruption in developing second and third world countries has nothing to do with religion- it has to do with them being second or third world. Malaysia and the Philippines suffer from the same disease as many other countries of different religions.

Mazo wrote:

…………………………….
Actually, Mazo has the the wrong way ’round.
The fact is that there is not a single Muslim country that is *not* riddled with corruption and sketchy elections—if it has them at all.
The fact is that a handful of countries like Malaysia and Indonesia and Turkey—all countries still influenced by fairly strong vestiges of non-Muslim law—are *as good as it gets* in Dar-al-Islam.
Are there corrupt non-Muslim nations? Sure. But it is not the norm as it is in the Muslim world.
And why is this? Because there is no Islamic concept of democracy, of minority rights, or of the rights of the individual.
Instead, the ideal under Islamic law is that the biggest thug crushes his rivals and imposes Shari’ah law—this goes back to the “Prophet”.
The most devout Muslims condemn even the sketchy democracy of places like Malaysia as “un-Islamic”. Some few—like the Muslim Brotherhood—are willing to temporarily use the trappings of democracy to seize power, but that is as far as it goes.
Hawy says
Thanks Dan Triplett for the info. As Cornholia wrote, “devout Muslim, aka certifiably insane”, Dawkins was chided for using ‘delusion’ to describe a belief in god. Well I for one would at least give more credence to Dawkins’ chosen word for such beliefs if this Malaysian Pilot is found to be the mastermind behind this unthinkable act of madness, I mean, only a certifiable nutjob would throw away a seemingly good life, his/her children and all loved ones just to appease an imagined entity.

Regarding a belief in God as a ‘delusion’ is acceptable.
Pretending that Christians, and Jews, and Hindus, and Buddhists, and other people of faith are just as apt to engage in the mass-murder of innocent people in the name of their faith? Not if one wants to be considered a rational—and moral—actor.

jewdog says
Well, I hope the files reveal his secret destination and we’ll locate the plane. If it’s a secret copy of “The Truth About Mohammad” then he probably couldn’t take the truth and committed suicide.
Thinking From First Principles says
Those with access to the satellite data through Boeing know the plane’s location much better than we are being told. You start from the last reliable location as given by Malaysian military radar. Look at the time of the first handshake after this. You know the cruising speed of the 777 and the time difference so you can plot a circle centered on that location, and the plane has to be within that circle. So then plot the satellite circle for that handshake, and when you overlay it, it should intersect that first circle in two places. The planes should be at or near one of those two locations. You can do this for each successive handshake, and you should be able to rule out which of the two paths it did not take by looking at the series over time … or at least narrow things down to two distinct endpoints give or take a couple of hundred miles, not the thousands it would seem from only plotting the last handshake.
In fact, what becomes interesting is to see if one sequence follows along a known flight corridor, and tracks closely with another flight that might have been shadowed by MH470. The radars along the route probably do not have the resolution to distinguish the silent shadow from the legitimate flight with a much higher power active transponder in operation. And this would then allow the jet to flight right through what has been described as heavily controlled airspace.
Transmaster says
I believe the US Navy knows more then they are letting on. P3 Orions of the Royal Australian Navy,and P-8A Poseidons, and P3 Orions of the US Navy are searching the South Indian Ocean. I understand the P-8A has surface search radar that can spot a beer can floating on the water 50 or more miles away. If it was crashed into the water in the area we are talking about up to 23,000 foot depths.
Tommy Peters says
Observation. The Old Order has always been consistent with modernity, but yet its syntax conflicts with contemporary vocabulary. As in all roads, MH370 leads to the prized baby.
China has learnt that her power to veto Assad’s R2P is neither her’s nor Russia’s, and being a client state herself, perhaps she will obey her Globalist master the next time around. Asia’s powerhouse, whose Xingjian was asked to do the dirty, is let off the hook this time around, while Malaysia and her exemplary Muslim pilots are being ‘fed to the Panda.’
Once the free-fall equation of 911, that resulted in the 9-second powder production, is infused in the psyche, the language of a controlled demolition will begin to unravel; and as you completely wean off Islamophobia, the seductive ‘greenish’ opiate that we ingested the past decade, the drum-roll of the prized baby will begin to captivate the audience.

Ah…right. I’m no fan of Communist China, but they have never been in the habit of hijacking airplanes. Would that we could say the same thing of pious Muslims…
That so many of the passengers were Chinese citizens makes this even more unlikely. Try again, sparky…

Mass murder does not please God.
Indeed, Muslim worship and sacrifice is not pleasing to God at all.
Not now, not ever.
I desire mercy, not sacrifice.
And true devotion and obedience, not burnt offerings.
Repeated three times in our scriptures.
Disregarded constantly by the Ummah.
Profane worship leads to profane acts.
Let the self-righteous, anti-humanistic pilot think on this as he is being judged.

That would make a great movie title, and a great movie: imagine a team of elderly stars like Tommy Lee Jones, Clint Eastwood, James Garner, Sly Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Don Johnson and Sean Connery as Silverbacks — that is, whenever the PC MC establishment ruling Hollywood recovers the patriotism from its great Bogart WW2 days it lost long ago.
