Canada: Muslim arrested after flight escorted back to Toronto — said on plane, “I just want to bomb Canada”

Jul 25, 2014 4:45 pm By Robert Spencer

TorontoPlane“I just want to bomb Canada,” said Ali Shahi. Of course, it probably has nothing to do with Islam, but is wholly and solely attributable to the illegal Zionist occupation of Toronto.

“25-year-old passenger arrested after Sunwing flight escorted back to Toronto,” by Kendra Mangione, CTVNews.ca, July 25, 2014 (thanks to David):

A 25-year-old Canadian man is in custody after two U.S. fighter jets escorted a Panama-bound flight back to Toronto on Friday.

The Sunwing plane was forced to turn around when a passenger said he wanted to bomb Canada, eyewitnesses reported.

Flight 772 departed from Toronto at 7 a.m. Friday, heading toward Panama City with 181 passengers, two infants and a crew of six on board.

Passenger Bettina Bathe told CTV Toronto the incident unfolded not long after takeoff when a flight attendant came by to pass out headsets.

“He basically just tore a strip off her, explaining how expensive the cigarettes are here in Canada, he hates Canada,” Bathe said.

“Then he said, with great expression using his hands, ‘I just want to bomb Canada.'”

Following procedure, the flight was then diverted back to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, about 45 minutes into the flight, escorted by two fighter jets.

NORAD confirmed to CTV that two F-16 jets were already in the air for training when they left their exercise to escort Sunwing Flight 772 back to Pearson as a precautionary measure.

It landed safely at Toronto’s Pearson around 8:55 a.m., where the flight was met by authorities.

Passenger footage obtained exclusively by CTV Toronto captured armed tactical police officers boarding flight 772 once it landed.

The Criminal Investigations Bureau interviewed the man, who has been identified as Ali Shahi, at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.

Peel police said he’s been charged with mischief to property, mischief interfering with lawful enjoyment of property, uttering threats and endangering the safety of an aircraft.

Shahi is scheduled to appear in a Brampton, Ont., courtroom at 9 a.m. on Saturday.

The flight is scheduled to depart for Panama again this afternoon and complimentary meals will be provided for passengers. The flight’s status is available on Sunwing Airlines’ website.

    Somebody needs to ask if the F16s were armed? After 9-11 we should be patrolling with armed aircraft. I think the American and Canadian people would be surprised to learn how impotent our governments really are. It would probably take hours to outfit an F16 for combat.

      Even if they were armed, what a decision to make! It was President George W. Bush’s toughest decision to give the shoot down order in anticipation of further hijacked airliners on 9/11. I would not want to be the man making the call, nor the fighter pilot ordered to shoot down a hijacked aircraft full of innocent passengers.

      The current security measures on airline flights is about as good as it needs to be to prevent another 9/11 style cockpit takeover. I don’t mean the BS Security Theatre going on in the terminal, strip-searching grannies and so on, but the simple addition of an armored cockpit door. What airport security lacks is the 100% ability to prevent a bomb being loaded into baggage. Audits have shown that up to 75% of dangerous items were missed by human x-ray screeners. The only way to really make air travel safe from Jihad terrorism is to profile for Muslim passengers, and people visiting jihad training countries like Pakistan and Yemen (maybe only possible to trace with some sort of electronic passport system – many savvy travelers have two passports in case one is lost or stolen; it is very easy to hide travel history if you take indirect routes).

      Yes, they are armed… SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) is to shoot down any aircraft that do not obey instructions over an unpopulated area once they have reported that there is a problem on board.

    With an attitude like that, this Muslim should be deported and made to stay out of Canada forever. Either that, or lock him up forever here. But why spend money on this crazy dude?

      He’s not crazy…its his religion

    Why waste fuel returning him to Canada? Jettison the B*$tard from 35,000 feet.

    Very very very typical Muslim…nothing out of the ordinary at all

    “I just want to bomb Canada.”
    Oh is that all?!
    I wonder what his story is. He’s probably enjoyed everything that Canada has to offer and wants to thank Canada in the usual Muslim way.

    The burden to all the world which is Islam is non-stop. Islam is just about the worst thing that ever happened to mankind. There are other contenders but not many.

    I would suggest that there is a separate flight for Muslims!

      But-But he is a Canadian, gee, we can’t do that.

    NBC Nightly News just clarified that the perp was a “25-year-old man.”

    Thanks for nothing NBC…..

    I see this muslim dude as a gift to the West. No doubt he already knew that incendiary words are forbidden in airports and airplanes — we all do. So why go there? In any case, this is millionth time these sociopaths drop their Islamic masks, which works for us.

    Assuming some of the cost of cigarettes is tax and some of that tax goes on police and corrections activities, this guy should be getting something back real soon.
    That’s unless the Court decides it’s his cultural right to be obnoxious.

    He wants to bomb Canada, the country that gave him shelter and his life. That is the standard way Muslims express their gratefulness to kuffars!! Morons!!

      It is not surprising…It is in their DNA that they are loyal only to their religion, not to the countries, they are living in, which has given them everything.

    God told Hagar, “That you will have a boy and his name will be Ishmael and he will be as a wild donkey and his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand will be against him.” SO, that is their Destiny… What’s New?

      Makes you understand why God said to kill them all.

        Not sure that is correct but Mohammad used to argue with donkeys and the donkeys would always win the argument.

        Then Mohammad claimed to be a prophet and the donkeys laughed at him.

      Why do you keep harping on this idea of “destiny”?? Your continual repetition of this one idea – which is not particularly helpful – borders on spamming.

      Do you seriously believe that God imposed a destiny of everlasting damnation upon *all* of Ishmael’s physical descendants (and btw, the vast majority of Muslims are not ethnically Arab at all, so they can’t be regarded as Ishmael’s descendants by *any* stretch of the imagination)?

      If you are using the term “Ishmael” *figuratively*, to describe adherents of an ideology, then again, you seem to be implying that *all* adherents of this ideology are “fated” to be as they are, by some divine decree; and again, in so doing, you seem to be placing them beyond the reach of divine grace.

      IF you’re a Christian then surely you believe that Jesus died to save *all* people; and that it is possible for the Holy Spirit to bring about the repentance and conversion of at least *some* Arab Muslims and of *some* non-Arab Muslims.

    Was the plane going to Panama or Panama City?

    Jul 26, 2014 at 5:45 pm

    You know, it’s funny, but somehow I knew this guy was a Sandn*****r. It’s a pity someone didn’t off him before they got back to Toronto.

    • Jay Boo says

      Jul 26, 2014 at 6:26 pm

      There is no need to use terms like Sandn*****r here.
      We are above that rolling in that kind of crap.
      Muslims are just human beings corrupted by the self-serving ranting of the Serpent of Satan make-believe prophet blasphemer Muhammad.
