Terror scare on UK-bound flight after Muslim passenger screams “Allahu akbar” and “Boom”

Jun 4, 2016 12:11 pm By Robert Spencer

“Sarwar was allegedly upset after attending her funeral in Pakistan and had also skipped his scheduled medication, methadone.” See? Nothing to be concerned about. Grandmothers’ deaths and methadone withdrawal always lead to people screaming “Allahu akbar” and threatening to down airplanes, don’t they, you greasy Islamophobe? It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with this: “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60). “People were distressed and upset by his behaviour” — ah, so he succeeded in striking terror in their hearts.

“Terror scare on UK-bound flight after passenger shouts ‘Allahu Akbar’ and ‘Boom,'” The Sun, June 4, 2016 (thanks to Thomas):

A TERROR scare was sparked on a Birmingham-bound flight after a passenger shouted “Allahu Akbar” and “Boom”.

Shehraz Sarwar, 38, caused widespread panic with his ‘obnoxious’ behaviour as the Emirates Boeing 777 from Dubai started landing procedures in February last year.

Some of the 347 passengers were left shaken and in tears after the terrifying outbursts.

Sarwar, from the Saltley of Birmingham, had reportedly caused trouble from the start of the flight.

He twice refused to put on his seatbelt when asked by cabin crew and threw food and towels around the plane before shouting the phrases, associated with terror attacks, as the plane approached the runway at Birmingham Airport.

Prosecuting Sarwar in Birmingham Crown Court, Patrick Sullivan QC said: “The behaviour before these words was obnoxious.

“He fell asleep for about three quarters of the flight and when he woke up he threw a towel back at a member of staff who had offered him one. He also threw a scone behind him although it did not land on anyone.

“He was also hitting his head with his hand. People were distressed and upset by his behaviour.

“In a statement, one of the passengers said the plane had hit strong turbulence as they were descending.

“He said that he was happy to have survived the landing but feared, after hearing Sarwar, that he was going to be the victim of a terrorist bomb and that his ‘heart skipped a beat.”…

Balbir Singh, defending, said his client’s behaviour had been affected by the death of his grandmother.

Sarwar was allegedly upset after attending her funeral in Pakistan and had also skipped his scheduled medication, methadone….

    Probably something not as bad as quoting Churchill on the street…

      Clarification: what probably happened to him was not as bad as what would have happened to him had he been caught quoting Churchill on the street.

      Too bad they didn’t throw him off the plane. Great idea for a new movie – “Throw Muhammad off the plane.”

    Of course, 15% of Muslims (about one in six) approve of terrorist groups.

    In which of Islam’s foundational texts did these jihad supporters get the idea that he should be at war against disbelievers?

    Quote: “Balbir Singh, defending, said his client’s behaviour had been affected by the death of his grandmother.”

    Is Balbir Singh sure that the JIHAD DOCTRINE (i.e. Islam) had nothing to do with his client shouting ‘ALLAH AKBAR’?

    After all, ‘Allah akbar’ is a war cry, isn’t it?

      Muslim crybaby syndrome

      Islam hides in the closet.
      real simple
      Islam’s foundational base is a resting on a laughable joke.
      No wonder Muslims want to kill.

      As discovered by the French after the Paris bombings, the other 80% of Muslims will not report a terrorist hiding in their midst.

    This would not have happened if passengers were allowed to carry guns on the plane.

      I don’t know what fantasy world you live in chum. He could have had one as well and the plane would definitely have gone down in a mass shoot out
      If guns made countries safe America would be the safest in the world .Take a look at the stats buddy there are 135 times more gun murders per thousand of the population. in the USA than in the UK which has more restrictions on gun ownership. Common sense really!!

    Why is this Muslim woman’s face pixeled out? Media only pixel out pictures of children.
    Christian women, Yazidi women, Jewish women, and other victims of Muslimness don’t have their pictures pixeled out.

      I am not so sure that is a woman.
      The person appears to be wearing a baseball cap and a hoodie.

    “Balbir Singh, defending, said his client’s behaviour had been affected by the death of his grandmother.”

    My guess is that there were other passengers aboard that flight who also had been affected by the death of their grandmothers. Good thing they did not react the same as did Shehraz Sharwar . . . That flight from Dubai would have sounded like the Islamic Tabernacle Choir screeching refrains from the “Allahu Akbar Chorale”.

    Had this drug infested hoodlum taken a bit of a jaunt in Dubai after allegedly attending his old gran’s funeral in Pakistan?

    It’s an old chestnut claiming to have attended this or that funeral or wedding when these geezers have been up to no good in muslim countries.

    A good number of Muslims gain satisfaction from the fact that that their terrorist brethren have the western world scared and worried and some of them, such as the inbred, welfare-bludging scum in this article, use it to intimidate the kafirs and show whose boss. As we know, this is not the first such case. Some Muslims love to flaunt their religion on airplanes as a tool of intimidation. The fact that a Muslim in full traditonal regalia can make an entire plane of passengers nervous is a source of great pride for Muslims. I am realiably informed that the men discuss this at length in boastful terms when they get together in their social groups. Why is This piece of turd in England? He doesn’t belong there. For an offence such as this he should be deported, exiled or whatever to send a strong message to his ilk but cowardly western leaders do not seem to hold much concern about the safety, security and welfare of their non- Muslim citizens.

    The people on the plane should have beat the crap out that raghead when he first got out of line.

    Answer; Travel on Israeli El AL. A Jewish air marshall would have ‘NEUTRALISED’ the animal.

    There was a court case by the looks of it but either it’s still ongoing or the result has not been published. I see the now fashionable defence of mental illness is being used. If he is on methadone, it indicates he is a heroin addict.

    “Emirates Boeing 777”

    Never use muslim Airlines.
    l can’t believe how many non-muslim kids and adults l see, wearing t-shirts advertising ‘Emirates’ or ‘Qatar’.

    • Paulina says

      I would think it’s safer to fly muslim airlines since the passengers are mostly muslims, the terrorists are less likely to kill their muslim brothers. On the other hand, it’s probably less safer to fly non-muslim airlines because most of the passengers are infidels, and jihadists are instructed to kill as many infidels as possible.

    I have been taking prescribed Methadon 10 years for neuropathic pain caused by a joint hypermobility syndrome, but I never scream. If anything, that medicine makes me tired and not high like some other opiates. It has never made me say something strange or quoting the Bible. No, this was a result of Shehraz Sarwar’s personality (genetically tribe oriented, religiously jihad oriented).

    To say something about Muslim airline business: Dubai is one of the most racist airports in the world. They stop all black people, whatever nationality, from flying to Europe, America and East Asia if they can’t prove that they have $7,000 cash. They never check an Arab, but some whites if they are not well dressed. All have to pass the x-ray security check (b.t.w. – what is the point looking for weapons and bombs when all in the security staff are Muslims???) , but black people always get body searched too by guards looking like ben Laden, but younger and with more evil eyes.
