The passengers on the flight should have recognized, as they have been told by CNN, the New York Times and others, that “Allahu akbar” is a benign and even beautiful phrase, and opened the cockpit door to him, so as not to appear to be “Islamophobic.”
“Transavia passenger shouts ‘Allahu Akbar’ and tries to enter cockpit as plane is diverted,” by Tom Davidson, Mirror, January 25, 2019:
A Transavia flight was forced into a diversion when a passenger shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ and tried to enter the cockpit.
The Tunisian man, around 30 years old, also tried to make a prayer before the flight from Paris to Tunis was diverted.
Videos posted online shows security staff wrestling with the man while the plane is in mid-air and passengers shouting before they are finally able to bring him under control….
Passengers were reported as saying that the man shouted that he was Tunisian like them and that they should help him.
The cause of the disturbance is thought to have been when the man was not allowed to pray in the plane corridor….
The man is thought to be undergoing a psychiatric evaluation….
St Ferd III says
Nothing to do with the fascist cult of Muhammadism. It is MENTAL ILLNESS people. Allahu Akhbar does not mean my god Baal the moon deity is the greatest of all gods. It means that I love you and want to hug you. Obviously the door being locked sent this mentally ill Muhammadan into a confused rage….I blame the pilots. How insensitive of them to lock the door against the threat of a Muhammadan flight takeover a la 9-11…that is racist.
LB says
Agreed! Arrest anyone involved who prevented this innocent muslim man to perform his religious duties! Splatter their names, faces and home addresses across all mainstream media and make them unemployable anywhere in the West for daring to commit this vile act of islamophobia!

“The man is thought to be undergoing a psychiatric evaluation”
Of course! Why, otherwise, would a grown male muslim attempt to enter the cockpit of an airborne plane? SURELY he had no intentions to emulate the muslims who took over jet commercial aircraft and murdered almost 3000 innocent people in 2001? “Authorities” will likely place him under observation for 24 hours, then release him,.The Airline will issue a public apology for his embarrassing treatment and send him a huge “settlement/apology” check!

Walter Sieruk says
Now yet more Muslim terrorism, This time in a Paris- to -Tunis cockpit flight.
This jihadist/Muslim violence and evil has been further explained and exposed in the book by written by Robert Spencer, who is a scholar of both Islam and the different methods of Islam’s jihad. In Mr. Spencer’s book THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FOR MUHAMMAD TO ISIS on pages 367,368 the reader is informed that “The early twenty first century saw a sharp rise in jihad massacres perpetrated all over the West by individuals or small groups of Muslims : in London, Manchester, Paris, Toulouse, Nice, Amsterdam. Madrid ,Brussels, Berlin, Munich, Copenhagen, Malmo Stockholm, Turku ,in Finland , Moscow , St Petersburg , and Beslan ,among rather places… ”
It also should be noted that those jihadist or jihadists attacks in Western nations be the Muslim terrorists in the city of London, Manchester, Stockholm, Brussels , Strasbourg, Paris, Nice, Berlin ,Madrid. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by a strong force of might. Either by the police or the military. For to even try to reason with a jihad-minded Muslim terrorist is just as much an act of futility as trying to teach algebra to a rabbit.
eduardo odraude says
Not quite as bad as trying to teach algebra to a rabbit. Jihadists now and then do abandon Islam. Christians have, at times, been able to convert them.
There are two wrong approaches to dealing with Islam. 1) Truth without love; 2) love without truth. The most effective way to get people to leave Islam is love WITH truth.
I’d say a lot of commenters at Jihad Watch, myself included, often make the first error. This hurts our cause pretty seriously, I’d say.
The second error is made by people like Merkel or those who take a loving, but stupidly uncritical approach.
The third approach, the best approach, is sometimes achieved by some Christians seeking to convert Muslims. Such Christians lovingly, gently, tactfully talk about Christianity and also inform or ask Muslims about things Muslims often don’t know about Muhammad in the core Islamic texts: things that don’t make sense, that are repulsive, dishonest, evil, insane, nonsensical, inhumane, tyrannical, totalitarian. But one need not be a Christian to use a love plus truth approach.
boakai ngombu says
… dishonest, evil,…
the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers … 3. 54) has no ability to love. and its slave (Muhammad … lately contrived) needed no love to be inhumane, repulsive, tyrannical.
BEWARE and avoid allegiance to either
Rufolino says
Mrs.Merkel, a “loving” person ?? That’s funny !
Very loving indeed towards the Germans, people for whom it is her first duty to provide safety and protection.
Very loving indeed towards the culture and civilsation of Europe, for which she doesn’t care two hoots !
The woman is a political and moral criminal.
RegT says
“Love will conquer all”, Eduardo? I would wish you “good luck”, but a true muslim has neither need nor desire to be loved, especially by infidels. Do yourself a favor: on Robert Spencer’s web site, he offers a short course on islam (yes, I refuse to capitalize the word) called islam 101. It isn’t terribly long, but it is well worth reading.
Your heart is certainly in the right place, but the futility of your notion will not only cause frustration. While you are trying to change their hearts, they will be trying to change your status to either a) a convert to muslim (if you are lucky), b) kill you for being an infidel, as the qur’an commands them to do, if you will not convert, or c) make you a slave, a dhimmi. While they are doing one (or more) of those things, they will also be making sex slaves of your wife/girlfriend/sister/niece, etc. AND of any of your young children, since they actually prefer raping young boys over girls, although they will use whatever they can get. muslims have a saying: women are for making babies, but boys are for pleasure. It is called “bacha bazi”, which means “boy play”.
Study true islam before you put your loved ones and yourself into the hands of muslims, who have been trying to make islam the only “religion” (it is actually an ideology) allowed on the face of the Earth since the 7th century. They came very close on more than one occasion in the past.
Bill says
You spoilsports want to take all the adventure out of flying.:-)
This is why I seldom fly anymore. The TSA is an absurd show designed to intimidate the innocent and overlook the threats. The people responsible for understanding, recognizing and preventing the threats have institutionalized a process that requires them to not understand, to not recognize and to not prevent. So as long as those in charge are going to work that way, fail, and then blame the failures on “mental illness”, I will seldom commit my personal safety to their dubious assurances of protection.

Wrong trigger word, brother.

Note how he assumed that all Muslims should be ready to wage violent Jihad at any time…
Anjuli Pandavar says
Good point, GI.
Dave says
graven, remember, ‘not all muslims’….His fellow passengers let him down.Perhaps they didn’t all want to die on that occasion. Oh well, there is some hope.
gravenimage says
Unfortunately, many of them would likely have been happy with his waging violent Jihad–just so long as it was a flight without any Muslims on it.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Notice however that he did not say that they were all asian, like him 😉

Spot on.
A_M_Swallow says
Possibly because Tunisian is a Mediterranean country in north Africa. This is terrorism not child rape.
No Muzzies Here says
The passengers should have felt comforted by the wonderful prayer contained in “allahu akhbar.” They should have felt the warmth and kindness encapsulated in those two words. They should have felt calm and peaceful as the American media would have them feel.
As indeed, it has been the last two words heard by countless millions of people throughout the world since 600 AD as they entered into eternal peace.
Mirren10 says
”The cause of the disturbance is thought to have been when the man was not allowed to pray in the plane corridor….”
How dare these infidels not allow one of ”the best of people” to block the aisle, block the stewardesses/stewards from serving food and drink,and block the in flight safety instructions ! Naturally this poor put upon mohammedan tried to enter the cockpit. Oh, the terrible islamophobia !
”The man is thought to be undergoing a psychiatric evaluation….”
Well of course !
gravenimage says
+1
Dave says
Mirren perhaps ‘all muslims’ should undergo psychiatric evaluation.
RegT says
Mirren10, it wasn’t that they would not let him pray in the aisle, it was because they refused to allow him to enter the flight deck in order to turn the aircraft so that it was facing Mecca during his prayer. Inconsiderate of the crew, don’t you think?
Anjuli Pandavar says
Agreed, RegT. What would be the point of getting 30,000 feet closer to Allah only to end up facing the wrong way? That would really suck!

………………..
Even those most in denial about Islam being a “religion of peace” would be apt to hit the floor or run for the exits upon hearing someone screaming “Allahu Akbar!”.
eduardo odraude says
People get so used to being hypocrites that they forget when they are being hypocrites (assuming they ever noticed in the first place). I could easily imagine the NYT writers who claimed Allahu Akbar was a benign phrase, how those writers would be quite afraid the day after writing that, if they heard someone shouting the “benign” Allahu Akbar say in a restaurant where they were eating. Then I could imagine those writers still later doing an article in which they express shock and surprise at their own frightened reaction. People on the left are sometimes incredibly self-deluded about these issues and are in for some rude awakenings. I wonder if Merkel has had any. But such delusions exist often enough on the right, as well.
gravenimage says
Good analysis, Eduardo.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Their actions being more honest than their professions of multicultural kumbayah
RegT says
So many people fail to understand that muslims are quite serious when they say islam is the religion of peace. However, muslims don’t go on to explain that peace won’t exist until they make the entire world muslim, a universal caliphate, just as isis would have done, if they had been successful. isis is the perfect expression of islam, in its aims, in how it treats infidels – especially the women it makes sex slaves, and in how it would rule the world via sharia.
TrueFreeThinker says
“the man shouted that he was Tunisian like them and that they should help him” apparently everyone should have wanted to commit suicide right then & there like how this moron wanted to!?!
My wife and l had to be on a several different flights last week and l told my wife exactly what we were going to do if someone started shouting this same phrase. I talked us through what we were going to do depending on different scenarios and depending on how many muslimes it was and everything else, l / we will not be victims of this filthy ‘religion’.

“Mental evaluation.” Would this have been the case if any of the flights on 9/11 had successfully landed and the perps taken into custody? Was this the case with the “shoe-bomber,” Reid? Or the “underwear bomber” who set his own on fire, but failed to down the plane?
His appeal to the other passengers shows his “thinking.” He wanted to kill them and he expected that they would wish for the same thing. After all, moslims claim to “love death,” and certainly are more than ready to spill the blood of others, any day, any time. Even if it means taking out some of their “brothers” along with the never moslim. It was claimed that there were moslims in the Twin Towers when they went down. And still, moslims all over, celebrated.
Had he been allowed to “prey” in the aisle, that would not have guaranteed that he would not have tried to take over the flight by storming the cockpit. But since he will be diagnosed as mental, the blame has to lie somewhere.
somehistory says
TrueFreeThinke,
Back in my youth, I took some courses and one I recall vividly. One of the things taught was to always prepare the mind for “what if” and what to do “if.” Such as, when I walked alone home in the dark of night, if someone began to follow, I would move to the middle of the street, cross to the other side of the street, and if the other person did the same, find a fire or police station, knowing ahead of time where these were located. On one such night, I did those very things and found several large firemen sitting outside the brightly lit firehouse. The guy behind me suddenly turned and went the other way.
It has been proven that if one knows what they will do in a given situation, they are more likely to not be in that situation, but if so, are more likely to survive.
I have thought, too, of what I would do, or try to do, on a plane in these circumstances. I don’t fly if I don’t have to, but think of it anyway. I have to go shopping and be out and about and so I think of what I would do if an episode of terrorism happens when I am, and have talked to my family about these things. We can’t take safety for granted.
Dave Catleugh says
Just to remind you that the correct way to describe somebody screaming Allahu Akbar and acting aggressively is “mentally disturbed person” and not “Muslim”.
Dave says
Dave, the description is “mentally disturbed “Muslim”person” Let’s call a spade a spade.
Rufolino says
Everywhere you have Islam, trouble is sure to follow.
LeftisruiningCanada says
THAT’S a true statement if ever there was one!
brane pilot says
So much uninformed bigotry in the comments.
The man obviously wanted to help the pilots fly the plane safely to its destination.
Do not be Islamophobic.
Islam is not only a religion of peace, Muslims are always ready to lend a helping hand.
Like flying planes, for instance.
FYI says
They are marvellous at flying passenger planes full of innocent infidels into buildings.
allah is their co-pilot.
St. Croix says
The nerve! Trying to repress freedom of religion by not allowing one of the best of people to pray in the aisle!
I hope every airplane is equipped with several straitjackets, and a gag-rag wouldn’t hurt either…besides the usual arms needed to ensure protection. I don’t even know that every flight has “security officers.” I don’t think so, especially here in Canada for example. And I doubt flight attendants are all trained in hand-to-hand combat. Time to wake up to this reality, sadly, just one can do a lot of damage.
Another note, a few days ago when I went to Jihadwatch.org via google chrome, I had a warning flash on the screen that “this site uses malware…” and my computer could be infected if I continued. What was that about? I’m using a different browser now, and no problem. I suspect some kind of hacking thing to try and destroy jihadwatch. Does anyone know anything about this?
FYI says
They should have thrown him off the plane in mid-air.
Waited 5 minutes:and then thrown,as an act of infidel mercy, a parachute out..
And a Bacon sandwich to eat while he’s on the way down.
What ridiculous nonsense that he insisted on praying in the corridor:no other religion does that.
muslims pray to allah “the best of deceivers”k3:54:I mean he wouldn’t be deceiving muslims now would he?
You could not trust a politician or a bank manger who called himself “the best of deceivers” or “the best of schemers”.
