Flyer Beware

Submitted by Gerard M Foley, Mar 16, 2007 18:26

The idea that a person bent on harming other passengers would advertise their religious fervor by praying in public before a terrorist act is absurd. The hysteria engendered by the American behavior that is viewed by Moslems as religious bigotry should not be encouraged. I suspect that one of the aims of the prayer was to invoke divine blessings to achieve the safe arrival of the airplane with all its passengers.
