Seriously? Could you do your morning prayers before the flight and not on the middle of it? The plane is not the place for your morning prayers and no, I don't care how devout you (the passenger) are!
There is a simple way to stop all the shenanigans happening on flights. This man should be charged for all the extra fuel and employee wages that the diversion caused. If they start charging people and billing them thousands of dollars for their disturbances (and stupidity) then people will begin to think twice before acting a fool or inappropriately.
1) Jewish prayers must be said after sunup, which I'm guessing didn't occur until he got on the plane, and then he had to pray on the plane.
2) You're going to charge someone for being suspected? Does that not sound ridiculous to you at all? The crew is in the wrong here, not the kid doing his daily ritual! He wasn't acting inappropriately, he was obeying his religion. Be a little tolerant, and a little less ignorant.
At last, I have an apostrophe!

Sorry, I don't consider praying on a plane acting foolishly or inappropriately.

His being Jewish has nothing to do with it. Use some common sense - pray silently.

or they could have looked and said "no problem just a wooden box used for prayer" and not diverted

Fair enough, I can agree that they could have done that and should have done that.

Allah is bigger than your "prayer time". The world won't end if you pray earlier or later.

Islam does explicitly make allowances for people who are traveling, though.
