As I said to Aisha, God is bigger than the "Prayer Time". everynametaken Send a noteboard - 22/01/2010 05:47:43 PM
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.

What a ridiculous rule if the entire Orthodoxy refuse to make the appropriate allowances for the 21st Century or any flexibility. Prayer times are after all set by men not God.

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.


I am going to charge someone for being a nuisance and causing thousands of dollars in delays when that individual or group do stupid things that are clearly the cause of said delays. As I said in other posts I would be willing to reconsider this case but there have been others recently where people did or said things on purpose to cause trouble in the middle of a flight. They should be charged. It is called punishment, not ignorance.
