this happens all the time. rude, unruly, drunk people screwing around pissing people off.

i understand trying to advance a position on how bad and dangerous muslims are with this incident, but its a weak example. whenever ive seen these stories in the past, its been white males who act like idiots and end up getting removed from the plane, being drunk most of the time.

No doubt that no one group has a monopoly on bad behavior. The simple truth is that the article does not go in to enough detail to know if Islamic ideology played a role here or not. However, I think the entitlement attitude of Saudi citizens was on display here. "The rules don't apply to u"s is their thinking more times than not. Let's hope this guy is put on the no-fly list. Would-be terrorist or not, we don't need people like this disrupting flights. Everyone on that plane that had to makea connecting flight probably missed it because of this guy.

Although I like your idea of going after Muslims with pitchforks over this incident, Christians have done the same thing on occasion. And I'll bet Jews have done similar things too. So we're talking about quite a bloodletting.

I once saw a old lady try to stow away a small pet dog in the passengers' cabin on a flight. As the other passengers were taking their seats, the dog yelped and gave itself away. The lady broke into a panic. I'm not sure what religion she was, but she was old, so in her case I guess we'll have to use the "senior citizen" demographic.

On the other hand, I carried a bottle of red wine over the Canadian border. I wasn't caught but if I were I'd surely have come up with some kind of creative public display. And my demographic is "handsome man".

I don't get that from the article facts, just the article "spin".
