Muhammad Abu Tahir, 47, of Glen Allen, Virginia, put crew and passengers into a fright spin Tuesday while aboard AirTran Airways headed for San Francisco.
It is becoming increasingly unpleasant to fly anywhere because of the Muslim teaching that all infidels must die. This baseline of Islam has become well enough known, prompting the free world to conclude it has no idea when or where the next strike will be.
Therefore, when this Muslim threatened everyone on the aircraft, no one had a clue as to how the disruption would end, especially considering the pants bomber Christmas scare.
Muhammad ordered drinks, became drunk, then locked himself in a bathroom, putting his shoes and socks outside the bathroom door.
“He became abusive when flight attendants refused to serve him a sixth drink, federal prosecutors said in a criminal complaint” per Peter Fimrite, San Francisco Chronicle staff writer.
Muhammad yelled in defiance of the crew, then “marched into the lavatory.” With that, he shouted accusations against crewmembers, claiming they were not respecting him.
Muhammad manhandled a senior flight attendant. A passenger intervened, releasing the attendant.
Muhammad caused so much ruckus that flight attendants had to jam beverage carts in the aisle to prohibit the Muslim from getting to the cockpit. Attendants “armed themselves with a fire extinguisher” just in case they had to quell Muhammad’s further intrusions.
“Two F-16s were launched by the North American Aerospace Defense Command Region to intercept and escort the plane to Colorado Springs, where police pulled Tahir from the lavatory.
"’He did not obey commands given to him by the flight crew. He was assaultive,’ said Jeff Dorschner, the spokesman for the U.S. attorney in Denver.”
