I wonder what the BBC's
Matt Free would deduce from
this Daily Mail report that:
"An airline passenger has been forced off a Detroit-bound plane and arrested after shouting 'I want to kill all the Jews'.
Miami police said in a statement today that 43-year-old Mansor Mohammad Asad, of Toledo, Ohio, faces several charges including disorderly conduct.
Police say the Northwest Airlines flight was taxiing at Miami International Airport yesterday, but was turned around after Asad became abusive.
Witnesses told authorities he was loud, disruptive and claimed to be Palestinian. They believed he was sometimes speaking Arabic."
Why would someone speaking Arabic and claiming to be a Palestinian want to "kill all the Jews"? Might this Islamic tradition attributed to Muhammad give us a clue:
"The Hour [of Resurrection] will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews, and kill them. And the Jews will hide behind the rock and tree, and the rock and tree will say: oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!"
