Somewhere in the heavens above Amarillo, angry shouts rang out from the back of Southwest Airlines Flight 3683.
“You’re all going to die,” a man dressed in black screamed at passengers Tuesday afternoon. “You’re all going to hell. Allahu Akbar,” translated as God is great in Arabic.
Federal authorities arrested Ali Reza Shahsavari, 29, of Indialantic, Fla., onboard the Boeing 737 after pilots made an emergency landing at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport at 3:30 p.m. He is being held in the Randall County jail on a federal charge of interfering with a flight crew.
None of the 136 passengers and five crew members on the flight from Los Angeles to Kansas City was hurt, said Brad Hawkins, spokesman for Dallas-based Southwest.
Police said the incident began with Shahsavari arguing with another passenger. The flight crew separated the men, said Amarillo police Cpl. Jerry Neufeld.
Shahsavari went into a bathroom and yelled obscenities from the rear of the plane, said passenger Doug Oerding, of Sacramento, Calif. Attendants tried to calm Shahsavari before a female flight attendant finally succeeded in quieting him. Oerding said.
As the tension mounted, the aircraft began to gain speed and descend, Oerding said. The slender Navy veteran said he put his shoes back on in preparation to act.
“All of us guys were looking at him like, ‘Are we going to have to do something?’” Oerding said after finishing a cigarette outside the Amarillo terminal while waiting to reboard the plane.

The sister was born in Mississippi but can't speak English. What's wrong with that picture?

Although he shouts "allahu akbar" it is definitely not ali akbar.
 
Is it just me, or should you actually have to do something to get in trouble?

Scenario kinda reminds me of the argument a friend had with her father a few years ago when he found out she was living with her fiance. Dear old dad was not pleased. (Thought his 25-yo daughter was a virgin... heheheh.)

If somebody stood on a street corner shouting that, but replaced "allah" with "jesus" they'd probably get donations.

If someone was on a plane screaming "You will all die! Jesus is Great!" then they would be detained.

You don't have to actually do something. Language that causes fear and violence is enough (cue the fire in theater cliche.) It causes emotional stress as well as the possibility of violence, etc.

I hope this guy gets beaten to death with a turban.
 
They should ship him off to Guantanamo for a few weeks. That'll learn him.

He won't be making empty threats after being waterboarded 😀

AFAIK, he's only being charged with disrupting the flight. Had he been white and had just gotten drunk and start screaming and dancing around, they would have landed the plane and charged him with the same crime.
