Passenger who prays is removed from plane

For most people who are not regular flyers, praying before the plane takes off may be a good way of settling down your nerves. However one man who boarded a plane bound for San Francisco from New York and began to pray.

The flight crew ordered him to his seat, but he asked for a couple of minutes to finish his prayers. His refusing to return to his seat meant that the airport security was called and he was removed from the plane.

But by the time that security arrived, the man had actually stopped praying, but because they had been called, he had to be taken off the plane. Clearly the days of tolerance are long gone, and if we are to get along on our every day to day business then we really have choice but to comply with anyone wearing a uniform or face delays and even arrest.
