Seriously? Could you do your morning prayers before the flight and not on the middle of it? The plane is not the place for your morning prayers and no, I don't care how devout you (the passenger) are!
People need to be less sensitive and use their intelligence. Stop being so hypersensitive. A simple, what are you doing by the crew, and no worries. Rather than your attitude.
I am asking people to use common sense. The middle of a plane is not the time for morning prayers, joking around with racial or ethnic slurs, writing and handing in insane sounding comment cards, and on and on. I am not hypersensitive, I am asking people to use a little common courtesy and not do entirely stupid things on the middle of a plane flight.
There is a simple way to stop all the shenanigans happening on flights. This man should be charged for all the extra fuel and employee wages that the diversion caused. If they start charging people and billing them thousands of dollars for their disturbances (and stupidity) then people will begin to think twice before acting a fool or inappropriately.
A simpler way is for people to be less shrill and use some common sense. People like you need to learn that lesson quickly and stop being such sensitive bitches.
Again, asking people to use common sense and quit acting like fuckwads is not being shrill. It is time to fine the shit out of people who cause disturbances on the planes and cause delays because of their dimwitted activities. I am willing to reconsider fining this guy as maybe he just made an ill-thought out move and knows better now but the people who recently caused disturbances like saying ethnic slurs aloud? Fine those guys and they'll never do it again and anyone thinking about being a smart ass will think twice about it.
But wine was the great assassin of both tradition and propriety...

Sorry, I don't consider praying on a plane acting foolishly or inappropriately.

His being Jewish has nothing to do with it. Use some common sense - pray silently.

or they could have looked and said "no problem just a wooden box used for prayer" and not diverted

Fair enough, I can agree that they could have done that and should have done that.

Allah is bigger than your "prayer time". The world won't end if you pray earlier or later.

Islam does explicitly make allowances for people who are traveling, though.
