What's your limit?
Supposedly on a middle eastern airline to the Philippines, it woke the guy up.
I'd rather that than sit next to a fattie.
Crikey. This is an extremist trying to stir things up.
Trust me a person flying from middle east to Philippines and doing such prayers are flying there for no good reason. Most are there to spread hate and war. 👿
They do know they can pray in silent do they not? I have seen old lady on her trip to holy land for pilgrim (nearly half the seats on my flight were pilgrims) but I did not see her doing so. She was very devoted and was praying for nearly 30 mins during the call to prayer in silent. I sat next to her. 🙂

If your flight is for 20 hours you will hear at least 5 times of call to pray.
What a tit. As if flying isn't tiresome enough. 🙄

Sure it reduces that to 3 while travelling.
I'm going to go with 12 pages.

Not sure.
But different time zones might have a say in this.

Pretty antisocial and completely uncalled for.
I just feel sorry for him. Religion is idiotic enough but the need to display it publicly is just pathetic and worthy of atheistic derision.
I'd sooner have that than an excitable child.
TBH I've no problem at all with the religious observation but the volume's just unneccesary and rude imo. Or at least, none of the muslims I've known have felt prayer has to be done at the top of their voice. I think if I woke up to that, I'd probably go apeshit same as I would anyone else screaming at me.
No worse than the rugby club arseholes I had to endure a flight with.

I will not panic nor be offended because this is a rather common sight where I came from especially from those who are more extreme in ideology.

Not sure they thought of that when they wrote the manual.
I had to sit next to a scouser on a flight once.

I think they do but have not considered the present day time zones incursion flying with planes. i.e. faster than they can imagine. 😀
No real need for behaviour like that. Sit down, be quiet and watch a film like everyone else.
You mean the tv does more than show us where we are?
Im glad he loves his religion but why the need to ram it down others throats?

They don't watch film or any western media related stuff.

It's indirect provocation. Trust me they do it deliberately so when you oppose their action that's when the war starts.
That's how the machete loving wars starts in that region.

Nahhh, to me, shouting Alluah Akbar next to the emergency exit on a plane is the equivalent of shouting fire in a fireworks factory. Or announcing to a TSA agent that your cocaine is under the semtex in your bag. Or shouting wolf in a room full of sheep. Or child in a room full of priests. etc etc etc

Much worse.

I'll bet he/she was in stitches the whole time...

I'm with Chewie on this. STFU and sit down, you're no better than some dick barking into a mobile phone or some screaming brat. No I don't respect your religion, it's backward. Get on with it quietly if you must.
*awaits ban hammer
Chewkw - Philippines are a primarily Catholic country if I'm not mistaken. With all the shit that goes on in that house I'd perhaps think before criticising someone elses.
If you don't like people freely expressing themselves feel free to move to Turkmenistan or North Korea, otherwise STFU.
(that said, there's no accounting for asshats who take the piss on that one)
It's things like this that in-ear monitors and heavy rock music were made for.
*awaits ban hammer
I don't know why you'd be awaiting the ban hammer, you've pretty much just recited the STW orthodoxy.
Bit harsh on kids though.
The Philippines is also a country that has dealt with a lot of Islamic terrorism. Not really a good idea to put on your shouty "im possibly a explosion prone nutbag" act on a plane full of people that have been bombed by Islamic terrorists, even if it is a Saudi flight.
I'll make sure I don't fly with any middle eastern airlines now.

Nope. Not in the south.
They don't watch film or any western media related stuff.
Sure they could play one of the low budget video games instead.
Failing that just sit down and be quiet.
Lodders, I did have to ask, "Is he actually allowed upstairs?"
😉
Nope. Not in the south.
Even in Muslim Mindanao they're only just a majority aren't they? I like the Phils, couldn't imagine a Filipino ever doing that. Too polite.
he's probably pissed.
more tuneful than a hen party
There's a difference between intolerance and out and out bigotry. Chewkw wins the prize.

Not as easy on the eye though...
And hen parties ever are?
Chewies right, if you believe that anyone who doesn't pray is wrong, it's a lot easier to justify this in your own head.
His thought process was probably, "Look at all these assholes doing jack shit. have fun in hell Catholics". Why would he care about people who opposed the secession of Muslim Mindanao (for good reason).
It's meant to be aggressive and make others uncomfortable.
i would just wait until that guy was dozing off then blast some high intensity thrash metal to his ear as payback 😉 he'd love it 🙂
No, it's someone being an asshat, you're just looking at it through your own intolerance. Don't paint your own bigotry onto others, it's unbecoming.

My friends an Iman, he prays quite often when we're together and he always prays silently.

No, it's just basic psychology. Why else would you do it? Is it in the Koran, which I'm pretty much sure says that you can forgo loud prayer when travelling.
Because he's an asshat, I already said that. Then again maybe he's not, perhaps he is in a sect that does that sort of thing. Who knows, I know none of us certainly will (unless he's a member or knows one)
You're taking one thing and twisting it into something else entirely.

"... out and out bigotry." 😆
We/they don't have bigots over there I am afraid. No time for pussy footing around. If the people don't like each other they would tell them off in their face no if or but. Fact! 🙄
Over there different communities are increasingly being divided since the early 70s due to inflow of extreme religious belief from the middle east, which eventually stirred up hatred amongst people. They only tolerated each other because of dependent on each other but that is changing now.
Believe that if you like but you ARE extremely bigoted. Bigotry isn't a silent thing you know...
What a knob. Obviously doing on purpose to try and get a challenge so he can argue about it.
The bloke slapping the girl is also a knob.
Chekw is like most people I know outside of Europe, they don't have any handwringing guilt about an awful past like I do and they call it as they see it.
