A hareidi-Orthodox Jew was removed from a Canadian airliner after flight crew personnel stated his back-and-forth motion while praying in his seat instilled fear and concern in passengers.

I've been besides one of these guys going back and forth between JFK and BRU. While it does not instill fear at all, it sure can run on your nerves after several hours (and I don't even think about the guy behind trying to pick his moving meal).

I'm sure there are people who would be upset if someone started waving around a figurine of a man nailed to a wooden cross.

But really, first two muslims were kicked off the plane by other passengers, because they saw them praying. Now a praying jew instilled fear. A praying christian should be removed from a plane soon, or someone is going to feel left out! After that, we can move on to non-Abrahamic religions.

I can tell so many funny and also bad stories about people being religious on aircraft, but I guess this is not the right place nor the right time, as they would feel offended straight away nowadays.

The Pope being banned from Alitalia, imagine. He could try Emirates.
