Video of Muslim man praying in the aisle of an airplane causing inconvenience and then attacking the flight attendant has been circulating the internet.





The video shows a Muslim man who chose the airplane's aisle a place to perform his religious duty despite the fact that he blocked the aisle and caused inconvenience for the flight attendants. Moments after he is done praying, he gets up to punch the flight attendant in the face.

L'hystérie islamique dépasse la terre pour toucher le ciel (probablement un vol Transavia) tout en restant fidèle à ses fondamentaux : barbarie et agressivité

In another video taken later, the man was evacuated by the police but he refused and tried to resist while shouting “Allahu Akbar”. The Transavia Airline flight that was flying from Paris to Tunis was rerouted then and delayed in Nice, France.

Arrestation de l'islamiste qui résiste violemment.

Avion détourné vers Nice. Voyage reporté au lendemain. Voyageurs hébergés par Transavia. J'espère que ça va lui coûter un maximum de prison et d'amende plus dédommagement. Et que sa carte de séjour éventuelle lui sera retirée. pic.twitter.com/RFJnqNBnHP — Alexandra Lightmyfire (@alex_lighthouse) August 21, 2019

The video was widely shared on the internet with more social media users weighing on the story.

For Muslim Twitter, a debate was ongoing whether what the man has done was necessary or not as he could have prayed in his seat without all the fuss.

he could be done the “pray” (namaz) at his seat as well. He just made an islamic show. — ozzy ossy (@ozzoosso) August 21, 2019
