Pope protesters hijack airliner
way to go.

EDIT: the article originally stated that Islamic hijackers took over the flight to protest the Pope's comments, turns out it was just some guy going AWOL.

Well it was a failed attempt. No violence and they got what they wanted, to get thier message in the news.

If I was on that plane and I knew they didnt have any weapons I woulda hijacked their face with my fist.

Hijacking an airline(the forceful overtaking of a commercial airliner) is a violent act in itself.

Exactly - I noticed that in the article.

Why would the people on the plane allow a hijacking if there was no threat of violence?

They wouldn't.

Idiots: "hey there, we're upset with what the pope has said about us being violent, so we were wondering if we could like, take control of this plane and stuff to get our message across that we aren't"
Pilot: "Yeah, that sounds like a swell idea, here, take this microphone so you can talk to the tower, now where did you want to go?"

The article says that he wanted asylum as a soldier from the Pope, not to protest him. Also...

Miss India, Miss Singapore, Miss Malaysia and Miss Philippines were on the flight, the spokesman told the BBC's Asian Network.
Maybe that's why he hijacked it...images/smilies/lol.gif

It didn't say that when I posted it. Way to get your facts BBC. images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

either way, Muslims acting out violence to protest people calling them violent are retarded, and should be shot, or at least made fun of endlessly.

Why is it that a mosque can be built in Rome and found to be accepted but churches are forbidden from Saudi Arabia. We recognize Muslims as diverse faith that serves to up lift man, although Muslims who believe that Jesus was an essential part of the linage of prophets recognize only that years ago someone tried to invade them.

The BBC didn't fuck up their facts -- everyone did. It was what the initial report was. Perhaps you should be a little less quick to judge, zenkidori.

your mom should be less quick to judge. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

who is everyone? BBC is a news agency, so I assume they get news from a news source of thiers, in thier employment, so effectivly part of the BBC, and they got thier facts wrong. So yeah the BBC did fuck it up by saying it was muslims against the pope. IMHO you should try and verify facts before shouting them to the world, I thought I had done that, since the BBC is supposedly a reputable news source.

or are you saying I'm judging muslims or some BS like that?

On topic if I were on that plane I would be scared as S***, what happened to the last four planes hi-jacked? These people (Hi-jackers) should be locked up for a very long time indeed.
