Guess Who Violent Arabs on Southwest Flight to Chicago Were? Not Who You Think
A number of readers have sent me a story about six “Muslims” who were arrested by the FBI for being violent and taunting passengers and flight crew on a Southwest Airlines flight to Chicago on Monday. And a number of clueless blogs and websites have “reported” that the men are Muslim. But in fact, they are not. Being an expert on Islam, Islamic terrorism, the Middle East, and Middle Eastern culture (unlike many of the wannabes and pretenders), I know that most, if not all, of the men involved are Christian Iraqis. And this is the problem with absorbing hundreds of thousands of Arab immigrants into our country, whether or not they are Christian or Muslim. They have Arab values antithetical to American ones. On the other hand, their treatment by the FBI is illustrative of how the FBI deals with Christian disrupters of flights versus Muslims.
On the flight from San Diego to Chicago, the six men–all of them in their 20s–were rude to stewardesses (yeah, I know, it’s “flight attendants,” but I’m not PC), refused to obey instructions, and became violent when their requests for alcohol were denied.
But, here’s the thing, at least five of the six passengers are Christian, if not all of them. I know from their names and from where they live. They are from San Diego, home to the second largest American population of Chaldeans–Iraqi Christians. (The Detroit area is home to the largest Chaldean population.) Yes, there are some Muslims there, and at least one of these men, Wasim Imad Shaker, may be Muslim. But they play on a soccer team, and Chaldean soccer teams are common. The rest of the men are more likely Christian. For certain, Jonathan Khalid Petras and Saiman Hermez are. Petras is a Christian last name, and Hermez is a common Chaldean surname.
The six, said to be members of a San Diego area soccer team, were subsequently arrested and charged with “interference with a flight crew and abetting.” Basically, according to Hendricks per Southwest, the passengers -Khalid Yohana, 19; Wasim Imad Shaker, 23; Essa Solaqa, 20; Ghazwan Assad Shaba, 21; Jonathan Khalid Petras, 20; and Saiman Hermez, 19- were refusing orders from the flight attendants, challenging their authority and being mean to other passengers.
One flight attendant said that during the emergency demonstration prior to takeoff, the six “were asked numerous times to put their seat backs and tray tables up, which is required for takeoff of the aircraft, to which they verbally responded ‘no.'” . . .
“Later, while the flight attendants were taking drink orders, the six passengers started talking loudly and using profanity,” Hendricks said in his affidavit. The flight attendant “asked them to quiet down and they responded, ‘We can be as loud as we want and do whatever the [expletive] we want on here. You can’t make us listen.'” When the flight attendant “said they couldn’t do that, they lunged forward in their seats and said, ‘We can do whatever we want on here.'” That flight attendant denied their request for alcohol. They “became aggressive by lunging forward” at the flight attendant, who “stated she felt threatened and that they were escalating their aggressive behavior.” . . .
“They accused the attendants of being racist” and called the second flight attendant a “pig” as she walked away. The passengers then told a third flight attendant “that they could do whatever they wanted to because they bought a ticket.” The passengers “did not comply with anything they were asked to do and were repeatedly standing up and becoming increasing louder. Due to the increase in their non-compliant and unpredictable behavior,” one flight attendant “felt uncomfortable and saw that they were attempting to incite other passengers to join in their non-compliant behavior.” A flight attendant asked the pilots to divert the aircraft. . . .
A passenger across the aisle from the six passengers heard them call the flight attendant a racist and pig. “She heard them tell each other to throw gang signs, and then saw them using their hands to gesture gang signs. After using the bathroom, one of the passengers leaned towards the female passengers and called her a [expletive], ‘ugly ass’ and ugly.’ He then gave her the middle finger gesture. The passenger began to cry and was shaking. She contacted the flight attendants and was moved to another seat.”
Like I said, doesn’t matter if they are Muslim or Christian. They are Christian but behave like Muslims because that’s their culture. The Muslim-dominated Arab culture. That’s how they were raised.
I find it interesting, though, that the six men were immediately arrested by the FBI and charged. They deserved it. But this isn’t usually the case with Muslims who are clearly testing the system with jihadic dry runs, when they, too, clearly deserved to be arrested and charged. Those men are usually released and never charged, and we are usually lectured by the feds with the usual “nothing to see here, move along” BS. Not so here, because these were Christian Arabs seeking alcohol–you know, the larger national security problem (as opposed to Muslim jihad).
Most Chaldeans do not identify as Arabs (they say they are a distinct culture and generally are), but some do. Some are very anti-Semitic and anti-Israel because, for the most part, they’ve adopted Arab and Muslim mores and culture. For instance, the sleazy self-appointed chief of Chaldeans in Detroit, Martin Manna, attacked me in the Detroit media as a “racist” when I stopped the FBI from giving an award to Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine Islamic terrorist Imad Hamad. Manna, co-publisher of the Chaldean News, also served on the board of the Muslim-dominated, anti-Christian, anti-Israel, and anti-Semitic Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services (ACCESS), a tax-funded welfare agency that brings many Muslim illegal aliens into the country and helps them stay here. ACCESS also funded and sponsored an anti-Semitic “Divestment” (from Israel) conference at the University of Michigan, where “annihilate the Jews!” was shouted and where convicted Islamic terrorist and Islamic Jihad terrorist group founder Sami Al-Arian was the keynote speaker. ACCESS runs an anti-Israel museum, as well, and its founder, Ismael Ahmed, said he created the organization to boycott Israel.
Michael Sarafa, a wealthy lawyer, banker, and co-publisher of the Chaldean News, also served on the board of ACCESS. He has repeatedly said that Chaldeans are Arabs and has made many statements identifying with extremist Muslims and their causes. In his “writings,” he’s attacked Americans and defended and praised extremist Muslims. He also criticized “Israeli abuse relative to the Palestinian conflict” (um, it’s TERRORISM, Mike!) and has dismissed Palestinian terrorism as “the various Palestinian strategies employed over the years in the name of being liberated from occupation.” And I’ve been on the receiving end of his dhimmi-esque Islamo-pandering hate because I wrote about Islamic extremism. In his world, despite ISIS slaughtering his people in the name of Islam, there is no Islamic extremism, just “loyal Arab Americans.”
Another self-appointed Chaldean leader, Wendy Acho, also served on ACCESS’ board and lied about it when I confronted her. She is also on the board of the American-Arab Chamber of Commerce, founded by a Shi’ite Muslim agent of Hezbollah who said he founded the group to sway American foreign policy against Israel. Dr. Jakob Mansour, a Chaldean doctor who headed the Chaldean Federation of America, is also tight with ACCESS and in bed with Muslims. I’ve had Chaldeans (and Assyrians–who are very similar) e-mail me in agreement about Muslims, but then, not knowing I’m Jewish, also attacks Jews and Israel. This is their culture. This is who they are, whether or not they are Christian.
And this goes to my point about immigration. While I would rather have more Arab Christians as immigrants to America than Muslims, I’d rather have less immigrants from the Middle East (or anywhere else) period. We have enough immigrants. Far too many. And we’re doing nothing to make them assimilate to our culture and values. Arab Christians have Arab and Middle Eastern values (and they usually identify with and defend Muslims, even on U.S. soil-eEspecially on U.S. soil). And the more of them we take in the more difficult it will be for us to absorb them, the less likely it will be that they will assimilate to American culture and values. In fact, we’ve seen that it’s mostly been the other way around–they impose their values on us and force us to assimilate to them.
While I’m sad about what’s happening to Christians in the Middle East, I’m not that sad. They were historically Jew-haters who sided with and appeased Muslims every step of the way. And now we are seeing how that’s worked out for them. They’re also people–whether they are Copts or Catholics–who chose Muslim-appeasing leaders and Popes. And, again, now we are seeing how that worked for them. Not very well. They made bets on the wrong side. And now they are reaping the rewards of their historical Jew-hatred and Islamo-pandering. No tears from me. It’s not my fault that ISIS is slaughtering them. And it doesn’t mean that because that’s happening that we need to continue to open our borders wide open for more and more of them.
The six men on the flight who disrespected the flight attendants and were violent and unruly weren’t Muslim. But they were and are Arabs, with Arab values against women and American authority and rules (hey, just like the Black Lives Matter crowd!). And they and their ilk continue to bring their anti-women, backward, warring mindsets to our soil in droves.
What happened on that flight to Chicago was only a symptom of the immigration disaster that it’s far too late to fix. That they are nominally Christian is a distinction without a difference here.
