A Fight in the Cockpit, a Plunging Jet, Passengers Who Fought Back, And Progressive Media That Wants To Downplay It

The Omani co-pilot of an Air Dubai flight flying from Dubai to Israel with 174 passengers on board including mostly Israelis, attacked and repeatedly stabbed the Indian Captain of the plane and attempted to crash the plane.

Fox News: FlyDubai pilot stabs fellow pilot, attempts to crash plane, Netanyahu says 

The Captain, during the fight ,was able to open the cockpit door and Israeli passengers  on the flight then entered, subdued the Omani attacker, and were narrowly able to prevent the plane from crashing and a relief crew on board was able to then land the place. An Israeli dentist on board helped treat the captain's stab wounds.

Lots of serious heroism all around, this was moments away from becoming a total disaster. 

The plane suffered severe damage to its tail section, including loss of most of the rudder during the terrorist-caused descent, which was in excess of the never exceed speed of the aircraft by at least 100 knots, which is one heckuva lot.  

The New York Times in a fit of deliberate understatement, reported this Muslim terrorist attempt, which was complete with an "Allahu Akbar",  as an "Altercation".  

Yep, it was just an altercation between the pilot and co-pilot and no mention of the attempt by the co-pilot to crash the plane. Just like the NYT to bury the lede like that when a certain "Religion of Peace" is involved.

ABC News, similarly, also reported it as "an incident took place inside the cockpit". 

Interestingly, the Detroit Free Press has not covered this story at all, but if they had, I assume the headline would've looked something like this:

 

Probably better the Free Press has ignored it then. 

It's likely unremarked upon by them as the incident is too close to the election of their endorsed Muslim Brotherhood supporting candidate Abdul El-Sayed for US Senate, I suppose.

The Yom Kippur Islamic Hostility Scoreboard

As unfortunately expected, there were several attempted terrorist attacks on Jews worshiping during Yom Kippur.

First, in Belleville Ontario, a courageous police police was shot while engaging a terrorist shooting at a synagogue.  The officer is critically injured but will hopefully make a full and complete recovery, but thanks to him and another responding officer, the attacker will not.

An attempted attack in Manchester, United Kingdon was foiled by counter-terrorist police who captured two men of undisclosed ethnicity who were plotting to attack a  synagogue there on Yom Kippur. This on the anniversary of last year's attack in Manchester.

The FBI interdicted an ISIS-backed terrorist attach on a Pittsburgh synagogue before it could take place, arresting the terrorist who had pledged himself to ISIS in a hotel room.

In Germany, a disaster was averted when a member of a synagogue in Wuppertal saw an Afghan national throw three firebombs at the synagogue lighting it on fire just before Yom Kippur.

This doesn't even count the multiple terrorist attacks that took place in Israel.

Yes, Islamics do like to attack people on their holy days and on Islamic holy days as well. Happily, authorities managed to stop quite a number of them.

 Expect more attempts on the anniversary of October 7, and during Christmas and Easter.

NYC: Allahu Akbar Yet Again

 So, right after Mayor Mamdani (NY-Hamasitarian) went off on a tirade against Israel, Netayahu and Zionists, a New Yorker in a most timely manner stabs a Jewish pedestrian, as well as a nearby Asian fellow pedestrian, while yelling "Allahu Akbar".

The Guardian: Double stabbing in New York City being investigated as possible hate crime

New York City police are investigating a pair of stabbings near Central Park as a possible hate crime, police commissioner Jessica Tisch said Thursday.

The suspect, Raul Morales, allegedly stabbed a 57-year-old Asian man in the back with a knife, then stabbed a 50-year-old Jewish man in the torso with a screwdriver, according to a New York police department spokesperson. Morales allegedly yelled “Allahu Akbar” before the stabbings, police said. The attacks occurred about two blocks apart and in broad daylight in Manhattan’s affluent Upper West Side neighborhood.

Only a possible hate crime, mind you.  Also, apparently Allahu Akbar now means "possibly has mental problems" in addition to its traditional meaning of "the motive for the attack will never be known"  --  even when the attacker has no known history of mental problems.

New York police were assessing whether a mental health problem had driven the suspect’s actions.

“While the perpetrator has no known mental health history with the NYPD, the initial investigation suggests that mental health may have been a factor,” Tisch tweeted in a statement on X. “At this time there is no known link between Morales and either of the victims, nor between the victims and each other.”

Quite the deflection from a hate crime to a claim of mental problems, now isn't it? 

The desperation of the authorities to obfuscate and have the motive for the attack be anything but a deliberate anti-semitic attack by an adherent of Islam is rather tiresome.

Unless, of course, the authorities want to claim that if you yell "Allahu Akbar" when you stab someone you have mental problems - but wouldn't such a claim be Islamophobic? 

The Enemy Within The Gates Of Academia

While the average academic tends to be a progressive idjit who hates America, hates Israel and Western Civilization and spreads DEI garbage to further those ends, some members of the Red-Green alliance want to take it a step further and get more spicy:

The Detroit News:  UM group orchestrated terror campaign to sever Israel ties, feds say

Federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment Wednesday against eight people linked to the University of Michigan accused of orchestrating plans to threaten university leaders, police and businesses with a wave of crimes designed to force the university to sever ties with Israel. 

And who are these fine folk?  The names are not surprising: 

Those charged in the indictment unsealed Wednesday were:

∎ Zainab Hakim, 23, of Canton Township.

∎ Amatullah Hakim, 21, of Ann Arbor.

∎ Paige Feyock, 26, of Ann Arbor.

∎ Ahmet Korkaya, 28, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

∎ Jonathan Zou, 22, of Ann Arbor.

∎ Alexander Sepulveda, 23, of Chicago.

∎ Mariam Odeh, 24, of Dearborn.

∎ Colin Weger, 24, of Ann Arbor. 

Oh, and it turns out Mariam Odeh happens to be an allegedly ex-campaign staffer for Democrat US Senate candidate Abdul Al-Sayed - even as she was paid by the campaign in March of this year, and was apparently on staff in April, so "ex" sounds rather recent don't it?  Funny coincidence, that.

The Detroit News: Ex-Abdul El-Sayed campaign staffer charged in UM threat case                                                                                                                            
Progressives seek to destroy Western Civilization.  Islam is simply not compatible with Western Civilization, even when you wrap it in academic garb.

About time we start taking this threat more seriously. 

Bury That Lede There Detroit Free Press

The Detroit Free Press: Eid celebrated by thousands in Michigan as war abroad dampens mood

Thousands of Muslims across Michigan celebrated Friday, March 20, the Eid al-Fitr holiday, marking the end of Ramadan, a month of spiritual reflection and fasting marred by wars abroad this year that affected many in metro Detroit. 

Nice job Detroit Free Press on skipping right past the elephant in the article: three Islamic terrorist attacks in the United states during Ramadan, including one in metro Detroit a few short days ago. 

No mention at all of that rather important local event, that most certainly "affected many in metro Detroit" funny, that. 

Meanwhile, the 2026 Ramadan Hostility Scoreboard includes a worldwide total of at least 133 Islamic terrorist attacks with 499 people murdered in those terrorist attacks.

No other religion has quite the reputation and track record for annually going out and committing murder during their proclaimed holy days. 

Temple Israel Attack Aftermath

There's now videos online of the various police agencies clearing the synagogue and rescuing children from the school that were there at the time of the attack. 

Unlike the Cowards of Broward or the Unqualified of Uvalde, they went about aggressively clearing the building and rescuing everyone, and ensuring everyone was taken out of the burning building. While they knew the attacker was dead at that time, having been pinned by the security guards leading him to shoot himself,  the police didn't know if there were any other attackers still there and they searched and cleared the entire building. 

They did a great job, got everyone out at serious risk to themselves, with quite a number of them suffering from smoke inhalation as they put their lives on the line to save innocents,  and  make sure everyone was out.

In short, the responding police agencies did their jobs, and did them well.

The pictures of the interior show the extensive damage from the fire.

The Detroit News:  Temple Israel shows inside of synagogue in aftermath of attack.

It's going to be quite some time before the synagogue can be used again and it needs to be extensively repaired and renovated. 

Active Shooting Attack At Temple Israel In West Bloomfield

So far details are sketchy, but police are warning that there has been an active shooting  and vehicle ramming attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield.

Schools in the area went into lock-down and there is a heavy police response, as it should be.

The Detroit News:  Active shooter incident at West Bloomfield Twp. synagogue

 Waiting on more details, but its unlikely to be the Amish, just saying.

Update 2:36pm:  A fire was caused by the vehicle ramming attack, and the shooter has now apparently been effectively engaged and is now deceased. 

Update 8:46pm:  Attacker was stopped and killed by Armed security.

And, exactly as predicted it was not the Amish.

Attacker is Ayman Ghazali of Dearborn Heights and he's an expatriate from Lebanon, likely with ties to Hezbollah. 

FBI has described it as a targeted attack against the Jewish community. No kidding. 

Mug Him Again!

There was a joke, coincidentally told first in New York City, about a liberal judge, known for being soft on criminals and giving them light sentences for crimes due to, in his mind, that they were just misunderstood victims of society.  

This judge related during a presentation on his lenient sentencing policies that he had just been mugged on the way to the same presentation.

"Not to worry", he told the approving progressive crowd, "this unfortunate mugging will not change how I rule from the bench!".

An old lady in the crowd then yelled "Mug Him Again!". 

When the Islamists threw their bombs at the Gracie Mansion, there was a similar but absolutely real display of progressive suicidal empathy.

During the demonstration,  a man, Walter Masterson, who happens to be a far-left comedian (which is kinda fitting but he's not particularly funny) with a megaphone on the pro-Islamist side of the demonstration, had in fine progressive leftist fashion just piously announced: 

"as a born and raised New Yorker, we welcome everyone into this city"

Just as he said that, "Pennsylvania teenager"  Emir Balat threw a bomb right over his head, complete with an  "Allahu Akbar" which apparently, per leftists,  is Arabic for "Thank you for your welcoming feelings":

Masterson ducked. 

Has this experience changed Mr. Masterson's outlook on welcoming jihadists to the city of New York at all?

No, it has not. Instead he proudly stated the event has not changed his leftists outlook at all, and he "didn’t become a xenophobic bigot” from the experience.

Thank goodness for that.

In short, he has learned nothing from it. 

An impressive display of leftist suicidal empathy. 

Maybe throw a bomb over his head again? 

No Matter How Much You Disdain The Mainstream Media

It's probably Not Enough.

After the attempted bombing in new York City of an anti-Islamic demonstration by two Islamists, the mainstream media hasn't just bent over backwards but twisted themselves in knots to obfuscate, downplay, confuse, cover-up and outright lie about the attack.

CNN started off by depicting the two Muslim attackers as "Pennsylvania men" who just happened to be going to New York City but whose trajectory somehow took a dark turn:

 No mention at all of them yelling "Allahu Akbar" prior to throwing the devices, and in reading the glowing description of them, you would think they threw the bomb as part of an anti-Muslim protest rather than AT an "anti-Muslim protest". No mention of them making the ISIS Islamic salute after they were captured, either.

CNN then doubled down, as noted by Instapundit, reporting falsely that the bomb was thrown at Muslim Mayor of New York Mamdani. 

If your news source is CNN, you have simply no clue as to the actual facts of this occurrence (and likely any other news of import that a journo would not wish to shade to favor progressives or Islamists), at all. 

That's One Turkey Who Won't Make It To Thanksgiving

The Jerusalem Post: Florida police kill Turkish man threatening Tallahassee synagogue, Ron DeSantis 

A Florida resident shot and killed a Turkish national on Thursday after deputies said they saw him reaching for a gun while they were serving him a warrant related to threats he had made against both a Tallahassee synagogue and public officials, the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office said.

Ali Bayhan, 38, was suspected of making threats against multiple elected officials, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and of calling in a bomb threat to Temple Israel in Tallahassee, the office told local media station WCJB.

Threatening terrorist attacks on a synagogue and the governor of a state, and then pulling a firearm on sheriff's deputies when they come to arrest you is going to end in the appropriate result. 

FBI Interdicts Terrorist Cell In Dearborn

Its rather productive when the FBI focuses on actual threats rather than say parents at PTA meetings. 

The Detroit News; FBI arrests Michiganians accused of plotting terrorist attack over Halloween weekend

 Don't you love how the headline identifies the suspects in Dearbornistan as  Michiganians?

The Detroit Free Press: Terrorist plot thwarted in Michigan, FBI Director Kash Patel says: What we know

Very little has been released identifying the suspects or the nature of the plot so far, or it has been released, and the mainstream media here has decided revealing such would be too politically incorrect. 

Apparently the terrorist attack was to take place this weekend, so good job to the FBI for interdicting that.

Jai Hind

So it looks like India has finally had enough of Pakistan's FA, and is having them FO the cost of having proxy Islamic terrorist groups attack India.

After Pakistan has been funding, sheltering, and using not-really-deniable terrorist groups as proxies, the Indians have finally had enough.

AP:  India-Pakistan Live: Islamabad vows retaliation after India's 'Operation Sindoor' strikes kill 26

Pakistan's latest supported terrorist group's terrorist attack in April was a step too far for India to tolerate.  Pakistan had been the supplier and base for the Mumbai attacks and countless others and they've gotten away without retaliation for doing so.

Until now.

India hit terrorist training sites in Pakistan in response to the latest attack. Part of this is due to India's new more friendly relationship with the United States and both nations troubles with Islamic terrorism.  The USA had long backed Pakistan over India as India was semi-involved/kinda sorta/it's complicated,  in the Soviet sphere of influence, but that support has worm thin, especially as Pakistan was supporting the Taliban against us in Afghanistan.

This does up the stakes, as Pakistan and India have had open warfare before and as each side has nuclear weapons things can get out of hand unless overall deterrence is reestablished.

However, a relationship where Pakistan can continue to send terrorists over the border to attack Indian civilians without any response is no longer tenable or acceptable, nor should it have been. 

Pakistan has long organized, trained, sheltered, funded, and then sent terrorist groups over to India and then  said "Who, Us?" each time after an attack, and continued a low-level conflict.

India is no longer permitting that, which is a good thing and may just re-establish an overall deterrence to have Pakistan stop the continued attacks when there is a cost imposed on Pakistan for these acts.  

It's a high-risk situation, but the current status quo of ignoring Pakistani responsibility for the myriad of terrorist attacks is not acceptable to India, nor should it be.
