[UPDATED] CONTINENTAL FLIGHT 1118: Muslim screaming “Allahu Akbar” was tackled and restrained by passengers

“But now the TSA is reporting “It was not a security threat!” Riiiiiight!

The Blaze  A Continental Airlines passenger was tackled by fellow fliers and later detained after he caused a disturbance on a flight from Portland to Houston on Tuesday. The man reportedly tried to light an electronic cigarette and began screaming “Allah is great!” KHOU-TV has the report, which also notes the disturbance may have started when the man and his friend were trying to sit by each other and couldn’t. It also includes some emotional interviews with fellow passengers:

According to KHOU, the man has not been charged with anything yet, but he was taken into custody once the plane landed in Portland. The pilot had apparently turned the plane around once the disturbance ensued.

According to Continental, though, there was not security threat.

WELL, WELL, the unruly Muslim on the plane was a Saudi national, who was arrested last Sunday for drunk driving,  ramming two cop cars, and attempting to run over pedestrians.

The Smoking Gun (H/T HSD) The man who repeatedly yelled “Allah is great” as he was removed yesterday from a plane that was forced to make an emergency landing due to his unruly behavior is a 19-year-old Saudi Arabian who was arrested Sunday night after he led Oregon police on a drunken car chase that saw him ram two cop cars and attempt to run over pedestrians, The Smoking Gun has learned.

Yazeed Abunayyan

According to investigators, Yazeed Mohammed Abunayyan was smoking an electronic cigarette on a Continental Airlines flight traveling from Portland to Houston. When a flight attendant directed Abunayyan to stop smoking (or relinquish the device), he refused and began “yelling profanities and swinging his fist at the flight attendant,”according to an indictment filed this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Portland.

Abunayyan, pictured above, also hit or attempted to hit other passengers and was “speaking or singing about Usama bin Laden and his hatred of women,” the indictment charges. Abunayyan, who reportedly has been in the U.S. visiting relatives, was charged with a felony count of interfering with flight crew members.

Police reported that the intoxicated teenager led them on a 20-minute chase that ended after his Ford sedan got stuck on a dirt embankment. During the chase, Abunayyan was spotted driving in circles, attempting to run over pedestrians, and driving the wrong way on a street. He also rammed two patrol cars.

Abunayyan was booked late Sunday into the Jackson County jail on a variety of charges, including driving under the influence of intoxicants, assault on a police officer, criminal mischief, hit and run, and reckless endangerment.

He was freed from custody Monday around 6 PM after posting $65,000 bond. Which allowed him, a day later, to board Flight 1118, albeit briefly

    They are so supreme and superior they don’t HAVE to obey any corporate or national laws and rules, don’tcha know???
    Nothing more than two legged barrows~!

  2. cmh says:

    Threatening behaviour, certainly!!!! This muslim obviously is angry and crazy like the rest of the fanatics. Can you imagine anyone else getting by with this??? NO! Why is everyone so afraid to state the obvious? They “muslim fanatics” are enemies to everything holy, good, and pure!

    • Lock and Load says:

      Amen !! Looks like you and I are two of the few that are not concerned with PC’ness. If he wasn’t part of the problem he wouldn’t have performed those actions. ALSO, I didn’t think lighters were allowed on commercial aircraft.Am I wrong? How do those work then? Can you guess, I’m a non smoker.

      • Rob169 says:

        They run off batteries no that you charge with batteries. the smoke is just water vapors. No second hand smoke also comes in many flavors

  3. shaz says:

    Gut feeling on this; this was a test, a dry run- Probably told to cause a commotion and see what happens, see what passengers would do etc. Allahu Akbar is enough of a security threat b/c of what usually follows that scream! Unbelievable idiots -TSA!
    Good for the passengers on this flight.

  4. PebblesDarlun says:

    BNI 1st time comment…I applaud you for what you do, I really do! Someone should have thrown a shoe at him, wiped that smug off his face.

    • barenakedislam says:

      Pebbles, welcome and thank you. On any plane today, the male passengers will take down anyone whose behavior is suspicious (In every case, it has been a muslim). Having posted about several of these incidents before, it is ALWAYS the male passengers who grab the potential Muslim terrorist and restrain him until they are on the ground.

      • ronmorgen says:

        You are very observant of historical paterns. Ie, in EVERY case it was a Muslim. There are many bad trees, but this Islam seems to produce the worst fruit of them all.

  5. Susan K says:

    These muslims must be made to pay the economic costs of the plane returning to the terminal and taking off again. Furthermore, they should be held liable for all financial loss of anybody on board due to late arrival to destination.

    Only when this policy is instaured will they learn to behave as normal humans on an aircraft.

  6. jim says:

    Me thinks people running our government must have escaped from a mental institution

  7. missymoo says:

    Hopefully some liberals were on the plane and got some head out there butt… I dont wish this on anyone Im glad they survived but I hope it was an eye opener.

  8. nomosque says:

    More of these trouble making bums contributing to the civilised world. I wonder what kind of government handouts these clowns are receiving??? All I heard today was this koran burning thing in afganistan on the radio over and over again,
    I heard nothing of this from the mainstream media today. Hey cair f*ck-faces, are the wheels turning on how you can bring a lawsuit against continental on this one???

    Nothing but trouble with islam day after day, year after year, decade after decade and century after century(14 of them).

  9. missymoo says:

    Oh really TSA I think we should let them know that it was a security threat!!! id ask them if they would enjoy being on that airplane? whats there number?

  10. Curlyhammed, Larryhammed and Moehammed says:

    Boy, will this guy take it hard when he finds out that Allah was crushed by the Lunar Lander in 1969!!

  11. Linda says:

    Screaming Allah is Great or anything else on a plane is TERRORISM. I dont’ care if they think it wasn’t a security threat.

    • missymoo says:

      maybe we should all scream allah on the plane and see what happens

    • Alain says:

      Oh but no, they won’t call a duck a duck! Terrorism? Nah, he simply wasn’t used to alcohol and had a few before boarding, that’s all, like when he went on a drunken ‘grand theft auto’ spree that weekend.

      See one of their double standards at play here? muzzies NOT supposed to drink, forbidden, verboten, interdit!!! And who’s bright idea was this? Well that delusional momo of course. Why? As the legend goes, once upon a time, momo had a friend called Sergius, a MONK if you please. They drank, and drunk, and fell asleep. A soldier then killed Sergius and placed the murder weapon in the hand of the sleeping drunk momo, thus framing him for murder.

      But hey, the means justify the ends so let not one inconvenient little legend get in the way when it comes to crushing us infidels!

  12. PebblesDarlun says:

    I was on a flight where three would not sit down, they kept huddling by the bathroom together, I felt like i was the only one alarmed, the worse part is they kept laughing. It was a long unenjoyable flight!

    • barenakedislam says:

      PD, did you complain to the flight attendant? If you did and she did not respond, you should have politely asked to talk to the pilot and do it in a loud enough voice that other passengers would also back you.

  13. NikitaAnne says:

    Bravo to the men who immediately sprang into action…how alarming for the passengers to be subjected to this trial run.

    When I was in China three Muslim men were ahead of me going through airport security – they were drunk, carrying a nearly empty bottle of JD and arrogantly refusing to dispose of it. Liquids on a plane – big no no but they rudely demanded an exception. Shocking! They got whisked away by a swarm of very serious looking uniformed officials. I sailed through security with a smile on my face…the Chinese don’t mess around and I love it!

  14. Doug Hart says:

    The ‘standard advice’ for aircraft that had been hijacked prior to 9-11-2001 was to “Cooperate – go wherever they wish to go – do not resist – everything will be OK – No need for anyone to get hurt…”

    Now we know better. Regardless of what the IDIOTS at TSA say, this WAS a DELIBERATE provacation (and probably a TEST) but I don’t think American Passengers WILL EVER ALLOW muslims to ‘take over’ a plane in flight EVER AGAIN (no matter what TSA says).

    And I second the sentiment above, THANK YOU BNI for all you say and do!

    Islamic hate is an end in itself.

    “Hate and kill the infidels!” – Ayatollah Khomeini

    Charming religion of hate!

    Islam = genocide

  16. It is so good to witness more American citizens waking to the “real deal” of Islam and are taking courageous stances against the Muslim Jihadist who are the greatest terror and oppressor to their own peoples through threats and acts of murder against them.

    However, what the world is witnessing in this matter and other Muslim related issues throughout the world, especially the so-called “Arab Spring”, i.e. Syria, et al…is that finally after 1400 years, the rapid ending of Islam as a fear base religious polity is about to end

    Please visit see the Vision of Obadiah at http://www.TedHayes.US or direct link at

    http://tedhayes.us/Israel_vision_of_obadiah.htm

    It talks about this developing phenomenon concerning the religion of the House of Esau (Arabs et al). “The House of Esau Is On Fire”

    Thanks GOD!

    Shalom!

        Just read the Obediah prophecy on another website and yours as well. Really these people don’t understand what is going to happen to them. God’s word says, they will be wiped off the earth and He keeps his promise. And its going to happen soon! Lord have mercy.

    why was the sob left alive for the police? One less muslim to worry about later!

  18. st stephen says:

    Maybe we should have a national “Protest TSA Day” to show our disdain for the incompetent fools that they are. However, I wish to remind everyone, at some point in the near future, Muslims in all walks of life, we attain certain managerial, supervisory and political positions and then it will be too late. Look at the UK, the police and politicians are afraid to stand up to the Muslim fanatics. If you think it’s not coming to America or that it would never happen, you are sadly mistaken. Stand up and fight these terds!!!!!!!

    The whole story from beginning to end – http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/smoking-saudi-flyer-busted-985612

    Includes how he was already out on bail before he boarded the plane – which I didn’t think could happen….

  20. John Carman says:

    Those young guys should pay for screaming their favorite phrase as if it was a “bomb scare” or a “fire” in a crowded movie theater.
    Let them pay for their crime especially after the threats and terrorists attacks on innocent people on 9-11. If they aren’t U.S. Nationals or Citizens, make them serve up to 5 years or so and deport them to another country of OUR choosing.

    I can assure you solitary confinement is a good thing for stupid ignorant young “terrorists” like these two guys. They are laughing at OUR Justice system now cause they have no sense, and they do not know what it is like to be in real pain.

    Why isn’t there a “Federal Air Marshal”(FAM) on each flight anyway? Domestic vs. International? What’s the difference?

    I can assure you the Israeli’s don’t have such problems and will NOT tolerate such an outburst.

    There is more I could say, but I think you get the general idea.

    hopefully , they pounded his nuts in so he cant have little terrorist nazis

  22. shmujew says:

    remember liberals, its the 85 year old white women that are the terrorists.

  23. Keith Mahone (aka Charles Martel) says:

    Could there be a litigation Jihad angle here, too? I can just hear the liberals screaming about free speech and how it’s not illegal to “say” Allah is great.

  24. ICE says:

    This fire brings about the Caliphate. Then all the walls com tumbling down. This is when We as a nation are ready to push all the buttons,, The Hundred and forty four thousand are killed and Jesus Christ speaks and ends all the Evil.

  25. wtd says:

    UK Daily Mail article identifies the cretin
    as Saudi teen, Yazeed Mohammed Abunayyan.

    “When he boarded the plane in Portland, Abunayyan was free on $65,000 bail after being arrested Sunday night in a town 285 miles to the south following a ‘Grand Theft Auto’-style police chase, during which he allegedly rammed two squad cars and tried to run down a pedestrian — all while grinning wildly. On Tuesday, when a flight stewardess asked Abunayyan to turn off his cigarette, passengers say he started screaming, punching at the woman and singing or muttering about dead Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

    and

    “Before the fracas aboard the plane, Abunayyan, a Saudi Arabian national, was visiting family members five hours from Portland in Ashland, Oregon.
    On Sunday night, he allegedly led officers on a bizarre, 20-minute low speed police chase that was like something out of a violent video game, one witness said.
    ‘It was like “Grand Theft Auto,’ Adrian Olesnyckyj told the Ashland Daily Tidings. ‘Initially, I thought it was someone who skidded out because it was raining.’
    But when the driver skidded three times: ‘… that’s when I knew something was up, so I called the cops,’ Olesnyckyj said.
    During the chase, which never exceeded 40 miles per house, Abunayyan slammed into one place car in a parking lot and then tried to run down a pedestrian.
    He then hit another squad car twice, before running his car into an embankment, according to police.
    Abunayyan’s dome light was on during the chase and officers reported that they could see him grinning as he eluded them.
    He was booked on charges of driving under the influence of intoxicants, reckless driving, eluding police, two charges of first-degree criminal mischief, three charges of hit and run, six charges of reckless endangerment, and two charges of assault on an officer.

    This PC insanity is what caused the Ft. Hood massacre!
    Truth be know my greatest fear of the GW replacement election was the YES MEN and COAT HOLDERS the new president would be saddled with! The ones that Cheeny, Rummy, Rove and gw advanced! The Combined Armed Farces Report on Ft. Hood does not associate the murders with a terrorist act! This Muslim MD’s gun had Admirals and Generals fingers on it as well as his! This scum sucker never should have been able to wear a US Armed Forces uniform! EVERY! Sad that he can only be executed once and those who enabled this to take place are not brought to justice! China terminated the CEO who permitted the cat food kill our animals! THAT was justice while our military plays “Cover Our Ass” at the expense of some very wonderful and caring men and woman!

  27. MoonBeamWatcher says:

    We have a General who attacked the preacher for burning a Koran and said NOTHING about the UN Workers who were murdered by ‘upset’ Muslims. This Coat Holder is now in charge of AMERICA’S CIA.

  28. Dajjal says:

    Let them fly magic carpets; ban them from all mass transit vehicles & terminals. Make the USA a No-Fly Zone for Muslims.

    Good luck,

      Khalid, welcome. We consider ex-Muslims among our most cherished posters. Hope you will come back soon. FYI, when CAIR got this site kicked off WordPress, it was 3 different ex-Muslims who offered to host my site. Now, one of them is.

  30. Liana says:

    TSA wass too busy fondling kids and old ladies and pretending they don’t notice he was a muzzie to check him out properly.

  31. Laura Keel says:

    The time has come for a person visiting this website to found, Kaffir airlines.

    `We at Kaffir airlines offer all the amenities, you the discriminating rider could ask for. You asked and we delivered, plush pig skin leather seats. Not enough, we also added kosher meals with blessed Israeli wines, no halal on our flights. Enjoy the civilized way to travel, Kaffir airlines, the way the civilized man travels.’ Small print – Kaffir reserves the right to exclude people wearing body bag clothes or use the name Mohammad in all its variations.

  32. Greg says:

    He was very lucky he wasn’t beaten within an inch of his life by the passengers!

  33. missymoo says:

    So let me get this straight… 19 years old not even allowed to drink in America nor in Saudi arabia… Trying to kill people with an assault as a car.. Then terrorizing people on an airplane? Where did he get the money to get out on bail? Perhaps foreign oil resevers? but this guy isnt a threat.. Ill be damned if I did what he did Id make national news.

  34. ronmorgen says:

    TSA said it was not a security risk. No, not in retrospect, but while it is happening you don’t know that. You must act on what is apparently happening or you may wind up dead. They did the right thing by subduing him.

  35. John says:

    TSA, like the UN and the whole obama administration and the Generals that appologize for making muzzies mad are all fkin WORTHLESS. They are more interested in not provoking muzscum and protecting muzscum rights than watching out for good, honest American citizens.

  36. smoothlee says:

    TSA say it wasn’t a security issue. Maybe not. This man sounds like he has some seious social/behavioral/psychological problems. But all those passengers certainly at the time of the incident wouldn’t have understood it as such. It had to a very frightening experience to witnes someone, appearing to be of middle eastern origin, going berserk and screaming in mid-flight “allah is great.”

  37. John says:

    So 80 year old white women and little 4 year old kids the TSA sees as possible threats but not this shit bag. They are worthless, incompetant, dhimmis.

  38. The Mindset says:

    look at him
    he looks terrorist from his face :(

  39. Natalie says:

    Perhaps one day I shall b on one such flight. It’ll b a real shame when my elbow crushes one such individuals wind pipe. I might cry or then again I might smile
