jaathi buddi yelli hogatte ... put him to jail for shouting Pro jihadist slogans .. haha one his ummah third rated fellow is giving long lecture ...
The story may be a different :
First of all the passenger I believe they are Muslims.
Secondly if two persons sitting together and if they talk anything
how others will come to know. Anyone talks loudly?
Thirdly talking about ISIS is a crime??? we always talk about these terrorists group and their killing innocents etc. Is this crime??
Even though if we assume they are supporters of ISIS , are they crazy to support and talk in public??
The reason may be different, simply to make this issue a big , the airlines crew made this drama.
WE ALL EVEN LOUDLY AND WITH ALL OUR SPIRIT SHOULD SAY
THAT THE ISIS IS A MOST DANGEROUS , CRUEL AND ANTI HUMAN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION AND WE SHOULD DO ALL OUT WAR AGAINST THESE DEADLY TERRORISTS.
send this ISIS lover to Iraq / Syria and let him enjoy there. such people are burden to our society. If he is so much interested in ISIS he should join them and no need to come to India.
