A rhastaman from Nigeria, went to Amsterdam and then took a flight to Michigan as stoned as a man can get with a makeshift "explosive" device, burnt himself while trying to use it and while the plane was on the ground. When caught, he stated he was working for Al Kaida.
Pretty lame reason for Obama to start an African campaign...

Oh and by the way, african names have nothing to do with Middle Eastern and this man is way too "black" to be Middle Eastern.

No offense towards anyone but the American Government.
Im really tired of all this "Middle East is jealous of us cause we preserve freedom".

We think alike here.
Nothing like keeping the public traumatised.

There was a Dutch guy who was sitting a few seats away and did not panic--he jumped over the seats and put the fire out, then helped an attendant subdue the terrorist.

I had a good friend from Iran. We would go sailing together. After a good long day in the sun he would be Black as pitch.

Just a first hand observation.

People from Iran and Nigeria don't even come close to looking the same.
Very different peoples.

You havn't travelled much.
But anyway leaving side the historic ethnic diversity of pre colonial Nigeria, the increased diversity from the colonial era and now the more modern diversity from the oil production phase...can you tell me in simple but difinitive terms what colour a Nigerian is?
Now explain what colour a middle eaterner is.
Maybe explain what a black arab, Afro-turk and African Jew are amd show some colour as a measure.
While you are at it can you explain how someone who had nothing to do with the middle east was apparently in places like Dubai and Yemen, which if I am not much mistaken and they haven't moved across the globe are in a place known as the middle east.

On the ground? Do you read the news. It was during landing approach and where do know that he was stoned and is a rhastaman?

If he was a rhasta I'd doubt he would be blowing anything up.

The father of the terrorist is a former Nigerian ministre and banker. He has warned the US of his own son, saying that he admired Al Quaida and had turned to strict Islam. Once again we see an Islamic terrorist not matching the still often assumed "typical" schemes of character and social background of terrorists: being poor, uneducated and social loosers without perspectives, and religion being the less attractice for them the higher their social class and education is.

I heard he's going to sue the occupants on the plane for roughing him up.
I kid.

He should consider himself lucky there weren't a few passengers mad enough to tear him limb from limb before the plane landed
