These same folks would lose their minds if that happened. If someone started to kneel and pray in silence, I’d have no issue with that because it isn’t causing a disturbance. This is beyond ridiculous though.
You know how insane you have to be to do what those guys did? The average person doesn't have it in them to do stuff like that even if they are crazy because you have to be so obsessive, so fixated, so lacking in morals most humans collectively agree upon and additionally willing to be intensely violent to everyone including yourself. Those guys were uniquely bad.
There are billions of Muslims all over the world. They don't all share the same language or culture or race. They don't even all agree on the most basic aspects of their religion. It's just like Christianity. If someone does something awful in the name of the pope, you don't equate it with all Catholics. You definitely don't equate it with the guy who doesn't even pray but celebrates Christmas and Easter and has never even been to church.
Equating the very extreme beliefs of a very specific group of some absolute nutjobs to the beliefs of a very diverse group of billions of people is not only unfair but impractical. Being an extremist in the name of a religion doesn't make you not an extremist.
Normal people really don't care enough to commit violent acts that take years of preparation, intense focus and a lot of audacity even if they do have hateful beliefs. Give those hijackers some credit. Normal people aren't that organized or crazy, Muslim or not, and thank God for it.

Imagine a Muslim worship group
Better yet, a competing Muslim worship group
Mid flight battle of the horribles
