Was the other pilot (who remained in the cockpit and apparently locked the first pilot out), Islamic?
I asked that question before they found the black box. I'm guessing YES.
Islam is against suicide. It is against Islamic law to commit suicide. So, anyone saying or claiming he/she is a Muslim and then commits suicide is not acting as a Muslim. Whether or not this person was Christian, Muslim, Jewish-- he/she was not acting in compliance with the laws of that religion. However, the co-pilot's name has be published and it is not an Muslim name at all. It's a very German name.
Pleaze.
I grow tired of people saying that all the myriad numbers of terrorists groups who claim Mo as their own are not really Muslim.
I guess to be Muslim only means marrying 9 year old girls, taking female sex slaves, treating women as second class citizens, and personally behead hundreds of defenseless prisoners.
