Assalamu aleikum. Corporate media in the US is largely ignoring an attempted airplane crash attack that terrorized frightened passengers of a United 737 plane on its approach to Seattle. Search google news for "Jeanne Dempsey" and only a handful of references to the terror perp will show up.
None of that handful of references use the terms "terror", "terrorist" or terrorism in reference to Dempsey's attempt to bring down the plane. Police are covering up for Dempsey, and have charged her not with 1 count of attempted murder for each passenger on board, but only for investigation of "malicious mischief". They are looking for alcohol and prescription medicine excuses for Dempsey's terrorist attack. Jeanne Dempsey is a middle-aged white woman, which no doubt accounts for the deferential approach to her terrorism. Suppose the perp had been Muslim - what would the media monkeys be saying then? Would the article be titled "Muslim Accused Of Trying to Open Plane Door in Flight" or would it be titled "Muslim Terror Attack on Airplane Foiled"? Would excuses be sought in explanations related to the use of medicines? And what would be the charge upon landing? Would it be mere malicious mischief - or the attempted murder of each passenger? --- Woman Accused Of Trying To Open Plane Door In Flight Associated Press August 4, 2005 http://www.local6.com/news/4807759/detail.html - photo: Flight 1195, en route from Denver, was reportedly at an altitude of about 4,000 feet Wednesday when the 52-year-old woman from Dania Beach, sitting at the rear of the Boeing 737, left her seat and tried to open an exit door. http://images.ibsys.com/2005/0804/4807844.jpg - SEATTLE -- A Florida woman accused of trying to open a United Airlines jet exit door as the flight descended into Seattle was arrested when the plane landed safely, Port of Seattle police said. Flight 1195, en route from Denver, was reportedly at an altitude of about 4,000 feet Wednesday when Jeanne Dempsey, 52, sitting at the rear of the Boeing 737, left her seat and tried to open an exit door. Dempsey, who is from Dania Beach, failed but "she did manage to turn the handle far enough that a warning light went on in the cockpit," Seattle-Tacoma International Airport spokesman Bob Parker told KING-TV. "Ultimately, at the urging of the flight attendant, she went and sat back down," he said. Those on board said no one tried to physically restrain the woman. Parker said those who saw her at the door made a "conscious choice" to stay securely belted in their seats just in case she did manage to open the door. The woman was arrested for investigation of malicious mischief when the plane landed at 1:30 p.m. Port police were investigating whether alcohol and prescription medication were involved. A United spokesman did not immediately return a call for comment. http://www.local6.com/news/4807759/detail.html *************************************************************************** {Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better.
