77. No, obviously there's going to be something different about
Muslims being dangerous on planes - 911 had that effect. Maybe not rational, but it did. We also don't know the guy's tone and vehemence when he said it - and an airline is going to err on the side of caution when it comes to this stuff.

How can you say anything similar about any of those people "I want that raghead off the plane" is a combo of racism and potential violence. "I want that Wasillabilly worshipping idiot off the plane" doesn't have the same reference or the same effect. "I want that Jesus-freak off the plane?" I don't know. If you say you want another passenger off the plane, then why would the airline not err on the side of caution and put you off, so you won't be on the same plane with someone you said you didn't want on the same plane with you?
