1. Why don't you do it and find out for us....
Honestly most people would just be like, WTF?

Or you would end up serving a life sentence in G-tanmo baby.

Pick your poison

2. If people weren't so ignorant, nothing would happen.
Because "Allahua Akbar" (or "God is great") is a relatively common Muslim phrase that is used in everyday prayers.

Now on the other hand, someone preparing for martyrdom is more likely to say "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is His Prophet". So if you say THAT on a plane, prepare to get your ass kicked. Or shot if there's a trigger happy sky marshall on board.

3. I would be very worried.
I think anyone who says it wouldn't concern him/her is not being honest.

4. I don't know, but if you yell out "I HAVE TO POOP"
people will laugh and snicker. Don't ask me how I know.

9. Shouldn't that be "Allahu akbar"?
These parody threads are so silly.

10. Depends. If you said it just before the elections, you'd become a major
news story and part of an imminent terrorist plot meant to hijack five planes and crash them into the New York subway system. If you said it at any other time, people would glare at you, and any actual Muslims on the plane would correct your grammar and pronounciation, and hopefully lecture you about furthering racist stereotypes for amusement purposes.
