//A Londoner was removed from an easyJet flight by armed police after another passenger spotted a message on his phone referring to “prayer” and mistakenly feared he was a terrorist.
Laolu Opebiyi, 40, a Christian, was using WhatsApp to arrange a conference call prayer session with friends, as the Amsterdam-bound flight was waiting to take off at Luton airport on Thursday February 25.
But he was pulled off the flight by two firearms officers after a fellow passenger read the message over his shoulder and alerted cabin crew, who raised the alarm with police.
It is thought the man misread the name of Mr Opebiyi's prayer group “ISI men” – which stands for “iron sharpens iron” from a Bible quote – as Isis.//
Gromit's religious nut job! When asked to justify calling him a 'nut job', Gromit replies.....
/// It says in the report...

Clearly anyone who believes in such mumbo-jumbo is a potential terrorist.///
Irony or what?
