With the risk of leaning towards what Danny (rightfully so) doesn't want, there is a huge difference between Malaysian Airlines and American Airlines.
Malaysia is a Muslim country, simple. The United States of America is............
I have used Malysian (and Emirates for that matter) with the full knowledge of the countries they represent, and what occurs. If you don't want to see the "moving map" and the direction of Mecca, you can change the channel or not look at it. A P.A. announcement, WHOLE different thing (I suppose you could always put your fingers in your ears!). I tend to listen to EVERY announcement during a flight, fully expecting the driver to impart information reagrding the flight. But to also ask passengers to involve themselves is a step even further than a little too far!
