Sometimes I wonder what had happened to my profession
Easy jet captain refuses to carry a Christian who has a prayer app on his Phone.
Man removed from UK flight over 'prayer' message on phone | UK news | The Guardian
Having heard Ali G on the wireless today and after reading the article the phrase "is It cos I is Black?" comes to mind.
A disgrace

Ye gods, what a load of offensive halfwits.
Not that we're short of them.
Personally I subscribe to no religion, and regard most of the blighters with mild suspicion, but stopping people from travelling is exactly the sort of persecution that creates terrorism.

What about the guy who started all this? Where's he and what about a civil case against him; as he was proved wrong. This BS is astonishing. It was not too long ago, in UK, that a lady worker was sacked because she refused to remove a crucifix while at work.
So what does a C of E priest have to do? take off his dog-collar when not in church? And the flock of nuns boarding a flight? Are they provocative? More likely they'll scratch your eyes out if you question their devote ethics.
Can't wait for the Druids and Franciscan friars to have a group booking together.
And what would you do if a bunch of Arsenal supporters in full kit, and a bunch of Spurs supporters in full kit wanted to travel to Manchester on the same flight because one was playing at United and the other at City. What a powder keg that might be. What would you do if a pax complained that he was a Chelsea man and refused to travel for safety reasons?
It reminds me of a story about a long-haul flight. The middle front row of economy had 3 seats. There was an old lady in one aisle seat and a pompous business man in the other, the centre was empty. The business man kept asking for an upgrade; he said he had much work to do and need space to spread his papers and...and....and. After enough of this BS the purser invited the old lady to business class and said the guy now had 3 seats and enough room.
So the captain could ask all those who did not want to travel with this security cleared pax, who was behaving calmly and correctly, to leave the a/c.
Find me another country where flying the national flag is considered provocation. Maybe Donald T should apply to sort out England. (Ha, tongue in cheek)

it is funny to see that when about 60% of population in Uk are christians. lol
If now christians arrest each other, bravo les gars, keep going ! good luck to your society.
It is not about the profession, it is just about human being and how they have changed due to terrorism.

As the size of the aviation industry has boomed over the last 15 years then so has the number of pilots and therefore the "variety" and perhaps "quality" too.
"Bus driver with a haircut" used to be a phrase used as a bit of a sharp dig at pilots. Now its become very ironic.
"God" has no place on any flightdeck.

Good job you weren't flying in early BOAC days then.
There was a joke about the psychiatrist who died and went to Heaven being met by St Peter at the door, who said " Glad you've come, we're having a bit of trouble with God, he thinks he's a BOAC Captain.

It doesn't appear that anyone here knows the true facts; it is unlikely that the captain made the decision lightly. So many experts coming to conclusions based on no information...

If you are suspicious then speak up!
take everybody off and conduct a full search.
A search, within the provisions of the already over stringent security rules will indeed have been conducted, but not to satisfy the blind xenophobia of some uneducated nutters. And I use the term advisedly, as (if the report is correct) even when the situation was explained to them, at least one passenger was still reluctant to fly. So maybe uneducateable is a better term.
I find wry amusement at the plight of the self-unloaders who found themselves several hours later in the same boat, as it were.
