One side says they were just praying.
The other says they were praying before-hand, but then separated (6 total) to each exit on the plane, two asked for seatbelt extenders and did not use them.
Were they probing to see what they could do before people would get so nervous they called the fuzz?
Were they acting this way to make it so others could do these same things without getting reported because people would be labeled racists for reporting it?
Were they simply praying, and all the testimony from passengers and crew is just a (Phil Collins said it best) pack of lies? LOL...

1st guy: Keep your propaganda sites to yourself please. Your 'truth' is not necessarily the actual truth, and your assertion thatit is is very arrogant.

There are probably parts to this story that our government does not want us to know. And we will probably never find out!

Being that no explosives were found, no knives, no guns. Maybe they were just praying. Being that there are so many people who are nervous enough about Muslims then of course the majority will see it as something is up. Maybe they were making a point. If a group of Christian missionaries were traveling together they will openly pray without anything being said of it. They might not all sit together on a plane, or use the same exit even though they are together.
Really the people to be leery of are the ones who are trying to blend in, not wearing robes or anything that would make you stand out.

They were doing a "dry" run.
First group of airplane terrorists on 9/11 worked in groups of 5. the plane that was taken down in Penn was missing one terrorist.
After 9/11, there was a flurry of potential hostage situations, in which the passengers overwhelmed the individual, sometimes almost killing him.
Terrorists have realized that they need 6 people to effectively comandeer a plane.
They were probing for reactions from the passengers, the crew and the pilot. They were disobeying requests of the crew to see what their window of time would be before passengers took it upon themselves to act (whether doing something or reporting).
This information and intelligence gathering mission is useful for the next group of terorists that will actually blow up a plane.

I seriously doubt they were real terrorists. If they were they might as well have worn T shirts that say "I am a terrorist and I am about to blow up this plane". That makes no sense so that leaves two possibilities. Either they were innocently praying, in which case they really were wronged. Or they decided to bust some b@lls and create an artificial incident. From what I've read the last option sounds likely.

They were doing to get atttention. It should be noted a Jewish Rabbi also once were taken off the plane for praying.
Maybe praying is no longer allowed?
It should be noted real believers don't attract attention very much, even in prayers.

Maybe they were praying. Maybe they were up to no good. Maybe the exact thing they planned to have happen happened, that is exciting the Islamic public against the US government.
