She acknowledged that it wasn't a fair thing to do. So why press the point? I probably wouldn't have gotten off the plane, but I would have been uncomfortable and would probably have been making contingency plans (such as what do I have that is stabby... ). Unfortunately chanting Allah Allah Allah is very negatively associated in the minds of your average American. They don't necessarily hate Muslims, but put them into certain situations and they'll freak out.
If I heard Christians praying audibly about how they were going to die for God I'd freak out. The problem is, I don't speak Arabic, so I don't know what the Muslim clerics are saying. I wouldn't freak out, but I wouldn't exactly be sleeping that flight either.
I personally feel our planes are safer now since no one is going to let a hijacker take control of a plane. We no longer assume that it's going to end well.
