#WATCH | Mumbai | Former neighbor of Flydubai Captain Smit Machchhar, Dr Janit Shah says, "Smit Machchhar is a talented, soft-spoken, and good man. He was my neighbor for the last 10-15 years before he shifted to Dubai 2-3 years ago. Now, the story has emerged that he was able to save 174 lives even after being stabbed. He is an incredible person, and I hope for his fast recovery. I hope his family is able to recover from this shock."
Christians don't hijack planes in the name of Jesus.
Jews don't blow themselves up in the name of Moses.
Hindus don't behead people in the name of their gods.
But there is one religion whose extremists repeatedly justify terr0rism, hijacking, suicide attacks and violence in its name.
Can you guess which one?
#FlyDubai
This Indian Hindu pilot saved lives and averted the terrorist attack.
He was severely attacked by his Omani Muslim Co-pilot.
Respect to this Indian Hindu man 🫡
Appreciation tweet for Smit Machchar - An Indian who saved the lives of 180 Israelis in spite of being stabbed repeatedly. He was the pilot who averted the hijack and crash.
Ecosystem is in shocked silence - no appreciation coming from them, because -
1. He saved Israelis
2. He is also a Gujarati
3. He is a Brahmin.
That's the level of hate, bigotry and filth the ecosystem wallows in. Visceral hatred.
Thanks for pointing out that a Hindu pilot is the hero. Media hiding that fact because they want to downplay anything positive associated with Hinduism. Exact opposite of the way Muslim identity is always supported with sympathy. Unfair double standard

Captain Smit Machchhar is a hero.
Machchhar is a Hindu from India, so the media won’t mention him because it doesn’t fit the narrative.
Wounded and covered in blood, he fought back and held the attacker long enough for passengers and off-duty crew to pin the jihadist down.
Say his name. Don’t let them hide this.
After weeks of people degrading Indians, God selects a Hindu Indian to be His hero, saving hundreds from Islamic terrorism.
God has a way of choosing the very people others despise to show us how little we understand Him.
This is an Indian Hero Pilot Captain Smit Mac. The follow pilot tried to kill him, but he showing alertness called out to the crew and passengers. The open door of the cockpit helped. Salute Captain Sumit Machchhar.
