Make New York Post a Preferred Source The accused flydubai hijacker touted violence against women and expressed hate for Jews and gay people in sickening newly revealed social media posts he made while studying to be a pilot – before he went on to allegedly attack his captain with a crash axe and attempt to down a plane.
Hamam al-Hammami, 29, allegedly made the series of extreme posts while he was studying aviation management remotely at Buckinghamshire New University in the UK, the Telegraph reported.
In one exchange with a woman, he allegedly said, “I’d stomp on your head, wipe the floor with you, make you an example to others, and then divorce you,” the outlet reported, following an analysis of more than 2,000 posts published between November 2021 and August 2022 by an X account believed to be al-Hammami’s.
In another reply to a discussion about men attacking women, al-Hammami reportedly said, “He gave her a preemptive slap so she would redefine her boundaries, just as Russia slapped Ukraine to adjust its borders.”
During the same exchange, al-Hammami reportedly posted that if a woman “so much as breathed” around a man, he should “stomp on her head,” according to reports.
Other posts called for severe Islamic punishments against Jews and homosexuals, according to the report.
“His social media accounts [say] clearly that he has been radicalised into jihadist ideology. He talks about killing Jews,” an Israeli official told the Times of Israel on Thursday.
Al-Hammami, an Omani national, allegedly stabbed the flight’s captain, Smit Machchhar, in the cockpit with crash ax and tried to take control of the plane in a “terrorist attack” Wednesday.
His actions nearly crashed the flight with 182 people on board before passengers rushed in and subdued him.
