4. Right. Because only muslims commit suicide.

Back when that Egypt Air was deliberately crashed by its pilot, the muslim community was totally shocked as suicide is forbidden by their religion. Well, it's forbidden by lots of religions, and adherents still commit suicide.

I have no opinion as to exactly what happened on the Germanwings flight, and I certainly have no idea why the co-pilot would have deliberately crashed it, if that's what he did, but the religion of the man is probably not at all relevant.

Similar kinds of things have happened. One that comes immediately to mind was the crash of PSA 1771, brought down by a recently fired employee. December 7, 1987.
