You’re on a plane. Right before take off, one last passenger is let on. He sits in the empty seat next to you. You glance over at him and notice that he’s young and Middle Eastern. He looks at you and smiles and then buckles his seatbelt. The plane takes off and about 20 minutes later you hear murmuring coming from the seat next to you. You look over and the young man sitting next to you is holding a small booklet in which all the writing is Arabic. His eyes are closed and he seems to be praying. He’s rocking back and forth slightly and sweating, although it’s freezing on the plane.
Would you be nervous?
