Malaysian/Chinese hate the Malay/Muslims. You got a plane full of the former and a pilot of the latter. Makes sense.
That sounds more ethnic, similar to the Basques in Spean or the Kurds in Iraq, rather than religious.

First it's newsmax. Second it doesn't fit alquaeda or a terrorist plot as ithe plane has disappeared and no one has claimed responsibility. This is not terrifying. You'd think if the pilot was alquaeda he would have declared himself and just nose dived. Right now this is just a mystery.

Have they issued a fatwa against Chinese food yet?

Interesting, highly doubt this is a serious threat.
According to the Times of Israel, Israel's Channel 2 has revealed that Israeli air defenses have been boosted, and approaching civilian aircraft will be asked to identify themselves far earlier.
Though the flight was presumed at first to have crashed, whole or in pieces, into the ocean, passive satellite transmissions from the aircraft suggest that it made a deliberate course change and may have headed north into central Asia.
Pakistan has already said that the flight never registered on its radar, but at least one expert has suggested the flight could have landed in Bangladesh, whose air defenses presumably would be weaker.
Though the possibility that the Boeing 777 could be used in a terror attack is mere speculation, it is evidently being taken seriously by Israel. A plane filled with nuclear material would not need to be in Israeli airspace long to do catastrophic damage, even if shot down.

The only problem with this line of thinking is that Al Qaeda is a sworn enemy of the U.S., not China or Malaysia.
AQ is a sworn enemy of the non-fundamentalist Muslim way of life. That could easily include China and Malaysia (which has decent religious diversity even with a state religion of Islam).

Al Qaeda is only fighting for the Muslim way of life in the Muslim world, but they're apathetic about what Infidels do in their own lands. W lied when he said "they hate us for our freedoms". Here are bin Laden's own words:
Free men do not forfeit their security, contrary to Bush's claim that we hate freedom. If so, then let him explain to us why we don't strike Sweden, for example.
