‘Hijacker who stabbed pilot’ called for women to be ‘stomped on’ as online rants revealed & Al Qaeda issues warning.

THE pilot accused of stabbing his captain in a suspected bid to hijack an Israel-bound plane called for violence against women while studying at a UK university.

Hamam al Hammami, 29, who was held after the alleged jihadist hijacking attempt on the FlyDubai pᴀssenger plane, said women should be “stomped on” in thousands of sick online rants.

All of the posts were published while he was studying aviation management at Buckinghamshire New University in Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.

The Omani national studied the course remotely from Muscat, Oman, according to The Telegraph.

An X account strongly linked to Al Hammami advocated for severe punishments against women justified by reference to Islamic law, homophobic abuse and Sєxual humiliation.

The posts were made under the name “Pilot Hamam al-Hammami” and handle @PilotHamam.

In one he replied to a woman: “I’d stomp on your head, wipe the floor with you, make you an example to others, and then divorce you :).”

In another post he called a man a “coward and a scoundrel” for failing to violently ᴀssault his wife after catching her speaking to another man.

He said: “Anyone else would have stomped on her head and made her an example to others.”

Al Hammami also detailed his mother’s struggle to find him a wife – a subject which appeared to infuriate him.

He wanted any future partner to wear a niqab, a face covering, and stop working after marriage.

“They all refused,” he complained on social media in a February 2022 post seen by CNN.

“Then my mother told them ‘My son is a pilot’ and they all suddenly agreed.”

The posts also railed against mixed-gender workplaces, saying they had a corrupting effect on women.

“How many respectable, religious girls have been ruined in mixed-gender work environments and manipulated?” a post from January 2022 said.

Al Hammami tweeted more than 2,000 vile messages between November 2021 and August 2022 – while at the UK university, The Telegraph reports.

A spokesperson for Buckinghamshire New University told The Sun: “Our thoughts are with the injured pilot, crew and pᴀssengers involved in this incident.

“Hamam al Hammami previously completed a distance-learning course in aviation management. He did not undertake any pilot training at the University.”

Al Hammami was arrested on Wednesday after allegedly attacking his captain with the cockpit’s crash axe and trying to take control of a plane with 182 people aboard.

Israeli officials claim the co-pilot was trying to cause a 9/11-style tragedy after steering the Flydubai jet into a terrifying 700mph nosedive.

A Gulf diplomat said investigations are working to establish whether he acted as a “lone wolf or has any connection with any extremist groups”.

On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the suspect was believed to have undergone “Islamist radical indoctrination.”

Al Qaeda has since called for copycat attacks on US and Israeli airliners.

Pro-Al Qaeda publication, al-Bayan, wrote on Friday: “The war isn’t over yet — planes carrying Zionists, Americans and all the other infidels fighting against Islam are still hovering in the skies and can be targeted, as happened on September 11th and 30th.”

The article included an image of a plane crashing into the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, alongside an image referencing Wednesday’s attack on the Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight.

Al Hammami had previously been banned from flying by Oman over fears he had adopted extremist views.

A LinkedIn profile bearing the name Hamam al-Hammami said he worked at Oman Air for seven years, leaving in February 2025, before joining Royal Air Maroc in June 2025 and departing in January 2026.

Two posts were made to the profile, both published in quick succession on Wednesday – nine hours after the incident.

It is unclear who published the posts or whether they were scheduled in advance.

One included a video featuring a pH๏τo of Ayman al-Zawahiri, who led al Qaeda after the death of Osama Bin Laden.

This was followed with an image of Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, who killed nine people, including seven American CIA officers, in a 2009 suicide bombing.
