It seems to me entirely reasonable to observe the actions of a group of people traveling together and repeating islamic prayers on an airplane and conclude that their behavior was questionable after having experienced the attacks of 9-11-2001.

BINGO!
If you read the eyewitness reports of the actions of the 6 imams, there was a lot more involved than just chanting "Allah." They also changed seats after boarding taking "strategic" positions ala 9/11, asked for seat belt extensions when not needed, signaled to each other in code while on the plane, made loud anti-American comments and took repeated trips to the bathroom.
By the way, it turns out they were on the way home from a Muslim convention in Minneapolis, where political activism for combating anti-Muslim attitudes in America was extensively discussed.
There is no moral equivalence between the deliberately provocative acts of Muslim political leaders and a student authoring an essay advocating legal carry on-campus by licensed individuals. None.
