Unreal. A Qatari diplomat went to the bathroom on a flight and smoke was seen coming out. The Air Marshals went and confronted the man. He then said he was lighting his shoes on fire. He was arrested and they are now claiming he was joking.
FBI agents say no explosives were found in the shoes of a Qatar diplomat who was subdued by federal air marshals on a United flight to Denver Wednesday night after allegedly telling the marshals, “I’m lighting my shoes on fire.”
Authorities say the diplomat was wrestled to the ground and two F-16 fighter jets were dispatched to accompany the 757 on the final 40 minutes of its flight to Denver. Flight 663 originated from Washington Reagan airport.

If this is Islamic humor, then I don’t find it funny. My gut tells me there’s more to this.
