Think about that last odd super-religious pilot you last flew with. Substitute God with Allah, and give him a gun to carry around. No thanks.
I sometimes stop listening to 121.5 en route for this reason. It is hard for me to distinguish radio 1 from 2 from sound alone in my craft and the chatter drives me nuts. If center asks for ELT listen I always turn it back on.
