These imams are demanding all sorts of concessions. It is interesting to note that the orthodox Jews who were removed from a plane in March are not crying victimhood, not claiming racial profiling, not trying to weaken airport security. The contrast is illuminating. An update on this story. “Captain Backs Pilot Who Kicked Muslims Off […]
Another imam claims airport profiling
And — purely coincidentally — he was, like the flying imams who made national news a few days ago, on this way to a conference on “Islamophobia.” Abdul-Latif’s victimhood complaint is so flimsy and obviously concocted that even a veteran whiner like Hamas-linked CAIR’s Ibrahim “Honest Ibe” Hooper “suggested it was possible technical problems, rather […]
Yemeni man rushes cockpit on American Airlines flight approaching San Francisco
Maybe he just wanted more pretzels. “Crew subdues man banging on cockpit during flight,” from The Associated Press, May 9 (thanks to Bill): SAN FRANCISCO””Crew members and passengers wrestled a 28-year-old man to the cabin floor after he began pounding on the cockpit as an American Airlines flight approached San Francisco, the third security incident […]
Imams en route to conference on “Islamophobia” pulled off plane, compare selves to Rosa Parks
We have yet to hear the pilot’s side of the story, but this situation smells bad for several reasons, not least of which is the curious coincidence of the imams’ travel plans to a conference on the concocted phenomenon of “Islamophobia.” We have seen provocative behavior by “flying imams” before, as well. And in any […]
“Man from Kazakhstan” overpowered trying to hijack Alitalia flight to Libya
Probably not him Was he trying to join the jihad in Libya? Or was he actually planning to fly the plane into some landmark? Or is he actually a Kazakh Methodist driven by Christian extremism, and this has nothing to do with jihad at all? Time will tell — or at least it will if […]
Chicago: Three “Middle Eastern men” cause flight to make emergency stop after “strange goings on in the back of the plane”
This may have been a dry run or some sort of test; in any case, whatever it was, Hamas-linked CAIR is likely to be on it soon, using it as a weapon to weaken airport security — which will have the effect (unintended, no doubt) of making jihadists’ work easier. “3 ‘Strange’ Men Cause Flight […]
Why did al-Qaeda target flight to Detroit with underwear bomber? It was cheaper.
Detroit can’t seem to catch a break: even jihadists are taking advantage of its depressed economy. Thankfully, the area was spared the economic damage that likely would have come with a successful jihadist attack. “For al-Qaida, Detroit was just the cheapest flight,” by Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo for the Associated Press, March 24 (thanks […]
San Diego: Muslim removed from flight blames King hearings, demands apology
Abbasi hard at work claiming victim status Irum Abbasi may have been wrongly singled out. Nonetheless, the involvement of Hamas-linked CAIR in her case is just one of many red flags. In reality, no one should be shedding any real tears for Irum Abbasi, especially Irum Abbasi. She says, “I have lived in the United […]
Ringleader of jihad plot against JFK airport gets life in prison
An update on this story. Despite the fact that recordings showed Defreitas, a former air cargo handler at JFK, “speaking with evident relish about his desire to cause death and destruction,” the defense attorney still claimed “entrapment.” That claim is absurd, as usual. Evidence showed the fact that this group of jihadists became “operational” rather […]
British Airways worker who advised jihadists of air security weaknesses and offered self as suicide bomber was working with al-Awlaki
War is deceit: “Karim established a deep cover, joining a gym, playing football and never airing extreme views.” An update on this story. “BA worker ‘plotted with terror preacher Anwar al-Awlaki’,” from the Telegraph, February 1: In secret email exchanges with radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, Bangladeshi Rajib Karim, 31, shared details of his BA contacts […]
