An IT developer -- another case of someone being educated and gainfully employed, but who still managed to "misunderstand" Islam. An update on this story. "British Airways employee faces terrorism charges," from CNN, March 11:
London, England (CNN) -- A British Airways employee appeared in court Thursday on charges related to terrorism.
The Metropolitan Police Service said Wednesday Rajib Karim, 30, is charged with two counts of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts and fundraising for the purpose of terrorism.
He appeared in the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
Karim, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, is an information technology developer for British Airways, authorities have said.
Shades of Maher Hawash.
The alleged offenses took place between April 13, 2006, and February 25, 2010, "with the intention of committing acts of terrorism outside the U.K. or assisting another to commit such acts," police said.
But but but....
Nothing to do with Islam! Can't blame the religion of a billion peaceful, law abiding muslims for the actions of a few....
Sure you got it all wrong, you Islamophobes, you!
Here's the latest from Nigeria:
Expressing horror at the massacre, the UN’s human rights chief Navi Pillay said, “what is most needed is a concerted effort to tackle the underlying causes of the repeated outbreaks of ethnic and religious violence … namely discrimination, poverty and disputes over land”.
See. "Ethnic & religious violence"- discrimination and poverty and disputes.......
With "underlying causes" I suppose she means da Joooozzz...?

An IT developer for British Airways!
So great then, Jihadists on the inside who can eventually put Trojan horse code in the computer programming and bring about terrorist acts in the planes that way. Multicultural diversity bringing change to Europe!
It makes me wonder how many other airline and airport employees harbor Jihad sentiments.
I know it was strongly suspected that the boxcutters used by the 9/11 terrorists were placed on the planes prior to the hijackers' boarding—which would imply complicity with either the plane crews or some else with access to the planes.
As much as I have read about 9/11 since, I never heard any follow-up to this point.
I'm also concerned about airport security-a troubling number of which seem to be members of "the Religion of Peace" these days, especially in Europe.
Wednesday Rajib Karim! What a weird name for a Muslim terrorist. Perhaps his parents were Addams Family fans. Wednesday Addams did help her brother blow up toy trains, I remember - but I don't recall any planes being involved. Cousin It definitely did wear some sort of hairy burkha, though.
gravenimage,
you have no idea how right you are!
Mohammedans are all over the airports in EUrabia, from the taxi-drivers to the baggage handlers, from the cleaners to the waiters in and out of the departure lounges, even the security people (in the states and in Australia too) are Mohammedans.
This is infiltration on a grand scale. It defeats reason, common sense and a minimum sense of self preservation. I despair.
In the UK and in France, even the customs and immigration people are mohammedans. It is a freak show.
Checking out the link to Maher Hawash (a Palestinan Arab immigrant who pled guilty to aiding terrorists), I note that he was sentenced in February 2004 to seven years. That means he'll be out next year (if he isn't already). And what do you suppose he's been up to with his co-religionists in the can?
The Adams Family - a positively normal well-adjusted infidel family compared to the alien Islamic culture being allowed to spread in the West now. I'll take the Adams Family as neighbors and friends over Muslims any time. Islam and all things Islamic are weirder than The Adams Family.
Muslim process control operatives, coming soon to a nuclear power station near you. They'll make Homer Simpson seem positively benign.
I saw a dramitization of the hi jacking. Box cutters were brought in by the hijackers. They went through security with out problem. Some also brought knives under 4 inches which were legal at the time. In flight 93 they brough in items that could be put together to look like a bomb. this was to scare the passangers.
Incedently an agent that had talked to the hijacker
Mohammed Atta got bad vibes from him. His eyes full full of hate. ..but since Atta was dressed as a business man he let him get on board.
An excerpt from the AP account of this is below:
BA employee in court on suicide bombing charge
(AP) – 2 hours ago
LONDON — A British Airways computer expert is in court charged with plotting suicide bombings — including one he allegedly planned to carry out himself.
Prosecutor Colin Gibbs says Bangladesh-born Rajib Karim deliberately sought a job with the airline in order to further an unspecified terrorist conspiracy.
He says the 30-year-old plotted with unidentified contacts in his home country, Pakistan, and Yemen over the past four years. He says Karim shared information about his work, including British Airways' security measures.
Karim is also charged with collecting money and sending it to terrorist associates overseas.
__________________
Note that he was not already working for BA and then somehow "radicalized." No, he "deliberately sought a job with the airline in order to further an unspecified terrorist conspiracy" and, what's more, "shared information about his work, including British Airways' security measures."
Yet, as posters above have noted, since 9/11/2001 there has been a great, almost ostentatous Muslim presence at airports -- and in an airport I know, suddenly there appeared a hijabbed lady to check the passports of those going on international flights. What led to this? Are the airplines, are those running the airports, determined to show that they trust Muslim employees? Is this considered a Good Thing, this ostentatious trust? Eventually this naivete, and this desire to curry favor with those who, such as CAIR, scream about "discrimination," will cost lives.
I hope the lawyers are ready, ready to sue the airlines, those who run the airports, everybody, for hundreds of millions of dollars, or more, for this needless endangerment, by refusing to halt the employment of Muslims for work having anything to do with air transport. The airlines, the airports, have been warned. They know, or should have known, what Islam inculcates. They know, or should have known, how unreliable is that construct "the Muslim moderate." They know, or should have known, that intelligence of both kinds suggest strongly that they cannot possibly be sure of Muslim employees and they should not endanger the flying public, and crews, as they now do, all over the Western world, by pretending that there is no special security problem arising from those who call themselves adherents of Islam. This game of Let's Pretend may make some feel better, and no doubt they hope they won't be the ones who will, sooner or later, suffer -- but the airlines or the airport authorities will suffer, in the only way they can be made to suffer, by lawsuits claiming they were guilty of criminally negligent behavior, in ignoring the texts and tenets of Islam when choosing whom to hire for certain jobs, especialy those where one would be privy to an airline's security measures, as in this case.
Even lunacy must have its limits, and the Western world needs to work on lengthening the duration of its all-too-short lucid intervals.
"... the underlying causes ...namely discrimination, poverty and disputes over land”.
Of course! Disputes over land, that explains it all!
In Islamic countries (e.g. Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh) it's at the individual or family level -- some nasty Christian or Hindu or other infidel is occupying a lot or field that rightfully belongs to Moslems. Elsewhere it can be whole countries -- Spain, Portugal, Romania, Greece, India -- that the kuffars have stolen from the faithful.
Still, what about places that never were Islamic? Like Canada, Sweden, Australia? Why are there Islamic attacks on them? Could it be that there's more to it than disputes over land?
Once again the British have managed to hatch a conspiracy against "a well-built man with a thin beard and close-cropped hair" who was born in none other than "America's front-line ally in the fight against terrorism", East Pakistan, a man of the book, of the very same "monotheistic, Abrahamic brotherly, common faith", as his religion's followers proudly proclaim, unlike the vile, unclean, polytheistic, kafir infidels, they are against and hate so much. Lo Allah! When will this usual and cruel, xenophobic, Islamophobic "profiling" of Muslims come to an end!
Umm....both hold your breath!

graven image, I believe those box cutters were purchased at Walmart the evening prior to the hijackings and carried on the planes by the hijackers themselves. I remember seeing a copy of the Walmart receipt.
They didn't need any help from insiders, our transportation rules at that time allowed them to be carried onto the plane.
Is THIS not justification enough to investigate/suspend ALL muslim airline workers until further notice? How many are there? We have THE RIGHT to know!
They want a global Islamic Caliphate. In the mind of the Mohammedans everything belongs to allah, and it is their duty to make all of dar al harb to be dar al islam. In the past they did this by offering booty and women, when conquering lands by the sword, as the Koran commanded. Now they use population and stealth jihad.
From BA website concerning the strike..How encouraging.
"A strike will not ground British Airways, we have had nearly 6,000 volunteers to support our flying programme, including nearly 1,000 who have trained as cabin crew and the number is growing."

Yes—and even here in the US, the majority of cleaning staff at the airport in Minneapolis are Somali—I'm sure there are many other examples.
The foxes guarding the henhouse—hardly an original observation, I realize, but depressingly apt.
Desidude and Gymgal, thanks for the information about the boxcutters.
A couple of years before 9/11, I took a trip to New York City to visit publishers there. I had elaborate packets to hand out, which I realized would be less likely to get damaged if I made them up fresh. And so, I took *an entire set of x-acto knives* on the flight with me. This was unchecked luggage—I just carried them in my portfolio.
I'm amazed by this now, but I thought nothing of it at the time—nor, obviously, did airport security.
It makes me wonder how many other airline and airport employees harbor Jihad sentiments.
Every Moslem airline employee harbors such sentiments... cuz they're Moslems.
*** 8:39 ***
For example, Delta Airlines has made a strong move over the last 5 yrs to replace American workers on plane cleanup crews to those that are almost all Moslem. And now the word is that the Delta HR department is on a campaign to beef up on Moslima flight attendants.
Make sense?
*** 92:8 ***
They should just cut out the middlemen and convert over to all Moslem Male pilots. That'd be the direct path. Let's get his over with.
Even lunacy must have its limits...
Yeah, death.
*** 8:39 ***
Or full & complete dhimmitude, once the Moslems have taken over the gubmint.
But as it states on the BA website.

@ St. Patrick
from the article:
"It's about the fact that we are Muslims and we are an ethnic minority and they don't want to see a mosque here."
-----
The usual hogwash about islam being an ethnicity.
Not to mention, that a mosque is functioning inside the school.
What the good folks of Surrey don't want is a ersatz saudi-style domed and minareted schlock-haus.
Karim is "an information technology developer for British Airways..." (from CNN)

"However, unbeknown to Captain Collins, at the time of the briefing, the flight plan coordinates transcribed into Air New Zealand's ground computer differed from the route flight plan approved in 1977 by the New Zealand Department of Transport Civil Aviation Division." ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_New_Zealand_Flight_901 )
This last link describes the 1979 Mt Erebus Antarctic crash that killed 237 people including 24 North Americans.
If that sort of disaster can happen by accident, what potential is there for malevolent Mohammedan mischief?
..schlock-haus..lol We don't need no stinkin' schlock-hauses!. Sickening..ttyl
@Yankel
Especially one with a minaret overlooking Sandhurst Military College.
From The Times:
"A British Airways computer expert charged with terror offences planned to take advantage of a strike by BA staff to become a temporary member of the cabin crew, a court heard today."
Not just a potential suicide-bomber, but a scab too.
Union leaders, inform the membership!
"Yet, as posters above have noted, since 9/11/2001 there has been a great, almost ostentatous Muslim presence at airports..."
--Hugh
There's a DVD just out by Brigette Gabriel. In her presentation to the Thomas More Law Center, she mentions that never, never, never, in all her years in the ME, had she seen a footbath in an airport.
And never, never, never, did she see footbaths in Universities or Colleges in the Middle East. In fact, in the ME today, one would not see a footbath in an airport or university -- yet, yet....here in the USA, in Europe...
ah hell, you know the rest.
Following on from references to 9/11 there was a story that all the muslim students at a High School in sight of the Twin Towers brought their cameras in that day. A reporter was said to have checked it out and confirmed it was true but got fired for doing so.
Anyone else heard this?
Minaret = sniper-tower.
I have as much confidence in British Airways being competent as I can splell.
