Clearly firing someone who corresponded frequently with, gave money to, a socialized with a jihad terrorist, and who was listening to speeches by Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki, could clearly only have been motivated by "Islamophobia."
Jaw-Dropping Chutzpah Alert: "BA baggage handler 'who was groomed to be a terrorist' claims he was sacked for being a Muslim," by Eddie Wrenn in the Daily Mail, February 23 (thanks to David):
A 'terrorist sympathiser' linked to a notorious airline bomb plot is claiming he was unfairly sacked as a British Airways baggage handler because of his religion.Counter terrorist police found an apparent plan to groom Shahzada Khan to place a package on a plane bound for America.
During an investigation into Rajib Karim, who was jailed for 30 years last March for plotting to place a bomb on an airplane heading to America, police discovered emails between Karim and Khan, as well as emails between Karim and hate-preacher Anwar al-Awlaki.
Cracking the heavily-encrypted emails, police suspected Karim and al-Awlaki were grooming Khan to help them smuggle a bomb onto an American-bound plane.
When police checked Khan's computer, they discovered speeches by Osama Bin Laden and al-Awlaki, the tribunal heard.
There were also clips of 'martyrdom' and explosions interspersed with an image of a BA executive clubcard.
A PDF file was being downloaded when officers arrived at Khan's home in Slough, which described America as: 'The land of shame, crime, vile, filth and evil.
'Furthermore it is the most populous in whore house, homosexuality and lesbianism.'
The tribunal heard that police then had to decrypt Khan's emails, which were so heavily protected it took police months to break through layer after layer of encryption.
The emails contained coded references to a man called 'shzd' being groomed to place a bomb on a plane, and Khan's phone number was saved on Karim's phone under the same four-letter code.
Police also discovered Khan had given money to Karim, which they suspected was to help fund terrorist activities.
A knife was also discovered in Khan's work locker, which he denied knowledge of, and photographs of planes were found on his mobile phone, although he said these were taken in his role as a health and safety representative.
Khan was arrested during the counter terror investigation but ultimately released without charge due to a lack of direct evidence, the tribunal was told.
Khan admitted meeting Karim up to 10 times for dinner, as well as playing football and cricket with the terrorist. he also invited him into his own home.
Following the allegations, British Airways sacked Khan last December,.
But Khan has now launched legal action, saying he was unfairly dismissed for religious reasons....
Another reek from the rotten omelet of multiculturalism. Prophetic Skaespeare, from Hamlet (contraction of ham omelet)
Something is rotten in the state of... the UK.
Ooops. Shakespeare
Time to get rid of the chefs and dispense with omelets altogether.
Why are Muslims working at any airport in the civilized world?
"Why are Muslims working at any airport in the civilized world?"
Why are Muslims in the civilized world?
Because we like invasive species of the humanoid kind?
BA should sue him and turn the tables.
BA should accuse him of indulging in anti-national activity without informing his superiors and would have dragged his employer's name in mud by doing so.
But would multiculturalist UK tolerate that?
Hmmm, I doubt it.
Why are Muslims working at any airport in the civilized world?
Why are muslims allowed anywhere near any plane anywhere in the civilised world?
Jihad/islam causes poverty/unemployment
Why are Muslims in the civilized world?
Liked your comment :)
Why are Muslims in the civilized world at all?
He wasn't fired for his "religion" he was fired for his "politics". Why is this distinction so difficult for our authorities to enunciate.
why do a tiny minority of people want to blame or punish an entire community for the wrongs done by a tiny minority within that community ?
The battlefield has three functional groupings: combat forces, combat support forces, and combat service support forces. That covers everyone who calls himself/herself a muslim.
Because, Peter, it is not a tiny minority at all.
If it were just a tiny minority committing illegal and criminal acts, it wouldn't even show as a blip on the world's radar.
Some muslims support terrorism by actively engaging in terror, some by funding terror activities, some by inciting muslim youths to vanquish the enemies of islam, some others by writing/disseminating information to help terrorists, this list goes on and on AND almost all muslims have supremacist tendencies.
It is not a tiny minority at all.
Quick,quick: a gigantonormous settlement and abject apologies should do the trick and make him forget and forgive that his private correspondence was looked into.
They are all terrorists, liars and cheats and should not be employed or trusted by non-Muslims!
Women help by hiding their husband's activities from, and by lying to, law enforcement.
Children help by becoming the 'face' in any video whenever their father wants them to (refer to the latest video where the child says he doesn't want salman rushdie to enter India).
Women and children both help by joining muslim activists in protests and by holding up placards and increasing numbers.
It is not a tiny minority of extremists at all.
Every Muslim has ties to the jihad!
Because that tiny minority has shown historically to outgrow, infiltrate, and destroy it's native population. It's been that way since Muhammad's time. Muslims in the minority are generally passive and benign. Many don't even know of their violent teachings. Once Muslims become a larger slice of the population, however, violence often ensues. Look at what is happening in Nigeria right now, and it's hardly the only example.

Violent jihad is part of the theology of Islam, and with out it, Islam would cease to expand it's territories. Islam appeals to the sinful desires of mankind, with it sanctificattion of rape murder lying pedophilia stealing. All the traits of Mohammed!
Actually, his logic is correct - he was just following the demands of Islam. So, technically, being fired for following his religion is against the law.
It is not his views that are crazy - it is the law's, which fail to recognize that following the Koran would require someone to, logically, behave in a way that is considered to be "terrorism".
Crazy-town.
And I should add Mohammed is considered the "perfect" man in Islam even higher than Jesus in importance, though Jesus condemns such behavior as his as incompatible with the kingdom of heaven!
Tiny brained people are recruited by their cults literature to go on blogs to try to shift blame from the obvious nature of their cults demonic agendas that almost ALL 0f their adherents are indoctrinated with.
I would think its a tiny minority in every community
because Truman
( just one man )
burned alive hundreds of thousands of japanese children and babies in the atomic and fire bombing of Japanese cities
for the wrongs done by a tiny minority of Japanese in government
peter: what are you trying to say here? what point are you making? while I have said it many times that muslims are not the problem, but Islam is the probelm how can discern who is a terrorist and who is not. terrorists do not walk around with a label on their forehead!! there was a post here yesterday regarding the NYPD watching muslim student orgs and there is now an up roar. as former muslim my self I for one 100% agree with muslims should be watched, while this process may do unjustice to muslims who do not participate in Jihad which mostly don't, but there is no choice here, is there?
M
isnt that always the case,
the majority in any country discriminates and even commits violence against the minority
For example: FBI hate crime statistics
6,628 criminal incidents involving 7,699 offenses were reported in 2010
as a result of bias toward a particular race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity/national origin, or physical or mental disability.
http://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-releases-2010-hate-crime-statistics
there is a choice,
there was a time before the US government got involved in muslim countries
when there was no terrorism from muslims in the US
Peter--Turn on your TV (if you have one) and you will see the obvious, glaring difference between a civilized society and Islamic nations such as Afghanistan.
If a few Muslims burn some bibles in Dearbornistan the whole nation doesn't riot and burn and kill as we are now seeing.
so why are muslims not burning bibles in retaliation ?
because muslims do not understand democracy. burnning a koran is not against the law.
M
Because the "majority" of the community make excuses for, and run smokescreens for the "tiny minority." The "majority" also attacks the messengers who bring to light the racist and murderous agendas of the "tiny minority."
Until the "majority" stops aiding and abetting the dangerous "tiny minority" you are rightfully considered as guilty as the "tiny minority."
I am now conviced that you are a muslim your self. that is the muslim way of thinking. blame the west for their own misery. not their own failure.
M
Are you kidding?
They burn PEOPLE in retaliation.
You are a despicable creature.
You deserve nothing less than to live as a non-musloid in any of the sharia practicing musloid cesspools of the world.
And the Japanese massacred and raped tens of thousands for in retaliation for the "tiny minority" of their respective governments.
You really are the epitome of leftist lunacy.
What time was that?
During the 1800's when the musloids simply attacked outside of the U.S. because the American's hadn't started letting them in?
Why don't you expand on your theory and explain to us why non-musloid Middle Easterners living in America are not engaged in terrorist activities?
You're claiming musloids in America are attacking in America because America is attacking their countries. If they are in America isn't AMERICA their country? Also, not all Middle Easterners are musloids yet it's only the musloids who are committing these "retaliatory" attacks on America.
Why aren't the Copts, Assyrians and Orthodox "rightfully" outraged like your musloid pals?
there was a time before the US government got involved in muslim countries when there was no terrorism from muslims in the US
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Again, not true, peter. Read history of muslims from the time islam was born. It is killing, aggression, looting, rapes etc from the beginning. This behaviour did not magically start after US went into muslim countries. The mainstream media spreads these stories. Don't believe them. Do your own research.
@Peter: "there was a time before the US government got involved in muslim countries
when there was no terrorism from muslims in the US"
Sorry, Peter, per your obfuscating-blame-shifting you're wrong on this one too. American interests had been attacked by Muslim 'radicals' long before the USA retaliated against the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the WTC and Pentagon, why had gone to war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Islam had been at war with the United States of America going back to President Jefferson's time, unprovoked by our great young nation, but forced to retaliate against barbaric Muslim slavism. The war started then is still ongoing today, thanks to Islam's imputed war doctrine in its Koran. Going back to the days of the Arab oil embargo, the fall of Shah of Iran, Beirut barracks bombing, WTC parking garage bombing, USS Cole bombing, US embassy bombings in Africa, etc. Islam had been at war with us non-stop.
Sorry, bud, but we are at war with you because YOU called it. We finish it.
Muslim fired from British Airways after his close ties with jihad terror plotter were discovered now claiming he was fired for being a Muslim
.....................
Well, I suppose that is true—since Islam enjoins its followers to wage violent Jihad against peaceful Infidels. Engaging in Jihad terror was just a part of his religion!

Really—how could *that* be grounds for dismissal? What terrible "Islamophobia"! sarc/off
How could anyone believe this fine fellow should be sacked, just because he wanted to bow up his own employer's planes and kill Americans? The injustice! sarc/off

Let's look at that "tiny minority", shall we?
"Survey: 61 percent of British Muslims want Sharia courts"
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2005/01/survey-61-percent-of-british-muslims-want-sharia-courts.html
That's almost two-thirds of British Muslims who want the horror of Shari'ah law in that civilized nation. Not exactly a "tiny minority", no?
58% also want to see Britons prosecuted for having the temerity to criticize Islam, thereby destroying Britain's famous freedom of speech and freedom of conscience.
Again, not exactly a "tiny minority"...
He wasn't fired for being a Muslim. He was fired for being a 'good' Muslim.
Just don't respond to this assh*le "Peckerhead".
He's wasting our time.
@ Miriam Rove
You said:"while I have said it many times that muslims are not the problem, but Islam is the probelm how can discern who is a terrorist and who is not."
You are wrong. Islam is the problem and therefore muslims are the problem as well. Every muslim should be considered a ticking time bomb. No one knows when they'll go off but we do know they will eventually go off.
All muslims are mandated by the koran to commit some form of jihad. It may be actual terror jihad, civilization jihad pen or sword jihad, immigration jihad but some sort of jihad in order to get into paradise.
Until a muslim becomes an apostate he/she is a definite problem for me and may others.
I suppose you could make a case that he was not fired for terrorist associations, but for incompetence.
You could possibly believe that he was incredibly ignorant and naive and did not know that his friends were terrorists. You could argue that he believed his terrorist friends were simply people with whom he played sport and told jokes over dinner. You could argue that he was only reading the terrorist literature to educate himself for counter-terrorism purposes. You could argue that he was never the least bit suspicious and that it was a terrible shock to him when his friends were found guilty.
The problem is that that level of naivety is culpable in an aiport job. It definitely qualifies as being too incompetent to do the job.
If Karim was living in Slough then he was probably working at Heathrow Airport. There could also be a similar or even greater threat at Gatwick where Asians are everywhere. If you've ever been to Crawley, which is a town near the airport, you will know what I mean.
So, back for another pie in the face, you clown!
In your desperate attempt to lure us away from the inherent defects in the ideology of Islam, you wrote: why do a tiny minority of people want to blame or punish an entire community for the wrongs done by a tiny minority within that community?
It's not about tiny minorities and entire communities; it's about *the fact* that the ideology of Islam as detailed in your self-appointed prophet's book, Al Qur'an, says that violent jihad is mandatory for all Muslims. That means that a Muslim baggage handler with access to dar al-harbian aircraft carrying dar al-harbian passengers is a severe risk to their life and limb because he is required to kill them, if possible. It's mandated by his plagiarized 'holy book'.
So, cut out the smokescreen about minorities and victims and face up to the fact that your belief system is a danger to all free, secular societies, like ours!
Clown!
The problem is two fold:
One it is the very tiny minority that speaks out both because of their indoctination and their fear of reprisal. The reprisal will range from a condemnation from the Muslim community to violence against their persons and their families.
The other is the fear and cowardice in many quarters of the non Muslim community. People are taught and trained to be tolerant in the West and can't conceive of any religion or cult being dangerous so they put up a mental barrier and ignore the facts around them. You also have the totalitarian left wing mindset who sides with the radical idealogy for their own purposes. Radicalism, Socialism, Fascism, Naziism and the radical Islamic philosophy are amzingly similar in many ways.
Many in the West are Zombies and if they don't wake up out of their sleep they will be defeated.
i was talking about muslims in the US.
Before America got involved in muslim countries, muslims in the US were at peace with fellow Americans.
Since the US got involved in muslim countries starting with the arming of Israel in the 60s,
muslims in the US have started to react in adverse ways,
especially in the last 10 years
"so why are muslims not burning bibles in retaliation ?"
For quite a few reasons steeped in reality (a thing I'm not sure you're acquainted with):
1. The Bible has no meaning or sacredness to them, it would be pointless.
2. Um. This one is OBVIOUS: There is a paucity of Bibles to be found on hand in Afghanistan. It is an ISLAMIC state.
3. You are trying to rationalize an irrational people. The muslims. There is NO WAY they would go for quid-pro-quo and simply burn Bibles in retaliation. Their preference is to riot and scream and murder because their quran practically demands blood for any suspected "insult." Even the so-called "moderate" muslims in Afghanistan are "tsk-tsking" away and saying that we infidels deserve what's coming in the days ahead.
4. Burning people with acid, especially uppity women who want to go to school, is the preferred method of rationalism within their "culture" so why would they settle for just burning a book? Even a Bible?
5. All this is a shield for more mayhem and wanton destruction, activities much loved by followers of moefoe.
islam: to know it is to leave it.

Let's see—what happened 10 years ago? Oh, yes—that terrible act of American violence against Muslims, 9/11...oh, wait...wasn't that rather the other way 'round?
No matter, of course—it is all grist for more and more Muslim violence...
