German jihadist bomb suspect worked at airport

Feel safer? Ain't political correctness grand?

"Bomb suspect worked at airport," from News24.com (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist):

Berlin - One of three men arrested in Germany on suspicion of plotting major bomb attacks worked at Frankfurt airport, one of the alleged targets, according to the weekly Der Spiegel.

The report to be published on Monday said Adem Y, a Turk, had been employed from 1997 to 2002 by German railways, working in particular in the department handling freight at Frankfurt airport station.

The three arrested on September 5, who also included two Germans converted to Islam, were suspected of planning "massive" attacks on facilities used by Americans, among them Frankfurt airport and the US military airbase at Ramstein.

Federal prosecutor Monika Harms said they were members of the Islamic Jihad Union, a little-known group from Uzbekistan with links to al-Qaeda.

The Sunni Muslim group said the aim of the planned attacks had been to put pressure on Germany to withdraw its soldiers stationed at the Termez base in southern Uzbekistan, according to the German interior ministry.

More diplomacy by intimidation. In both its violent and its peaceful forms, it's all the rage these days.

Shouldn't it work the other way??! If they attack Germany like that then shouldn't Germany strike back? And since they want German soldiers out of Afghanistan then that's where Germany should strike.

And how about THIS to motivate moslems to rat out terrorists? For every wounded person we throw out 100 moslems FOREVER and for every person murdered we make it a 1000...

Maybe Nancy Pelosi will hire this guy next.

Wow, now I feel safe! I live in a city that has the third largest Pakistani population in the U.S. We now even have direct flights from Pakistan. Could it be conceivable that our large airport has any jihadi sympathizers working there?

Naaah! Move along... Nothing to see here... It's the religion of peace you know! WaPo says so. Bush says so. NDT says so. Our collegiate educators say so. They say so. Everybody says so.

It's like 1984. Some Orwellian world where if were told enough time that it's so, we'll finally start believing it's true. Frankly, I think a large portion of the U.S. population believes it.

Learn Arabic everyone. I'm three months in and it's really getting easy. I love it recognizing words on websites and know what they're saying! I refuse to succumb to Ingsoc's doublethink! Moral relativism be damned.

Islam prohibits ratting out against 'muslim brothers'. Thus, a 'muslim brother' enjoys full protection from the umma under Islam. Else, Usama would have been captured long back. Sorry, but Islam has this covered pretty well.

Correct response to 'Germans soldiers out of Afghanistan', is 'Muslims out of Germany'.o.... r is it too much for multi-culti Germans?

How many more jihadists are working at our airports, seaports, train/bus stations, hospitals,etc.?

Posted by: mrockroll1969 [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 15, 2007 3:46 PM

Most inexplicable for me are the two Germans who converted to Islam. No one in their right mind should convert to Islam. It's bad enough to be born Muslim, but to become one is evidence of off-the-chart foolhardiness.

Departing from Schiphol airport, my security check was performed by a muslim. The usual rigamarole: "did you pack the baggage yourself?", "are you bringing stuff for someone else?", "who's your daddy?" (ok, I'm making that last one up}.
Boarding my return flight from Bush Intercontinental no check was done at all, except for a quick x-ray of my belongings.

I'm not sure where I felt safer.

Old news...
...remember the mysterious "3rd suspect" in Jack Cashill's Oklahoma Bombing investigation?
(while even I was skeptical about his theory, he did show one VERY alarming fact that proved true-which in turn proves my claim that FBI "couldn't find genitalia in a whorehouse"...yet a reporter CAN)
He was tracked down to working at Boston Logan Int'l ...right up to, and just after, 9/11...
yep, same point of origin as American 11 & United 175 on 9/11.

gee...what a coinKAdINK.

...how about Germany arresting Muslims and holding them hostage, then demand payment for their release from Pakistan or Saudi Arabia?...

That's what I am talking about!!! Well, I'd been thinking along those lines anyway :-)

We want our money back which our Lefties have been wasting on the without asking the *majority* of the country.

Sadly, we have many dhimmis among us.. someone actually votes for these liberal asshats who do these things..

I wish I could run things over there for one year.

To the moon, moslems.. and beyond...

"Islam prohibits ratting out against 'muslim brothers'. Thus, a 'muslim brother' enjoys full protection from the umma under Islam."

This almost begs the question as to how the ummah should be handled, eh?

Posted by: Shakey_Premise [TypeKey Profile Page] at September 15, 2007 9:25 PM

Good point, shakey...
sounds eerily familiar with the policies of some domestic terrorists in our inner cities in the US...but that's another terrorism story forum...

In light of the above, collective punishment is definitely a way to solve the Muslim problem....

detocquevilledisciple:

The hardest part of learning Arabic is the alphabet—with 3 or more ways to write each character. I never got further than the beginning stages. Perhaps some of the former Muslims—now Christians—I know could help me. Their names are ... (ha ha (tone: derisive, mocking) they left your death cult.)

Know your enemy.

This is a good idea except for the fact that Pakis and Saudis like money more than their coreligionists.

detocquevilledisciple-

I've been trying to learn but it is a nonsensical language with a nonsensical alphabet. No wonder it can mean so many things depending on how you read it. It's easier to learn Chinese.

So do you have any suggestions for learning. What are you using?

Perhaps Robert could put a beginners course on this site?

What is the weird fetish these people have with airplanes?

================

It's sort of like an inverted cargo cult.

The cargo cultists see the planes go by overhead and pray to them.
-- Airplane as god or divine messenger.
-- (Carries gifts and blessings)

These dingbats see the planes go by overhead and dedicate their lives to wrecking them.
-- Airplane as devil or demonic messenger.
-- (Carries evil infidels and sinful indulgences)

It's truly and deeply weird.

================

If the mohammedan upper classes want us to take them seriously, they better get their savages under control, assuming that they are not themselves members of the cult, which is too often the case.
