UK: Muslim who dressed as suicide bomber at rally threatening jihad attacks has job on trains

Time to find alternative means of transportation. "Muslim fanatic works on trains," from The Sun, with thanks to all who sent this in:

A MUSLIM fanatic who dressed as a suicide bomber at a rally threatening terror attacks has got a job on TRAINS.

Sick Omar Khayam cleans carriages unsupervised for rail giant First Group.

And he has even got keys to onboard electrical cupboards.

Furious train drivers last night claimed the safety of staff and passengers is being put at risk.

One driver added: “It’s an astonishing security breach.

“We cannot believe this man is employed in a job giving him access to locked places on trains where bombs could be hidden and never be found.

“He has keys that could be passed on to others for the electrical cupboards in carriages. It is a risk too far.”

Convicted drugs dealer Khayam, 22, had been filmed dressed as a bomber at the controversial demonstration outside London’s Danish Embassy last year.

He wore a sinister camouflage outfit with a black vest.

Extremists around him — protesting at cartoons of the prophet Mohammed — waved placards supporting the 7/7 London bombings and calling for new UK terror attacks.

Khayam was sent back to prison after officials ruled he had broken the terms of his early release.

He was due to stay behind bars until August 2007 but was AGAIN released early.

He now works nights at First Group’s huge depot in Bedford. When challenged about his job, he said: “So what? I’ve not committed a crime. If there is a concern, that’s what the police are there for. That’s what security services are for.”

[...]

Last night First Group spokesman Robert Beahan said: “We are subject to UK employment law and carry out all necessary employment checks. The safety of customers and employees is our main priority.”

Right after placating the Muslim community, that is.

Give the guy a break he is just wearing his national dress. Afterall all a Scotsman can wear a kilt... this is just another example of western discrimination and racism against muslims.How do you expect the Ummah to take over peacefully if you keep carrying on like this?

He's not done anything wrong. We shouldn't criticise unless there is an incident in which hundreds are killed. Innocent until proven guilty etc.

Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth, I'm sure.

PS, couldn't they have found him a job cleaning toilets or something?

It's hard to imagine a situation more insane than this. Unbelievable!

...how about "Brakes Quality Assurance Tester" I.E. he stands on the tracks and the drivers see if they can stop the train in-time? I think in this way he would be providing a public service and get paid at the same time... at least as long as those pesky brakes worked... = )

I just copied this comment from The Sun Online:

http://www.thesun.co.uk/discussions/posts/list/70/6322.page

" I work for First Capital Connect as an Inspector very close to Bedford. We were told about this fanatic 3-4 weeks ago and told to keep it hush.
Many, if not all, were disgusted at the fact that he was still working for us considering the level of access he has to the huge depot, and the level of access he could give to other fanatics. Bombs or other devices could be planted on carriages and cupboards set to go off while the train is carrying peak travellers, it wouldn't even call for a suicide bomber. Lets not forget, the muslim fanatic was rallying wearing a suicide bombers jacket calling for more bombings like the 7/7 bombings in London, which do I need to remind you were all on Public Transport.
I was employed by First Group not Thameslink and during my induction to the company they couldn't stress enough how strict their Alcohol and Drugs policy was. Robert Beahan, our so called spokesman, informs you that we are subject to UK employment laws and we carry out all necessary employment checks, where it states in that law that First Group have to employ ex-con, drug dealing, pro terrorism fanatics is yet to be discovered!
Don't let Beahan speak for us all, everyone I and my collegues have spoken to is deeply concerned for our and passengers safety, we feel the fanatic needs to be dismissed from the company, and all keys be taken back, providing he hasn't had them cut and passed onto 3rd parties already. People should be made aware these keys he has in his possesion would be extremely useful to terrorists, especially the BR1 key which will open almost any door and DRIVERS CABIN, throughout almost every train service in the UK.
People need to realise how severe this situation can become, I also believe we as a company need to take immediate action and get this guy out before something terrible happens and we are blamed for turning a blind eye on customer and staff safety. "

This could be a plot for Die Hard 4 but people would think it was too far fetched.
People ask how did he get the job...they should be
asking why is he still in the country!
Time to increase the cheques i send to the BNP.

HIs neighbors will be the first to tell you, "He'a a good boy."

Posted by: exsgtbrown [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 17, 2007 1:44 PM

Anyway he was also arrested for cocaine charges so he is ok his neighbours will be forced to confess out of fear.

He comes from a part of town where once a 4,000 people gang of youths called in the 90's 'The power of the Asian nation' in a area of Bedford called Queenspark.

Prince Charles visited there and Luton and he said that this area Queenspark is doing so well with in its multi cultural society and it should be a symbol to other communities. Yet he does not know that every week for the last 10 years in the 90's Asian gangs would beat up some white guy. You Cannot say they were only Muslims as Indians also live there of Hindu minority but there was once a massive vendetta of Muslim vs Muslims or Muslims vs blacks, people needed protection by them and had cameras installed by their homes for safety.

Prince Charles like the rest pretend that it's so great like the politicians who try and hide the raw facts for the sake of their political guilt trips. They gain points by appearing as non-racist and tolerant as they can not separate the two without feeling accused like they would be by society so they avoid the matter of the situation.
Things maybe be better now but the violence has spread to London it's now a political agenda as the teen Muslims have grown up like this guy with hate they already had in them, this hate was before 9/11 even began it was always there with them.

Are these donations tax deductible? Just kidding.

kind of ironic how the center of the british empire, the seat of all democracy is now just a toilet, a miserable, cold, damp socialist island. run by ex communists their governance run by patsy islamists.

no wonder all the colonialists broke their chains and fled.

if only the true britons had as much balls as our invaders then we'd end this farce overnight. whats wrong with us? im starting to think that most brits would rather follow islam than fight, its called the stockholm syndrome.

Posted by: leonthepigfarmer [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 17, 2007 11:45 PM

didnt a member of the BNP get banned from working for the local council for driving a bus recently? yet you can be in an extremist isalmic org. yet work for immigration or other branches of her majestys government.


psst...hey guys, come here..............SLAP!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: leonthepigfarmer [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 18, 2007 12:03 AM

Okay, time for some realistic thought. The guy is a criminal and the policy of the government is to rehabilitate criminals back into mainstream society. The guy is employed, he is not on benefits, he is not a sponger; he is merely a passionate follower of the religion of peace who desires either a life under sharia law or martyrdom with his seventy-two virgins. Leave him alone, please, and he will do us no harm ...

Where is our trust in our fellow human beings? Forgive your enemies and heaven awaits you.

Now, nurse, may I have my medicines?
