Jihadis call for attacks on UK airlines to “crush the enemy’s economy”

Dec 28, 2014 2:39 pm By Robert Spencer

British_AirwaysTime for British authorities to practice more appeasement and capitulation.

“Terrorist chiefs issue ‘lone wolf’ threat to British Airways and easyJet,” by Russell Myers, Mirror, December 28, 2014:

Terrorist overlords have ordered aspiring jihadists to bomb easyJet and British Airways flights.

Al-Qaeda chiefs want “lone wolf” bombers to hit the UK airlines to get widespread publicity and “crush the enemy’s economy”.

The chilling threat emerged in the terror group’s online publication, Inspire.

The gang says such attacks on the global brands would be useful as a means of securing widespread media headlines and “crushing the enemy’s economy”.

The magazine, released on Christmas Eve, names British Airways because it is the ‘flag carrier airline of the United Kingdom’ and the largest airline by number of planes.

Budget carrier easyJet is equally targeted because it “is a low cost carrier, hence has a large number of passengers.”

Jihadists are instructed to identify “airports with the least security measures” and take their inspiration from Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab, the “Underpants Bomber” who tried and failed to blow up a plane bound for Detroit from Amsterdam on Christmas Day 2009 with a homemade bomb hidden in his underwear bomb.

He is now serving a life sentence in the US for the attack.

The first issue of Inspire, published in 2010, contained a notorious explosives guide called Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom.

The manual was suspected to have been the template for explosives which killed three and injured more than 250 in last year’s Boston Marathon bombings….

    What is the total cost of having Muslims in the world? And what do we get for all the extra policing, surveillance cameras, paying for their halal registration of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and foods (and ‘halal’ certified shipping!), as well as separate facilities for Muslims, separate prayer rooms, washing rooms, debates in EVERY assembly from local to national to accommodate their demands, etc., etc.???

    What is the total cost of Islam to us? Do we get anything back?

    • JMB says

      Dec 28, 2014 at 3:31 pm

      I would like to see a definitive answer to the above question. It is a question that is being asked more and more, everything from airport security to Halal certification costs. Perhaps the cost aspect may even get the most enthusiastic PC multiculturalism advocates to start thinking about the (non) benefits if Islam in our society.

      In the meantime we have another Muslim operated airliner which has disappeared “off the screen”. Some good advice for air travellers is never travel on; 1, Any 3rd world airline, 2, Any Muslim operated airline & 3, Any airline that carries Muslim passengers.

      And, I will say it again, the only way to stop the terror is to intern and/or deport all Muslims from Western countries. Drastic, yes but the alternatives are even worse.

        Speaking of the missing Asia Airlines A320, I wonder how long it will be before an Imam claims that they have only gone missing because of the West not submitting to Allah. I feel sorry for ALL the passengers and crew on that plane I wonder if Muslims will be feeling sorry for any non Muslims on it, or on any of the planes that their religious compatriots are trying to bring down.

        The loss of historical artifacts, records and, above all, the identity of the islamized people is immeasurable.

      You forgot to mention council houses that have to have bathrooms ripped out in order to fit foot troughs and butt spraying toilets, all at tax-payers expense by means of increased council tax; while the jihadis live freely on DWP benefits; again, at tax-payers expense!

      Not to mention the millions to keep a roof over their heads so they can sit on their fat asses all day and contribute absolutely nothing to the economy.

      • Tommo says

        Sometimes they move their ‘fat asses’ to drive their people carrier (often provided by lefty councils) to visit their other wives, also housed at our expense, for servicing and checking on family members living with their mothers.

      Here in the UK you can start by totalling the welfare costs, including unemployment benefit (nearly 50% of muslim adult males are and 75% of adult muslim females are not officially employed and claiming benefits – how much would that exceed the national average for the indigenous population?),the child support payments and education costs where these exceed the UK norm, and social security and housing benefits to all the muslim ‘single mothers’ who are actually polygamous spouses. Then you look at the policing, legal aid, court and prison costs resulting from muslim crime where this exceeds the national norm for indigenous citizens (for a start, the average prisoner in a UK jail costs over £40,000 per year to keep, but you would have to add a significant percentage on top of that due to the special treatment and privileges that muslim are for some reason given in UK jails; bearing in mind that muslims currently account for just 4% of the UK population but over 13% of the UK prison population, this would mean that 9% of total prison expenditure can be accounted for by excessive numbers of muslims, which must amount to hundreds of millions of pounds sterling per year), and then you have to add to that.the costs of support and medical treatment for the victims of muslim crime where this might exceed the proportion of crimes committed by other sections of the population. And on top of that, you have to compute the consequential costs of things like insurance, where the excessive criminal activities of muslims causes premium hikes for the general public.Then you have to add the costs of additional security operations by the police, MI5, airlines and airport and other transport authorities to prevent muslim terrorist atrocities on the UK mainland, and I believe that much time and effort has been expended in thwarting at least 200 such plots since 9/11. Now add THAT lot up, and I think we’re talking billions of pounds sterling per year. And that’s just the UK, population about 63 million with just a 4 million muslim component. Add the rest of Europe (France in particular) and Scandinavia (where muslims have caused an 80% increase in crime) and the figure would go right through the roof. And that’s just Western Europe!!

    Really sad to hear and see what is happening in Britain. The cowardice of the authorities in the face of Moslem aggression. The suffering of non-Moslems, and the failure of the government and police to protect them. Tommy Robinson (and others like him) is truly a hero for speaking out, even though he is threatened by the Moslems and the authorities.

    • Angry says

      Tommy Robinson quit the EDL in 2013 and joined the muslim organisation Quilliam, which incidently was set-up in the 19th century by William Quilliam, who converted to islam, built the first mosque in Britain, in order to spread the faith!

      Tommy Robinson is a traitor within inner circles! And certainly NOT someone to admire when they ‘SURRENDER’ with ease!

      The EDL’s motto is NO SURRENDER! Tommy did!

      • ManchesterLad says

        Dec 28, 2014 at 7:36 pm

        Well the question must surely be: did he contribute to the debate and to the spreading of knowledge about Islam in the UK?

        I think he most certainly did. I can not blame him for giving up after constant hounding by the police and authorities. He has the safety and welfare of his family to consider. Surely it is his choice how far he decides to take it?

        I suppose you think Robert Spencer is a coward for keeping his identity and home address a secret too?

        • Tommo says

          Dec 29, 2014 at 4:53 am

          Tommy was hounded by the police and imprisoned for his beliefs. Unfortunately no-one in power in this vast democracy was wiling to support him which speaks volumes where the country is headed. Tony is well placed in Quilliam to monitor what is going on there and I don’t think he has ‘sold out’ at all.

        I knew about Tommy’s apparent treason. but I based my comment on a just published Youtube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyzGayfI400&feature=youtu.be&app=desktop
        Here he seems to be back on the anti-Islam job. Is this an old video, or a new one, then?

    Seriously, beyond the monstrous treatment of women, child rape and murder, animal
    cruelty with their pretentious self-indulgent ‘religious’ rituals that sexually gratify them,
    the horrendous persecution of indigenous religious groups that they’ve made into
    minorities with their deceit, the highly suspicious level of murderous homophobia
    they exhibit, is there actually ANYTHING positive these unnatural arsewipes
    have to contribute to humanity? Errr, no.

    • ManchesterLad says

      Dec 28, 2014 at 7:43 pm

      I do not know of anything positive Islam brings to the world. I quite like cous-cous.

      I believe Islam will eventually die out, it is just a question of how many millions it takes with it.

      Education is the enemy of Islam. With an un-educated and repressed population such as in middle-east countries Islam can thrive. Now it is unleashed in the west with a population that expects higher standards of freedom than Islam can embrace, it will eventually become socially unacceptable to support it as people do eventually wake up to this social cancer.

      At the moment, the west seems determined to prolong this period of Islamo-ignorance for as long as possible. Thus securing only greater carnage.

      • Alissa says

        Dec 28, 2014 at 8:46 pm

        Are you serious? You think Islam will eventually die out? Your “naivete” (and I’m being kind here) is exactly why the UK and all of Europe for that matter is in trouble.

        • Jay Boo says

          Dec 28, 2014 at 9:22 pm

          ManchesterLad is correct, sort of
          Islam has a tendency to cannibalize itself as it slowly rots from the judgmental hatreds within wherever it infects.
          Unfortunately, in the sort term, it leaves a trail of carnage of non-Muslims in its path.
          Allah is a Muslim’s excuse.
          Muhammad is a Muslim’s example.
          When the Ponzi scheme Islam is exposed out in the open for its shameful buffoonery it loses its power to attract new Muslims.
          Many Muslims are already leaving Islam.
          Toto will pull the curtain on this e Wiz of Iz

      • Paul says

        Dec 29, 2014 at 8:58 am

        I agree with you to a large extent. Though I think a huge problem lies in
        the fact that there are a lot of Muslims here in Europe who are more
        radical than those in the Middle East, thanks to Saudi funded supremacist
        groups and hate preachers, and our corrupt ‘leaders’ who turn a blind eye.
        Another problem is their alliance with the scummy unwashed tree-hugging
        lefties. There was a demonstration in London attended by Choudary’s insane
        followers, the EDL, and Maryam Namazie and a bunch of ex- and moderate
        minded Muslims demonstrating against Sharia law. ‘Unite Against Fascism’
        (Unite Against Freedom) turned up and joined Choudary’s lot in demonstrating
        FOR Sharia law. Didn’t surprise me at all, given that one of Lee Rigby’s murderers
        had links with that disgusting organisation. In my opinion, our priority should be
        to reject, ridicule and ultimately completely discredit unholy alliances like these.
        And people have to stop falling for this ‘racist’ nonsense, it’s been used
        wrongly for too long and is really tiring.

        Islam does not cannibal it self. It is pruning it self of the weaker and deviant sects, and like a tree grows much stronger and bears more fruit.

    Jihadis call for attacks on UK airlines to “crush the enemy’s economy”
    …………………………..

    This was a major part of what 9/11 and most other Jihad terrorist attacks are about—to cost the Infidels huge amounts in increased security and losses in the fear of passengers and other customers who stay away from markets or are spending their own money on security.

    Winston Churchill wrote: “To build may be the slow and laborious task of years, to destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day”—except of course that in Islam such destruction is completely intentional, and is a central part of this foul creed.

        You don’t know how quotation marks work, do you? Gravenimage quoted Churchill (Winston Churchill wrote: “To build may be the slow and laborious task of years, to destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day”) and then added something of her own (—except of course that in Islam such destruction is completely intentional, and is a central part of this foul creed) – the quotation marks are not there by accident, nor is the hyphen.

    I don’t think you’re right (but I pray you are) because history does not bear that out ie. Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, etc They were once predominately Christian but haven’t been for a very long time.

    “Jihadists are instructed to … take their inspiration from Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab, the “Underpants Bomber” who tried and failed to blow up a plane”

    The “Underpants Bomber” tried and failed. So jihadists should not emulate him.
    A good jihadist needs to hide his bomb somewhere else…

    Sorry…how does a threat indicate “appeasement”? What would you like the UK government to do in face of this threat?

    Frankly, I think this anti-British stuff is the stuff of a mind in terminal warp. What has ANY country done to combat threats like these – or anything else of consequence for that matter?
