But to try to screen Muslim employees, which is well-nigh impossible anyway, or to stop hiring Muslims — that would be “Islamophobic.”
“Islamist extremists ‘recruiting staff at airports in France,'” by Nicholas Cecil and Peter Allen, Evening Standard, May 20, 2016:
Islamist extremists are attempting to recruit staff at French airports, it was claimed today.
Workers at Charles de Gaulle airport were checked out in a security review following last November’s Paris terror attack.
Eric Moucay, a lawyer who represented some of the staff, made the claim today as he discussed how around 70 employees reportedly had their security passes revoked.
The review also found 57 workers with access to runway and aircraft were allegedly on an intelligence watchlist as potential Islamist extremists.
Mr Moucay told the BBC Today programme: “There is effectively recruitment going at the airports, that’s clear. There are people who are being radicalised in some of the trade unions. The authorities have their work cut out with this problem.”
Some 4000 lockers belonging to permanent staff members were also searched for any evidence linking them to radical groups.
Augustin de Romanet, head of the Paris airport authority, admitted there were fears about the “phenomenon of radicalisation” of Muslim staff who came from deprived estates surrounding the airport.
The downing of the EgyptAir flight led to a multi-million pound campaign to promote Paris as a tourist destination being abandoned today.
French foreign minister Jean-Marc Ayrault had been due to join the city’s Mayor, Anne Hidalgo, to launch the initiative at the Eiffel Tower this morning. But they decided to cancel the event amid growing terrorism fears.
Senior politicians and tourist chiefs were keen to encourage people back to the city following two major terrorist attacks last year, in which almost 150 people were killed.
“The Paris promotion was meant to reverse this trend, but under the present circumstances it just couldn’t go ahead,” said a source at the City Hall in Paris.
Security has been tightened at all Paris airports since last year’s attacks, with uniformed soldiers joining police patrols….

All Muslims working at airports should have monthly lie-detector tests.
WorkingClassPost says
That would be ‘phobic!
But, apart from the cost, there’s nothing to stop everyone receiving a polygraph, if they have access to security sensitive areas, then nobody could claim islamofobia.
Maybe that would show just how much people’s lives are worth in comparison?
They may not care about us, but add the cost of the plane, plus search and rescue, to be really mercenary and they may worry about their bottom line.
If governments or insurance companies get involved, the airlines would have no choice.
Georg says
Lie detectors must be used for all sorts of things related to the Islamization threat, but this is definitely paramount.
Judi says
Muzzrats should not be employed at airports at all. I am sure there would be plenty of non muzzrats only too eager for a job at an airport.
ninetyninepct says
Muzzrats should not be employed – full stop.

Hourly

When will Obama stop US Airlines from landing in Paris?
He did it to Israel because a Hamas missile landed in an empty field ONE MILE from Ben-Gurion International Airport
TheDane says
There should be NO moslems working at airports, or in other sensitive, high-security-demanding areas for that matter. Period!
Angemon says
Oh, good, they’re on an “intelligence” “watchlist” – I feel safer already…
mortimer says
When in Paris, fly with El Al.
Kaffir says
Islamophobia = common sense
Champ says
Employing muslims at an airport is like putting the fox in charge of the hen-house …
Never trust a muslim.
ECAW says
Very true. I flew into Luton Airport recently (Luton – where the EDL was born) and I couldn’t help noticing how many of the security staff appeared to be of Pakistani origin. It looked like a form of jizya paid by us to the people causing the problems which create the need for the checking which requires local labour.

I wouldn’t go to Europe or Britain now even if someone gave me free tickets and hotel accommodation! It is just to ugly and heartbreaking to see. And I’d end up getting arrested anyway. It would be so crazy to have my first meeting of a Hijab or Burqua and and get arrested by asking her if she is actually happy wearing that HOT garment.
Sog says
I’m really surprised that Aisha isn’t the most common name for a new puppy these days. “Un-clean animal? Screw that. I’d be tempted to name a new puppy Aisha and instead of a stupid bandanna, she’d have to wear the hijab, of course!
Polk1970 says
THAT would be animal cruelty

Linnte, when first seeing a walking curtain, say innocently, “Oh, is it Hallow’een in Britain?”
linnte says
Oh it would be much worse than that Senior! I am really badly nastily vocal when I am confronted with atrocities! Hahahahahahaha! Insert foot A into mouth B kind of thing. Best I just stay home!
Don McKellar says
And it’s just STARTING. The Islamic terror attacks will only INCREASE from here. The threat level will only INCREASE from now. The deaths of innocent Europeans will only INCREASE from this point on. You incredible EU retards — you have brought this upon yourselves.
You have no President Trump in your future. You are doomed.
ECAW says
Thanks for that encouraging note. I daresay everything is hunky dory where you are.
ECAW says
Mind you, come to think of it, I can’t really disagree with you:

DM, I hate the EU with every fibre of my being. I did not vote to go into it and will be voting to come out of it.
I believe the people of Europe have been conned by traitorous leaders.
If Britain is allowed to leave,others will follow. This is our last chance and only hope for the future.
ECAW says
Yes, our best hope is the disintegration of the EU and the reassertion of national concerns of individual countries for their citizens. It doesn’t look great for the Brexit campaign at the moment but who knows? I think the EU will collapse in time regardless as nationalistic (sorry, far-right) parties grow. There is a chance that the Austrian presidential election in a week’s time will be won by such. Their leader has said “You will be surprised just how much a president can do”:

Sog says
At least ask that anyone renounce the lines of the Koran that say you should kill people. Have everyone renounce those lines, whether they’re Muslim or not. If the “golden rule” doesn’t trump killing apostates or taxing, enslaving, or otherwise abusing Kafir, then send them back to purgatory (Syria or North Africa) until they see the light.
If anyone can’t rationally explain how and why the golden rule trumps submission, then they have to go back to purgatory.

they will its called taqiuah

Hiring a mossie is like playing russian roulette. Only crazies try it.
JawsV says
“Muslim roulette” – brought to us by the post-9/11 21st century.
Polk1970 says
This century SUCKS
bridgette says
Liberal roulette. The blood of every infidel slaughtered in our countries are on their hands.
Lawrence says
Heathrow airport is so Muslim, that is in terms of workers there, ground staff etc. I mean it really is quite incredible,and of course now that London has its new Muslim mayor, well no change there, that’s for sure.
WorkingClassPost says
I agree about the need for lie detectors, but for all.
One of the biggest problems is people who convert and stay under the radar.
I also don’t see it as such a big deal. One machine and operator on a rolling schedule, Just test each employee with security clearance and when they are all don’t, start again from the beginning.
Machines can be fooled, but not as easily as people.
WorkingClassPost says
Stupid phone: all done, then start again…
Polk1970 says
Polgraph them every day when they arrive for work.
Polygraph them every break and lunch hour,and before the go hiome,in case “SuddenJihad Syndrome “afflicts”them
Carmel says
Maybe the first one on the check list in Paris should be Anne Hidalgo. She was first personality to congratualte muslim mayor of London of his election . First to come in the next day .She is preempting appartments in every « arrondissements de Paris», sending Parisians to suburbs giving these appartments to syrian muslim refugees so they will vote for leftists in next election.Another socialist, elected in Assemblée Nationale, comment that « Now it is Paris ‘s turn to have a muslim mayor so to prove Parisians and French are not racists,» There was only one sentence missing:« Vote for me , next time , I’m muslim . »
steve says
Get Israeli security experts,simple as that.
Polk1970 says
Exactly
Polk1970 says
See,this is the BS of the Left.
They are using Fair-Hiring Laws to infiltrate POTENTIAL JIHADI TERRORISTS into Airports
