Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

France: Muslim staff at Paris airport sanctioned for having Qur’an in lockers and refusing to trim beards

Jun 10, 2016 9:52 am By Robert Spencer

This indicates that underneath all the politically correct nonsense, French authorities know very well that there is a correlation between devout adherence to Islam and interest in jihad terror activity — not in each and every case, but frequently enough to cause grave concern: not all devout Muslims are jihadis, but (despite mainstream media obfuscation on this point) virtually all jihadis are devout Muslims.

The airport workers’ union, however, remains resolutely in denial: “Despite fears that this could have left the airport vulnerable to attack, an official from the airport workers’ union suggested on Saturday that overwork and cost-cutting efforts were a greater risk than the religious beliefs of staff.” Of course. That’s why we see so many overworked and underpaid people engaging in terror attacks.

FRANCE-BELGIUM-ATTACKS-SECURITY

“French airport staff sanctioned for keeping Quran in lockers: Report,” Middle East Eye, May 21, 2016 (thanks to Truth Revolt):

A vetting process launched by the French security agency reportedly saw Muslim staff at Charles de Gaulle airport sanctioned for having copies of the Quran in their lockers and refusing to trim their beards.

The procedures were put in place following attacks that hit Paris last January and November, aiming to vet all Muslim staff at French airports.

At Charles de Gaulle, a bustling airport in the capital, more than 60 passes allowing employees to access airside areas of the facility were withdrawn for “inappropriate behaviour,” The Times reported on Saturday.

Among the behaviour that saw employees sanctioned was praying at mosques considered “Salafist” and not shaking hands with female colleagues.

Vetting procedures at Charles de Gaulle, one of the world’s largest aviation hubs, have come under renewed scrutiny since EgyptAir flight MS804 crashed into the Mediterranean on Thursday after setting off from the airport….

All staff at French airports are subject to a criminal record check and are vetted by the security agency before being permitted to work.

However, high staff turnover – and the fact that almost all staff are sub-contracted to work at the airport from several different private companies – meant that procedures at Charles de Gaulle may not have been as stringent in practice as they were in theory.

Despite fears that this could have left the airport vulnerable to attack, an official from the airport workers’ union suggested on Saturday that overwork and cost-cutting efforts were a greater risk than the religious beliefs of staff….

    If some of the measures work, then they have my approval. It would be better were no Muslims to be employed at airports. Today’s moderate may well be tomorrow’s bomber.

    The left wanted Islamphobia now they got it. They asked for this the only thing I have to say is, we reap what we sow.

    “a greater risk”

    Of doing what, exactly?

    May I assume, then, there’s a greater probability that an aircraft might be sabotaged if the potential murderer is both overworked and underpaid AND a Muslim?

    I remember landing at Charles de Gaulle airport back in the mid-’90’s. Islam wasn’t a thought. Not remotely, not at all. Now, in the 21st century, you can’t visit France without Islam/Muslims being factors to consider.

    One Muslim in six approves of jihad terror. About one Muslim in 3,000 to 6,000 is an actual terrorist.

    If they don’t do the crime themselves, they will help a jihadist who is willing to die for his faith.

    French Airport Akbar.

    At what point will they say that hiring Muslims at an airport is too risky?

    Hollands ratings aren’t so good. Every so often they throw a crumb at the people to placate them. Obummer does it too by taking out the odd jihadi leader.

    Haha! Spencer’s articles are great, and this one really made me laugh: “…Of course. That’s why we see so many overworked and underpaid people engaging in terror attacks.”

    I can only recommend that all we patriots and sane people fly Israeli airlines from now on. European airports and so-called ‘checks’ are ridiculous!! They have no clue as to how to deal with islam, and they should really stop hiring moslems at airports, since that would diminish the risk of terror many times.
