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.

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….
