A jihadi trainee pilot. Anyone who objects, remember, is a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”
“I don’t know if he worked, I think he just studied to be a pilot.”
Who paid for that? British taxpayers, with their generous welfare system that all too many jihadis take as the jizya that they consider to be their due (cf. Qur’an 9:29)?
“Manchester attack: ‘Trainee pilot’ arrested as investigation spreads across Britain,” by Hayley Dixon, Telegraph, May 29, 2017 (thanks to the Geller Report):
A “trainee pilot” has been arrested as the investigation into the terror network behind Salman Abedi spreads across Britain.
The 23-year-old, understood to be Libyan, was arrested at a property in Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex, more than 260 miles from the Manchester Arena where Abedi detonated a suicide bomb a week ago killing 22 people.
Neighbours said that they were shocked that the police activity had reached their doorstep.
Violet Mainda, the Kenyan-born owner of Violet’s Hairdresser’s beneath the flat, said: “He was a young Libyan guy who was always very jovial and nice.
“He said he was training to be a pilot at Shoreham Airfield and he had just completed doing that. I am really, really shocked by this. I can’t believe he had been arrested.
“He had a few friends and a girlfriend and always seemed very nice. I don’t know if he worked, I think he just studied to be a pilot. He said he was studying to become a pilot at Shoreham.”
Armed officers also swooped on sites across Manchester in a flurry of raids and arrests over the weekend as they worked to stamp out any lingering threat from co-conspirators to Monday’s massacre.
The Sussex arrest early on Monday morning brings the number of people in custody in relation to the the attack to 14….

Planes and Muslims go together about as well as long-distance running and smoking several packs of cigarettes a day, though at least the latter would not be lethal to others. This, of course, is a very big “at least.” Very.
Phil Copson says
Islamic aviation and terrorism…….carpet-bombing ?
ninetyninepct says
Planes with Muslims often bump into high buildings. Training a Muslim / Middle Eastern pilot is stupidity.
Just say NO.
Kiki says
Thank goodness they caught this pilot-trainee! I don’t even want to think about what damage he could have done had he gotten his license…..
Bravo security forces for catching him and the other suspects!
ensitue says
Kiki the 9-11 hijackers never got their licenses and on the subject of Europe it is already too late to stop the mass suicide Socialist Europeans and even Canadians are embarked upon and it’s gonna be a dam close thing for the US as well Trump is bringing thousands of these beasts every day and paying them $1000s each month while I live on less than $1000.
mortimer says
He was said to be “…. always very jovial and nice”. Except that he was planning to KILL BRITISH CITIZENS INDISCRIMINATELY.
What is wrong with the British politicians? Don’t they care about their voters? Don’t the British voters care about their own lives?
Are British people too STONED or too DRUNK to realize that this is a HOLY WAR against CRUSADERS? Have the British people looked at their flag recently and understood what Muslims see? They see a Crusader flag and they want to MURDER British Crusaders.
Islam has a teaching called Al Walaa wal Baraa that says Muslims are supposed to HATE kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah.’
When are Britons going to WAKE UP and SMELL THE JIHAD?
Diane Harvey says
“I don’t know if he worked, I think he just studied to be a pilot.”
Why work when the UK taxpayers will gladly pay you not to work. Suffering succotash!, what is going on in the UK?
His flight instruction told reporters that he wasn’t too interested in learning about take-offs or landings. “He just wanted to know how to make gentle turns, maintain level flight, and aim,” said Ashcroft Wellington III, Chief of Instruction at the Won Wing Lo Flight School at Heathrow Airport. “He kept using that term of ‘aim’ a great deal. We’re not certain exactly what he was trying to accomplish.”
WPM says
None of the 911 hijackers had a pilot lic. the hardest part of piloting a plane is the landing ,the iSLAMICS usually skip that part of the lesson plan.
WPM says
Germany had V2 rockets ,Islam has young idiots!
Joe says
I think they should vet all student pilots for islamophobia. /sarc
David, Thailand says
The British authorities would be thoroughly surprised by a 911-style jihad attack; last thing they could imagine is someone flying planes into buildings.
James says
It’s not as though anyone had ever done it before.
One of the problems is a failure of imagination. People who have nothing for which they can imagine laying down their lives cannot imagine that others might have commitments for which they would be glad to lay down their lives. IMHO, the readiness of jihadis to die for their cause is unlikely to be understood by anyone who is not an orthodox Christian or an orthodox Jew. Liberalism does not make martyrs – people are not going to die – or kill – for a mere possibility.

UK: Muslim “trainee pilot” arrested in connection with Manchester jihad massacre
………………………..
Jihadis studying to be pilots? Why does that ring a bell? sarc/off
PRCS says
“He said he was training to be a pilot at Shoreham Airfield and he had just completed doing that.”
Per that statement–if accurate–no longer a student pilot.
A pilot.
Jon says
Radical young Muslims are commonly referring to benefits paid to them via social security systems in their host countries as ‘jizya’, the tax due to Muslims in their own countries by allowing Christians and other non-Muslim minorities to live among them. Reference can be found to the nature of jizya in Surah 9:5 ‘Convert, pay jizya or die’
