If he had been interviewed for this job, no one would have dreamed of trying to determine his sentiments toward jihad and Sharia. That would have been “Islamophobic.”
“Pak-born London terrorist was trying to get job with Wimbledon security firm: Report,” PTI, June 11, 2017:
LONDON: Pakistan-born British citizen Khuram Butt, the London Bridge attack ringleader, had been trying to get a job with a security firm that provides stewards for Wimbledon and other sporting events, raising concerns whether he had considered targeting the prestigious tennis tournament.
Security services and counter-terrorism police are now investigating 27-year-old Butt’s+ motive in trying to get the job with the security company, the Telegraph reported on Sunday.
Citing well-placed sources, the paper said that Butt had set up the job interview with the security firm that supplies safety stewards to Wimbledon and to Premier League football clubs. The interview was scheduled to take place at the end of this month.
“One possibility is Butt had considered targeting the tennis tournament but decided to speed up the plot, following the Manchester Arena bombing+ , and switched the attack to London Bridge,” the paper said.
Butt had previously worked for six months on the London Underground until quitting in October.
Although he was under lowlevel investigation by MI5 and counterterrorism police, Butt was able to get a job working at Westminster station because employers are not made aware of security services’ concerns when performing criminal records checks, the paper said.
“The security firm would check his background but it does not have access to the police watch list or have knowledge of any MI5 investigation. There would have been no reason for him not to get the job. Butt could not only have caused serious damage but potentially helped other terrorists to get into one of these events,” the paper said, quoting a source close to the intelligence services.
Butt and his aides Moroccan-origin Rachid Redouane and Moroccon-Italian Yousef Zaghba rammed a high-speed van into pedestrians on London Bridge before stabbing revellers at the nearby Borough Market, killing eight people before being shot dead by armed police officers last week….

Forget about this. Worry about the thousands of others who were hired precisely because they are Muslim, and the hiring manager was afraid of being called Islamophobic.
berserker says
All he ever wanted was to work at Wimbledon and be a role model for young Mohammedans. The Islamophobes would not let him. Imagine some day a Mohammedan inspired by this fine gentlemen would win Wimbledon. Now that will not happen.

How ironic that a criminal record check doesn’t have a flag on it and any such check done on jihadis applying for safety security work won’t be identified.
My wuestion is : How many hundreds or thousands of these Trojan Horse radical jihadis are put in charge of your childs safety or you and your loved ones when you are travelling or attending some public function? It’s a damned scary thought that the foxes are inside the coop pretending to keep the chickens safe …. until the fox devides it’s time for all your chickens to die.
Nigel GFF says
You’re quite correct Tom, but labelling someone as a potential jihadi is Islamophobic. How sad it is that bottles of bleach have better labelling as being potentially injurious to health.
The point about having a doomsday bomb is that you tell everyone that you possess such a device (Dr Strangelove), and not releasing information after the event.

As a matternof fact there is Kufrophobia and even Idolophobia against Pagans and Hindu Mushriques. All evangelists are part of it. None of Abrahmics spoke when Pagan Yezidis were being slaightered and their women turned int sex slaves. Shame on Abrahmics. They do not dare to speak about their Idolophobia which is the reason Christians did not speak for yezidis because they share idoliphobia with Islam. The day they can speak against anti paganism they would have the moral courage to speak about Islamic Phobias. Till then they can remain politically correct..
Hindvi says
Christians and Jews hate idolator pagans. Read new and old testaments. The real estate grabbing by abrahmics started with occupation of pagan temples and pagan lands. Moses did that and many others did that in the name of cloning moses behavioir. Mohammad was the first to clone moses actions and use that to occupy hindu pagan temple of mecca. The entire enterprise of cloning mohammad statrted thereafter. Mohammad wasba fallen pagan. He undertook 40 days of fast in hira cave and could not overcome the hurdles of visions that came on his way of pagan practice. He fell from pagan path and his body and spirit was possessed by the kapurusha. He became the megalomaniac fallen man who thought god is speaking through him when actually kapurisha or satan had possessed him. Now every muslim clones him. He lives in their bodies. The satan lives through Islam in muslim bodies. These bodies can only he exorcised and not reformed.
Hindvi says
The fact remains that mohammad used the idolophobia of Abrahmics and turned it into the biggest war cry and real estate grabbing ideology. It was a political master stroke by a bedouin using christianity and judaisms own latent hate ideology against pagans.
WPM says
Christians and Judaism do not have” latent” hate ideology against pagans ,in the Arabia peninsula before Islam you had Jews ,Christians ,and Pagans all in close communities. They trade with each other some were farmers, some craftsmen , some far traveling traders. I am sure they was some conflicts on local levels but no out right war. Mohammed came in barrowed ideas from all three for his war cult Islam and wipe the Arabia Penninsula of the other three. He then lead his armies west to kill all Christians and Jews. He sent his army east to kill all Buddhists and Hindus. Islam hate all Kafir ,Christians ,Jews and all “pagans” non Islamic people are Kafir. We have no terrorist attacks in the name of Christ, or Moses against Hindus and Buddhist. Christians will try to convert thru speech and reason if you fail to convert they walk away, Islamics will not walk away they kill you or subjugate you into 3 class people .
WPM says
As far as Christians and Jews speaking up some do ,but MSM does not carry any water for them {that is why this site is important}. The Christians are not even fighting back or speaking up about terror attacks ,rape ect in there own lands. The Jews have been fighting to protect there own land the land they have been on for over 3000 years. We as free people have a common enemy Islam what God or gods or no god we worship is not as important as living under freedom from Islam subjugating us all into becoming there slaves.

It is not much different in the U.S. as the resist movement, want to talk about racism and Russians, ignoring a growing threat of islamic terror. and blindness a hijra, a muslim / refugee migration,as preparation. So much so that during the past administration and before the threat was so good at getting protection they could and did walk the halls of the Pentagon as moderate muslims educated professionals eager to make the intrinsic ties of Islam to terrorism a “mute” fact and screamed racism. Flying lessons, bus drivers, school teachers,advisors to presidents, doctors, media, marketing, science ,food inspectors, computer techs, advisors and politicians. It works well. Once they pull off the school influence to accept sharia and train the children they are home free in my opinion. Maybe…
