How did they get the jobs in the first place? Why, to question them about their views on jihad and related matters would have been “Islamophobic.”
“London Bridge attack mastermind Khuram Butt’s sister ‘is SACKED from Heathrow after being suspended over security fears,'” by Anthony Joseph, MailOnline, July 5, 2017 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):
The London Bridge terror attack mastermind Khuram Butt’s sister has been sacked from Heathrow after being suspended over security fears.
Haleema Butt, 28, got a job working at Britain’s biggest airport two months before her brother, 27, massacred revellers last month – killing eight and injuring dozens more.
Her husband was also suspended from his job at the airport. There is no suggestion Haleema or her husband Usman Darr are extremists or knew what Butt was planning.
Heathrow have declined to release details of the security checks its staff undergo, although for similar roles in the police, the history of applicants’ family is reviewed.
Khuram was known to MI5 after appearing in a Channel 4 documentary called The Jihadis Next Door.
Following the attack on London Bridge, which saw Khuram and accomplices Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba drive a van into pedestrians, jumping out and going on a stabbing spree, Haleema was reportedly suspended from her job over security fears.
Her husband, Usman Darr, who also worked on security, was suspended as well, a source confirmed to MailOnline.
When approached at her Harrow home by the Daily Mirror, Haleema said: ‘You should take it up with Heathrow.’
There is no suggestion Haleema Butt or Usman Darr are extremists or knew what Butt was planning.
His family are said to have had their lives turned upside down by his actions and, in a statement, said they ‘strongly condemn these actions’.
In a statement, his family said: ‘As a family we are shocked and appalled by the actions of Khuram and his associates.
‘We strongly condemn these actions. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families at this time.
‘Now more than ever we need to work together to stop the actions of the mindless few who claim to be acting in the name of Islam.’…

Guess the Brits don’t see any problem with having Muslims work at airports. Kinda like having foxes guarding the henhouse.
Do they really think that the Muslims give a damn about going to jail when they would willingly blow themselves up along with their children just to kill a few infidels?
John Forbes says
Australia has the same issues with many Muslims working at air ports ! ALL part of the LEFTIST DIVERSITY package ! Part of the MULTICULTURALISM deal whereby we all get to PRETEND that there is no danger !
The best description of the LIES Peddled by the LEFT & GOVERNMENTS in the WEST is details by DOUGLAS MURRAY in the YOU TUBE POSTS – what have we learned & I hope to HELL DONALD TRUMP LISTENS !! Turnbull certainly is not – DEAF & CONNED as USUAL DOWN UNDER !!!
ninetyninepct says
Australia is even advertising for “devout Muslims” for their submarines. Prayer space will be arranged.
John Forbes says
The UK has been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood in all areas including security so do not look for any direction there !
ANY NATION THAT CAN HIDE A MUSLIM CHILD RAPING INDUSTRY FOR OVER TWO DECADES & HAVE POLICE REFUSE TO EVEN LISTEN OR GO AFTER CHILD RAPING GROUPS DESERVES NO RESPECT AT ALL !! Check out ANDREW NORFOLK – an UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH !

‘Now more than ever we need to work together to stop the actions of the mindless few who claim to be acting in the name of Islam.’…
They try to maintain the fiction even though they know better. If there wasn’t good reason to fire them before, there is now with that statement. It tells me everything I need to know about them. They have picked up that “catchy phrase” they have heard the media and the Left bouncing around and used it for their cover, but undoubtedly their dear departed brother/brother-in-law would have pointed out to them all the verses in the Quran that compelled him to act long ago..
George Williams says
Mindless few? Apparently you have not paid much attention to Robert. Spencer.

What is George Williams babbling about?
High Hopes says
It actually beggars belief when the same ‘we had no idea what he was up to, there was no sign’ is trotted out. Are we to believe that a jihadi to be, fired up on his ‘divine’ mission wouldn’t have objectionable views, see the world in an extreme way, and this wouldn’t leak into his everyday speech. I am dome with being treated like an absolute MUG, as we say in London!
moeped says
Here come the lawsuits.
On another note, it has been said that there’s only one way to be victorious: All or Nothing. Somebody in the UFC said that I think.

UK: Heathrow Airport fires sister of London Bridge jihad murderer and her husband over security concerns
……………………
Not every relative of Jihadists engages in or supports violent Jihad–but most of them certainly do.
Guy Macher says
No Muslims should be hired to work in any area of an airport! What is wrong with people? They want to kill us. READ the KORAN. thequran.com
Matthieu Baudin says
“… Heathrow have declined to release details of the security checks its staff undergo, although for similar roles in the police, the history of applicants’ family is reviewed…”
Traditional Islam is like a family of the faithful and during a period of heightened violent Jihad activity it would be prudent if high security agencies had the discretion to vet potential employees on the basis of this association.

I take great care never to fly via London or Paris. The of jihadis working in the secure area is ridiculous. In Frankfurt I have only seen one shaved upper lip working. He was security.
To me this is beyond belief. Like Bobbies in London wearing a swastika armband during the blitz.
Barbara says
YEP I agree, I am frightened.
Jayell says
Here’s another UK ‘lapse of security!……
“Muslim FM radio station broadcast 25 hours of Al Qaeda speeches calling for a holy war ‘by mistake’
Hate preacher Anwar Al-Awlaki was killed in a US drone strike in Yemen in 2011
Iman FM in Sheffield broadcast 25 hours of Al-Awlaki’s sermons in June
A complaint was made to Ofcom who suspended Iman FM’s broadcast licence
The radio station now has 21 days to explain or face a permanent closure…… ”
Well, they’re not wrong, it most certainly WAS a ‘mistake’. And these people seem to be having some trouble in understanding that you’re not supposed to make ‘mistakes’, because they apparently continue to repeat them. Again. And again. And they don’t seem to be too bothered that they’re getting a bit of a reputation, no doubt because ‘reputations’ don’t matter if the opinions of others don’t matter – because other people apparently don’t matter, period.

Grimly hilarious.
Lawrence says
Heathrow airport staff is I swear seemingly predominantly Muslim. It was hugely Muslim about fifteen years ago, God knows what it is like now. A disaster.
Jayell says
Let’s put it this way. Once you’re off the plane at Heathrow and into the terminal building you might be forgiven for thinking that you’d been diverted to Islamabad without being told. And some of the time that goes for the personnel in the passport control section as well. At least it’s not as bad as Luton, where you could be convinced you’d been diverted once you’re OUTSIDE the airport!
Pete says
Yep. Last year I worked in utility services at heathrow and was amazed to see all those muslims, bearded et all checking us in critical security areas. I wondered who the hell placed them in these locations to check on us infixels
Dora Thickett says
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. A good reason to remove them from positions of security.
Barbara says
You are correct!
Anne Smith says
There is almost a closed trade union of Asian staff working for the airlines in the catering branches – there can be trouble if people who are not of their culture are employed, e.g. strikes and go slows. Therefore the airlines tend to keep them pacified and employ their relatives when they arrive (on staff travel) in the UK to live.
Yes, arriving at Heathrow, especially on Sunday mornings it is like Karachi.
Linnte says
First sensible thing UK has done in years!
Barbara says
I agree!

The ugliness on the face reveals the ugliness, the hatred, the self-loathing and the bitterness inside.

The hand writing is on the wall. Europe will wait until people are killed or maimed before doing a thing about the Muslims. For goodness sake!. History is full of Muslim aggression, violence and their intentions to take over the world….This is nothing new….These idiots are our enemy. I ask you, EUROPE AND THE USA are you insane for having your enemy live in your back yards and in your neighborhood? Why would you invite Muslims to migrate to Europe then? Muslims must be EVICTED and sent back to the Middle East, Saudi Arabia for financing them and Yemen for training them. Then, they must live in tents or caves and be banned from entry into a civilized nation. ISOLATION IS THE ANSWER…..If you want to save your country from Muslim take over from within (DAWA) and want to protect the citizens…EVICT THEM NOW! Isolation will teach them that their Demonic, political Cult is NOT ACCEPTABLE and perhaps they will see the light! By taking them into our countries, we are enabling them to succeed in converting our laws to Sharia while they multiply and infiltrate all facets of society… WHAT SEEMS LIKE A TOUGH STAND is in essence MERCY! There is no such thing as a peaceful Muslim…do not be deceived by their pretense of being nice people.
