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

UK: Jihad attacks against tourists cause collapse of oldest British airline

Oct 3, 2017 7:23 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The sudden closure of one of Britain’s oldest airlines has been blamed on terror attacks against tourists and political instability in key holiday destinations, which the carrier boss said had severely damaged the market for flights.

Order, peace, freedom and security were not long ago taken for granted by British citizens and people all over the West, until their trusted leaders decided to pose as welcoming and caring enough to fling open the doors to unvetted Muslim migration at the expense of their citizenry. They flung the borders open so wide that anyone could enter, no matter how dangerous and destructive, and then had the effrontery to call those who questioned their suicidal immigration policies “xenophobic” and “bigoted.”

The airline is not the only area of the European tourist trade that terrorism has made an impact upon. Breitbart London has reported through 2017 on how tourist numbers to Paris have collapsed following years of Islamist terror attacks in the city.

The human carnage, destroyed lives and the terror cast into the hearts of disbelievers by jihad attacks is also leading to the general weakening of Western nations, as well as a loss of personal freedom as the West increasingly accepts sharia prohibitions of criticism of Islam.

“Collapse of British Airline Blamed on Islamist Terror Attacks Against Western Tourists”, Breitbart, October 2, 2017:

The sudden closure of one of Britain’s oldest airlines has been blamed on terror attacks against tourists and political instability in key holiday destinations, which the carrier boss said had severely damaged the market for flights.

Writing to staff on Monday as the airline grounded all planes and cancelled tens of thousands of bookings, Monarch boss Andrew Swaffield explained: “The root cause is the closure, due to terrorism, of Sharm-El- Sheikh and Tunisia and the decimation of Turkey.”

Sharm-El-Sheikh was the site of a terror attack in 2015, when a Russian airliner returning holidaymakers from the Egyptian resort was downed by a terror bomb smuggled onto the aircraft, killing 224. The Islamic State claimed responsibility.

Tunisia was also targeted in 2015, when a gunman in Sousse (pictured above) killed 38 Western beachgoers — including 30 British citizens — and wounded 39.

Swaffield said that Turkey, another important foreign market for Monarch, suffered a downturn after the 2016 coup attempt which was followed by a wave of government repression. Istanbul airport was also subject to a mass-casualty suicide bombing in 2016, and a nightclub mass shooting in the same city followed just months later.

Monarch previously operated large numbers of flights to Sharm-El-Sheikh in Egypt, Tunisia, and Turkey, but despite attempting to move downmarket to keep afloat after the events it was unable to return to profitability.

The British government is now working to bring home 110,000 Brits who had flown abroad with Monarch before it ceased trading, and are now unable to use their return tickets.

The airline is not the only area of the European tourist trade that terrorism has made an impact upon. Breitbart London has reported through 2017 on how tourist numbers to Paris have collapsed following years of Islamist terror attacks in the city…

    Who cares, Europe soon will have bigger problem than some airline closure.

      Europe going bankrupt due to Jihad is a major part of Jihad itself.

        Muslims are the first benefactors of the welfare system in England and they are so stupid that they destroy the economy, the institutions and all. The welfare system will be no more because of them. The muslims want the benefits but destroy all possibilities.

          Islam is a parasitical organism when the host dies it moves on to the next host. Hence all Moslem lead countries are declining host sending out their poisonous spores { fake refugees } to enter and consume the host country. When no host can be found{nonIslamic people and cultures} the spores turn on each other to compete for crumbs of the declining dead body of the host country. The parasitical organism can not create anything on its own, to feed its life force to stay alive, it needs to project the need of evil on the “other”. To steal from the” other”, rape the” other”, blame the “other” for all its short comings and failures .

    i am not a anything goes capitalist, but I have long noted that where there is a lack of political freedom and a lack of freedom of conscience ; there is also a decline in commerce. It seems that democracy, religious freedom and economic prosperity go hand in hand.

      True–this is also why Dar-al-Islam, despite its unearned oil wealth–is over all such an economic basket case.

    Back in the years of the first invasion of Europe by Islam, trade shipping goods on the Mediterranean sea ground to a halt ushering in the dark ages. Jihad still being used to kill the Western way of life and freedom.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 3, 2017 at 8:47 pm

      Yes–there were other factors, but the major reason for the dark ages was the Muslim conquest of North Africa and crushing of free trade in the Mediterranean sea.

    Well that’s the second airline they’ve brought down. Remember PanAm anyone?

    • Bev says

      Oct 3, 2017 at 9:38 am

      I do. My family and I took the last ever PanAm flight out of Frankfurt Germany.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 3, 2017 at 8:50 pm

      Mark, did Islam in some way bring down PanAm? I remember their declaring bankruptcy, but know little of the cause.

      • J_not_a says

        Oct 4, 2017 at 12:25 am

        Pan Am flight 103 from Frankfurt blown up just befor reaching Lockerbie Scotland in December 21, 1988 killing all 259 on board by Libyan terrorists, plus two Japanese baggage handlers originating from the same flight.

        • Gaijin says

          Oct 4, 2017 at 2:41 pm

          .
          The two Japanese baggage handlers were killed at Narita by
          a bomb offloaded from CP003 Vancouver Narita. The bomb
          was supposed to transit to Air India flight to Delhi but the CP flight
          being late the bomb exploded in the luggage transit terminal
          at the airport. See the story of AI182 which blew up over Ireland and was
          part of a double plot by Sikh terrorists.

          Oct 4, 2017 at 9:58 pm

          I know this, J_not_a–horrible. I wondered if Mark had any more information on Islam bankrupting Pan Am.

  5. mortimer says

    Oct 3, 2017 at 9:03 am

    Someone who knows how, should do an analysis of the ‘COST OF ISLAM’ to the world in terms of loss of productivity, added policing, loss of trade and other factors.

    Islam stopped all trade on the Mediterranean, thus causing the collapse of commerce and intellectual pursuits that was the Dark Ages.

    Islam is an EXTINGUISHER.

    • Raja says

      Oct 3, 2017 at 9:52 am

      Mortimer,

      Good common sense comment not commonly available.Left doesn’t care about the economic loss as they are only interested in power. Actually if you have to balance globalization with cost of Islam, the cost of Islam FAR outweighs globalization. The branding of West has gone to dogs.Who will educate the political class and the man on the street?

  6. Santa Voorhees says

    Maybe our leaders will finally wake up when tourism in Europe totally collapses.

    After that, I bet that some leftists will have the nerve to say “This way you are letting them win, you must not be scared etc…”

    Bullshit! It is leftists with their suicidal policies that are letting them in to begin with!

    Forget the fate of the airline, the real threat to worry about is the collapse of Britain itself.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 3, 2017 at 8:56 pm

      This may well be presaging just that, APF.

    • J_not_a says

      Oct 4, 2017 at 12:29 am

      These types of occurances all play a part of that. It’s no one big thing, it’s the accumulation of thousands of little things, the straw that broke the camel’s back is likely going to play out. Remember what started WW1.

    Guess this is a taste of the benefits of the MSM’s diversity and multiculturalism as part of their pet theme globalization
    Of course, diversity and multiculturalism also requires a lack of xenophobism and Islamohobia..

    UK: Jihad attacks against tourists cause collapse of oldest British airline
    …………….

    I am sorry to hear this–but I am not surprised.

    The main purpose of Jihad is terror and ultimately surrender to Islam–but crushing economic factors that weaken us is a close second.

    Osama bin Laden mentioned economic Jihad as a major goal of 9/11. They didn’t hit the World Trade Center for nothing.

    I hope we do not see many companies following Monarch Airlines.

    The collapse of the former western normalcy has only just begun. As time goes by we will see bannings of items once considered a part of everyday life in the west, in the interest of safety and or security. We will witness drastic changes in all manner of things that were once considered part of the normal routine, behavior and culture of western civilization. There really is no end to the list of stuff that muslims ideology cannot affect in a bad way. In time, everything in the west will become unrecognizable from the past. Did the idiots in charge really think that things would just continue along as they were before? In the future survivors will need a Nuremberg type of process to punish the traitors of western civilization. And I really hope the traitors get everything that they have earned, and more.

    All of this can be prevented it is still not too late but only if masses of westerners stop following along with the leftist so-called leaders that westerners have today.
