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

UK: Muslim on terror watchlist gets job at Heathrow Airport, has access to runway

Feb 11, 2018 10:35 am By Robert Spencer

“Airport bosses allegedly failed to carry out a full background check…The sex offender even took a picture of a plane from the runway to prove how close he got to the aircraft….A spokesman for SM Global Consultancy told the People all security procedures set by Heathrow Airport and the Civil Aviation Agency had been followed.”

If that’s true, then clearly you have some magnificent procedures in place there, lads! Apparently they contain strict instructions not to perform background checks on Muslim applicants — because that would be “Islamophobic.”

Britain is, as we all know, finished.

“Terror suspect and career criminal with 17 ­aliases ‘is able to get a job at Heathrow Airport where he had access to runway’ in alarming security breach,” by Keiran Southern, Mailonline, February 10, 2018 (thanks to Mick):

A terror suspect and sex offender with 17 aliases has reportedly been working at Britain’s busiest airport in an alarming security breach.

Career criminal Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamud is said to be on an official terror watchlist but reportedly had access to Heathrow’s runway.

Mohamud, 31, has a criminal record stretching back 11 years including robbery, assault, money laundering and threats to kill.

But airport bosses allegedly failed to carry out a full background check and he was handed a security pass and started work as a kitchen porter in a first-class lounge, according to the Sunday People.

A security source told the paper: ‘How can somebody with a criminal past like this slip through the net?

‘Even if he hadn’t been a terror suspect his convictions should have meant he wasn’t allowed anywhere near a plane – let alone our busiest airport.’

Mohamud is said to be known to the security services and has been interviewed five times in the past two years by anti-terror officers, it is claimed.

He reportedly had two terror charges – relating to alleged hoaxes involving a harmful substance and a bomb – dropped due to insufficient evidence.

He was convicted of sexual assault in 2015 and ordered to sign the sex offenders register for 10 years and in total has served five years in prison.

Mohamud has been interviewed by Prevent, the Government’s anti-radicalisation programme, but he contacted a newspaper this week telling them he had been offered a job at an airport.

He boasted no background checks were made and claimed he wanted to expose a security loophole.

The sex offender even took a picture of a plane from the runway to prove how close he got to the aircraft.

It emerged he had lied about his lengthy criminal record to recruiters and took up the job through the SM Global Consultancy Ltd agency on Monday.

On Tuesday he arrived at Heathrow and began work at the business and first-class lounge.

Frighteningly, he spent five days at the airport and had airside access in Terminal 3.

Around 17.7 million passengers pass through the terminal on 89,000 flights each year.

No full background check was carried out before he arrived at the airport and he could have gone undetected for up to a month because a full criminal record check through the Disclosure and Barring Service search could have taken four weeks.

His security pass was revoked when airport bosses were alerted to the breach and Mohamed was sacked.

A spokesman for SM Global Consultancy told the People all security procedures set by Heathrow Airport and the Civil Aviation Agency had been followed….

      Utter madness that this moslem Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamud got a job at an airport, Stupid stupid people stop letting barbarians into your home(lands) Stop political correctness!

      How come the “religion of peace” is always at war???

      There’s nothing that unifies us more than continually focusing on our differences!

        “How come the “religion of peace” is always at war???” The answer is in their Holy Writ: The world consists of 2 camps: the House of War and the House of Peace (Islam). It is incumbent on Muslims to war against Non-Muslims until all the world is under Muslim control and the Peace of Islam reigns unopposed.

        “How come the minority cause the majority of crime???” Again, the law of the kufar is irrelevant because it was created by Man. The only law that Islam recognizes is Sharia, created by Allah, and under Sharia, their behavior is perfectly acceptable. All other law may be ignored.

    That’s not safe at all! Hopefully, this event will cause the airports to do better background checks.

    I encourage anyone in Britain to write to newspaper editors about it, and contact airport authorities to push for better security.

      “Christian ‘bullied out of Heathrow airport job by Muslims’”

      • Anne Smith says

        Feb 12, 2018 at 6:01 am

        gravenimageis absolutely right. The Muslims exert a stronghold over employment at the airport and call can out their brothers on strikes if non Muslims are hired in place of Muslims. When I worked for BOAC many years ago we often had trouble with them and so the policy was to let them get on with it and hire all their families to avoid any strikes and keep the planes flying.

        • StellaSaidSo says

          Feb 12, 2018 at 6:13 am

          This is exactly how it works in every industry penetrated by Muslims. Put one in a position of authority, and soon you’ll be surrounded by them, and then you’ll be bullied by them.

    Sensible travelers, and I like to think of myself as one of these, make the wise decision to avoid connecting flights in Heathrow Airport. I travel to Europe fairly frequently, and always ensure that my flights land elsewhere. I am a dual citizen of Canada, and, after one hilarious visit to Ireland through Heathrow, I was informed by a customs official there – one clearly linguistically handicapped – with a serious vocabulary inventory, conveyed to me that he ( or the ‘rules’)would permit me to stay in the country in which I was born and raised – for three weeks. Such is the state of Britain presently.

  5. Mario Bernkopf says

    Feb 11, 2018 at 11:56 am

    We passengers have to take off belts and shoes at Heathrow to show how tight security is.

    Feb 11, 2018 at 12:19 pm

    The quality of the check may well be fine – it’s the sheer lunacy of allowing someone to start work BEFORE completing it, that absolutely boggles the imagination……as Basil Fawlty so eloquently expostulated: “What is the point ? Just what is the bl**dy point ???”

    But be fair here: Abdullahi Mohamud obviously (A) didn’t have any evil intentions, otherwise he’d have stayed schtum and followed through, and (B) as he’s done us a favour by high-lighting the criminal negligence of the authorities, he should be thanked and asked to confirm how he slipped through the net.

    (Ditto with the English computer-nerd who managed to hack into the Pentagon’s computer system from his Mum’s back-bedroom. He appears to have had no intentions of causing any harm, and doesn’t seem to have done any that I’ve read of.)

    Instead of throwing a childish tantrum and trying to lock him up for the rest of his life – (I understand that there’s no reciprocal arrangement that allows the British government to extradite US citizens….) – it would be far more sensible for the new administration to realise that they’ve had a narrow escape, and get him on board as a paid consultant to carry out regular system tests.)

    In a past life I supplied runway marking paints to airports, airfields etc all over the place, including Heathrow and Gatwick. This also included the American airbase at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk. Fortunately, I’m fairly well-intentioned…..

    Well that has convinced me never to fly into ANY of the London airports ever again.

    The armed police who can be seen all over the airport are obviously just eye candy to fool the travelling public into a false sense of security.

    Given that the airport authority are so incompetent as to hire a person with 17 aliases and criminal convictions, never mind that he is muslim, should tell us all that Heathrow and probably Gatwick airports are riddled with security threats that are integral to the airport itsel, and the public should avoid them like the plague until we are assured that they have removed those threats.

    • Sense and Sensibility says

      Feb 11, 2018 at 9:20 pm

      Pretty worrying, I agree. However, for those of us who live in London, there’s not much practical choice about using London airports when we need to fly.

      There’s a natural tendency for immigrants (of whatever sort, not only the “usual suspects”) to cluster in areas where others of similar origin/language/religion/whatever are already gathered. For immigrants who arrive with no money and no particular place to go (i.e. “refugees”, rather than migrant workers with a job waiting), ghetto areas therefore tend to develop close to their entry point … i.e. around airports.

      So when airports go hiring locally (typically for lower-paid jobs), who do you suppose they find available to hire in their local area? No excuse for not running proper checks, of course, but no surprise that airports end up with a lot of staff from dodgy countries.

      • Tom says

        Feb 12, 2018 at 10:37 am

        It’s not the number of people from “dodgy countries” that creates the security concern. It is the lack of security clearance checks and the hiring of known security risks that highlites the total incompetence of the airport authority.

        That magnifies the threat to travellers.

  10. CRUSADER says

    Feb 11, 2018 at 2:19 pm

    Notice how many Muslims work at Airport facilities and Rental Car places?

    Almost as if they are poised and positioned….in “ready posture” mode….

      Feb 11, 2018 at 4:21 pm

      Exactly, CRUSADER. They ARE ‘poised and positioned’.

      One of the first industries to be infiltrated by the stealth jihad was the transport industry, and airports in particular.

      All major airports have ‘sleepers’ amongst their employees.

  11. Undaunted says

    Feb 11, 2018 at 2:24 pm

    An excerpt from my book, the first paragraph a quote from Joe Dwinell as he explains how F Troop of the Massachusetts State Police, permitted the 9-11 attacks

    “Months before the horrific 9/11 attacks, lackadaisical state troopers specially assigned to protect Logan International Airport failed to act on tips that Middle Eastern men were casing security checkpoints armed with cameras, explosive new court documents allege. One of the suspected terrorists whom troopers could have cornered was later identified as al- Qaeda 9/11 leader Mohammed Atta, according to lawyers for a Boston woman who is suing over the loss of her son. The lawyers took depositions from an airline employee and other witnesses.

    F Troop purposefully decided very suspicious men, who turned out to be the ones who flew planes from Logan into the World Trade Center Towers, would not be investigated nor any action taken to identify them. F Troop could have stopped the 9-11 attackers out of Logan and perhaps could have prevented all the attacks if they’d simply done their jobs. Was it all of the Troop? Certainly not, but all it took was one guy. And that guy just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I hear all the time when things go wrong and there’s a meeting of some sort to try to right that wrong, it’s invariably said: We’re not here to point fingers or fix blame; we just need to figure out what went wrong and fix it. Well, when part of what went wrong was a stupid decision based on fear a/o incompetence, the person who made that decision needs to pay a price for it, especially if other people were hurt because of his or her failure.”

    So, we’re still at war, eh?

    The only thing that prevents these kinds of things from happening never happens. If nobody gets fired or at least demoted (smaller paycheck), then why would they feel the need to actually do their job? Nobody EVER gets fired, even when people die. I am sure their job description includes more than “employee must show up for work, most of the time”.

      Exactly. And yet that is precisely what we are doing. There are Muslims in our police forces, in our security industry, in our military. The UK gov’t is currently conducting a campaign to attract more Muslims into its army. In Sweden, police officers are resigning faster than they can be replaced. And when they are replaced, it’s with Muslims.

    They have Buraqs

    And explosives vests.
