Islamophobia outbreak in the UK: British Airways suspends flights to Cairo, citing risk of “aviation terror”

Jul 22, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is inconceivable! Tommy Robinson is safely in prison, so who on earth could be threatening British Airways flights? Surely the British government isn’t being so Islamophobic as to suggest that adherents of the Religion of Peace could be behind this!

“Citing ‘aviation terror’ risk, UK suspends Cairo flights,” by Michael Hechtman, New York Post, July 20, 2019:

Citing an unexplained “heightened risk of terrorism against aviation,’’ British Airways on Saturday suspended flights to Cairo for seven days….

The airlines abruptly stopped flights even as the planes were about to board, ABC News said Saturday.

Washington is not planning to follow suit, but US carriers are said to be monitoring the situation.

Britain also advised its citizens to cancel “all but essential travel’’ to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.

    Anyone traveling to Egypt’s Sinai peninsula is engaged in terrorism. That’s possibly the most lawless area of the planet. Where even armed soldiers fear to tread.

      Reasons to be in The Sinai:

      Rugged and starkly beautiful, the Sinai Peninsula has managed to capture imaginations throughout the centuries. The region has been coveted for its deep religious significance and its strategic position as a crossroads of empires: prophets and pilgrims, conquerors and exiles have all left their footprints on the sands here.

      SHARM EL SHEIKH

      Although you should dress conservatively and respect the local culture, Sharm el Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba and Taba are so influenced by tourism that local people are more accustomed to seeing people in (minimum) Western clothing so there is less staring at you if you do not want to adjust your clothing and also you will find alcohol available here.

      Sinai is the gateway to Egypt from Israel (Eilat) and Jordan (Aqaba). Many people who visit the Sinai fall in love with this piece of earth and keep coming back… Marhaba!

        Thank you, Crusader. Sharm El Sheikh and Deheb are truly fabulous, with an amazing coral reef just off the beach. It’s some of the best diving in the world. Some hotels in Sharm have piers over the reef; you can step outside your hotel, walk to the end of the pier, jump into the water, and swim/snorkel/dive next to a small cliff of undersea corals with amazing sea life of all sorts. Sharm and Deheb are both near the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula. The terrorists are in the north, in and around the town of Arish, and the Egyptian army continues to fight them there.

    Com’n, Britons, show them who’s boss here. Get on a plane, any plane, and fly to Cairo. Show them that you’re not Islamophobic to believe that your plane may be blown out of the sky.

    Islamic Terroristists ….
    (Is this a redundant term? Perhaps only an Islamophobe would think so….
    Islamophiles would say that term is an oxymoron, as Jumbo Shrimp or Smart Marine?)

    ….Islamic Terrorists can’t pull of terror as much as they think they can.
    It takes guts to carry it off, and some brains. Many terrorists have academic
    degrees and have already been through trials of adversity which they’ve overcome
    by being overcome by the Queer’an.

    But not all their plots of violence and mayhem come off or meet with success.
    Many fail or are foiled. Which makes you think that the current ticker for the
    number of terrorist strikes (35, 349 since 9/11, according to TheReligionofPeace)
    would be TWICE the figure — 70k or more !

    In this video the suspect falters in his shooting of a victim.
    Most likely a muzzie. It would be surprising if it isn’t.
    (2nd most likely, a drug dealer.)

    Either way, a real dreg of society!!!

    In the mid-1990s, while on active duty, I flew in the Cairo on my way to the Persian Gulf. Even then, Cairo was an underdeveloped and dangerous Middle Eastern city.

    I don’t know of any reason why someone would fly into Cairo unless they were ordered to…

    What could be more “Islamophobic” than thinking Jihad terrorism is a bad thing?

    According to the news here in Australia, British airways is not the only carrier to do this. A couple of other countries have done the same!

    What a mistake has British Airways made. Everyone knows it is the religion of peace!

    Robert Spencer, don’t jump to conclusions!
    Perhaps the British are worried about “aviation terror” from a Tommy Robinson sympathizer?

  12. Rob Nellist says

    All flights to the islamic world should be cancelled and all islamic airlines boycotted the civilised world should have nothing whatsoever to do with islam

      How dare you insult the religion of peace! Off with your head!
