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

Was the Muslim Migrant Airplane Mechanic Who Sabotaged a Plane Really Just a Disgruntled Union Man?

Sep 24, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media:

Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani, a Muslim migrant from Iraq who up until recently was a plane mechanic for American Airlines at Miami International Airport (MIA), was, he said, so proud to be a Union Man that he tried to murder 150 people because of a union dispute. That was his initial story, anyway, and everyone bought it – after all, who ever heard of a Muslim being involved in trying to sabotage aircraft for any other reason?

Alani was arrested “on a sabotage charge accusing him of disabling a navigation system on a flight with 150 people aboard before it was scheduled to take off from Miami International Airport earlier this summer.” He explained that he did this because he was “upset” over the ongoing impasse between his mechanics’ union and American Airlines, which has “affected him financially.”

As always, there was absolutely nothing, nothing whatsoever, for members of the public to be concerned about here. Alani stated “that his intention was not to cause harm to the aircraft or its passengers.” Oh good. All he wanted to do was “cause a delay or have the flight canceled in anticipation of obtaining overtime work.”

Well, that’s reasonable. Let’s not rush to judgment here. After all, who among us hasn’t exposed hundreds of people to the risk of a terrifying, fiery death in order to get some overtime hours?

There is much more. Read the rest here.

    ………………

    Obviously not, given how much of his Islamic motivation eventually came out.

    And while I have some issues with unions, most union employees are proud of their work, and even more to the point, would *never consider* harming their company’s customers, no matter how disgruntled they might be.

      He was upset at the us government sabotaging his country of origin. This sounds like a “chickens coming home to roost” scenario. What part of we are at war with infidels and occupiers dont these kaffirs understand?? And this is a war america will lose. If the whole world hates your government and military over there, they will hate you even more if they are here…get the point and the real truth!

        ………………………..

        Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alan never once mentioned this as a motive–first he claimed that he was disgruntled over union talks, then it came out that he was quoting Islamic texts about harming Infidels.

        The idea that concerns over US governmental actions are best addressed by mass murdering Infidels on commercial flights is grotesque, in any case.

        More:

        ………………………..

        *Of course* Muslims are at war with all Infidels–and considers us “occupiers” for not ceding our civilized lands to Muslims. If this were all about “occupation”, then how would Sabri S. explain 9/11? The truth is that Muslims have been at war with all non-Muslims for the past 1400 years.

        ………………………..

        Sabri S. apparently believes that the whole world outside the US is Muslim–but he is wrong. In fact, most people globally are *not* Muslim.

        And this last just proves that we should not allow Muslims to flood into our civilized lands.

    I guess a terrorism charge carries a longer sentence.

      An ‘unionized’ muhamadan?
      I thought the only union acceptable would be the ‘ummah’ with al-lah as leader of their grievances.
      It’s alright to be upset, since mohamet invented the first horse-propelled flight to the moon and back.

    Disgruntled Union Man Bull

    Worth reading the rest of RS’s article if you need more convincing.

    Sure, just disgruntled. He might have been gruntled, but he is also a moslim with the islam mission, so he became disgruntled at the offensive union guys not acting fast enough. islam is a cause of disgruntling, teaching moslims to be violent and act out their hatreds..

    As much disgruntled as what a judge recently ruled in the case of the moslim who wanted Ms. Geller dead., just “role-playing” at being a terrorist.
    https://thewashingtonstandard.com/pamela-gellers-isis-beheading-plotters-conviction-overturned-by-obama-appointed-judge/

    moslim terror actions have more causes than headaches….disgruntled, role-playing, mental illness, unemployment, lonely, no girl friend, language and culture differences… But never their core belief about how to act and conduct themselves in society, or even in their homes with their families.

    Why is the default position of Muslims, wreaking violence on their hosts?

    • Keys says

      Sep 24, 2019 at 10:30 pm

      Some hosts harbor parasites.

      The Koran requires the “best of peoples” to treat the dirty kaffirs harshly and make them feel subdued, and in some circumstances to kill them.

    Come on who ever heard of a Muslim commiting an act of terrorism
    Our political betters keep telling us it’s a religion if pease

    Not two mutually exclusive choices – he could be disgruntled and decided to “heal his heart” by murdering infidels, as per 9:14…

    9:14 – Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people.

    They see us as idiots, and maybe we are for ever trusting a muslim.
