Where Were the ‘Good Muslims’ on Flight FZ1073?

As Pauline Hanson said, we’re constantly finger-wagged about the ‘good Muslims’: so, where are they? They were certainly in short supply on Flydubai flight FZ1073. Both in the cockpit and the cabin.

As we’re seeing in more and more workplaces these days, the Muslim co-pilot demanded a special dispensation to skive off and pray. Then, when the plane’s captain turned his back, the Muslim attacked him with the plane’s crash axe. Luckily the heroic Captain Smit Machchhar managed to trigger the cockpit door release, despite being seriously wounded. What followed after the Muslim co-pilot, who was trying to crash the plane full of mostly Jews in a terror attack, was subdued by heroic passengers was in some ways even more disturbing.

The crew of the hijacked Flydubai plane shockingly clashed with heroic Israeli passengers who subdued the ax-wielding co-pilot after he attacked the pilot – demanding he be freed, two men who helped secure the terror suspect told the Post in exclusive interviews […]

A power play ensued with the crewmembers insisting that they were in charge of the plane and needed to remain alone in the area directly in front of the cockpit […]

The Israelis, fearing the crew could be involved in the pilot’s plot, ordered the stewards to leave the cockpit area and to take seats in the middle of the plane […]

“We didn’t know what to think, we were in a suspicious mode for every steward.”

This begs the question: should we all be in suspicious mode for every Muslim steward, pilot, co-pilot or any other Muslim in a critical position? Lest the reader dismiss this as ‘Islamophobic’ paranoia, bear in mind the well-attested evidence that Muslims in healthcare are openly bragging that they’d kill Jews under their care. Not just the two nurses literally caught on camera boasting about it, but a rogue’s gallery of doctors suspended or reprimanded over antisemitic rhetoric. Some Sydney hospitals had to change the names of the Jewish Australian victims of the Bondi massacre to protect them from their own staff. Many Jewish Australians have testified to the hostility and abuse they suffer from Muslim staff in healthcare.

Meanwhile, while New Zealand was quick to play up Captain Smit’s connection to their country, Australia has its own connection to the incident… and not in a good way.

Officials investigating a Flydubai co-pilot on a plane bound for Israel who stabbed his captain and apparently tried to hijack the flight are now examining whether he had been recruited in advance and joined the airline with the specific intent of future terror.

The suspect, an Omani citizen who was transferred from Saudi Arabia to the United Arab Emirates on Friday (AEST) for further questioning, discussed killing Jews online after being radicalised by extremist preachers […]

“His social media accounts (say) clearly that he has been radicalised into jihadist ideology. He talks about killing Jews,” [an Israeli official] added.

He sounds like a Bankstown Muslim nurse. The question that now has to be asked is, was he radicalised by extremist preachers in the mosques and Islamic centres of Western Sydney? He certainly wouldn’t be the first: not just the perpetrators of the Bondi terror attack, but the perpetrators of the 90 per cent of terror attacks and plots in Australia in the past quarter-century, not to mention the hordes of jihadis and ‘ISIS brides’ who flocked to the Islamic State caliphate (only to get hand-waved back into Australia by the Albanese government).

It now emerges that the would-be mass murderer, Hamam Al-Hammami, spent two years at RMIT University, ostensibly studying mechanical engineering (a striking preponderance of jihadis are engineering students), though he failed to complete the degree. In a rather damp, bureaucratic email to staff, the acting vice-chancellor Catherine Itsiopoulos confirmed the institution is currently grovelling before the Victorian Joint Counter Terrorism Team.

“I want to provide a confidential update on a matter that you may have read about in the media over the weekend related to a former student and the Flydubai flight incident,” Professor Itsiopoulos wrote in the internal email obtained by the Australian. “The individual was enrolled at RMIT between 2015 and 2017 and did not successfully complete any undergraduate qualification with RMIT.”

The sheer incompetence – or perhaps the wilful negligence – required to allow a man already barred from flying in his own country to step into the cockpit of a commercial airliner is staggering. Even after being caught with extremist materials, the international aviation industry apparently decided he was fit to pilot civilians. One wonders how much our own universities are little more than finishing schools for the next generation of jihadists, offering a cosy Australian education before they jet off to finish their ‘training’ with a crash axe.

The details of his plan to plunge a metal tube full of souls into Tel Aviv, crowded with Sukkot holidaymakers, are chilling, yet entirely predictable given the ideology he espoused. While our authorities stay tight-lipped, preferring the silence of the complicit, one has to ask why the red flags weren’t screaming in neon.

We are told there is ‘no security threat’ from Muslims, yet the reality is that the threat is embedded in our very demographic and cultural fabric. Until we stop importing those who hold our civilisation in contempt, we are simply waiting for the next cockpit door to be breached.

And remember: just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.
