The plot also included a chemical gas attack. Respect it, islamophobes. Khaled Merhi, Abdul Merhi, Khaled Khayat and Mahmoud Khayat were waging holy war in accordance with Islamic texts and teachings
And Islamic terror cell was busted for an “elaborate” plot to blow up an international flight in Australia planned to smuggle their bomb on-board inside kitchen equipment — possibly a sausage maker. Cops believe the two jihadi father-and-son duos schemed to stuff explosive material inside the culinary gear then take it on a flight from Sydney to the Middle East, the Daily Telegraph reported. Police seized a meat grinder — along with a sausage-making attachment — in a series of dramatic raids across five homes. They also found bomb-making material “ready to go,” and took handwritten notes, two phones, an iPad, two cell phone SIM packs and car registration and insurance papers, the paper reports.
It’s also possible the men intended to gas the plane passengers — several sources told The Australian that the device found would have emitted a toxic, sulphur-based gas to knock out everyone on board.

Australian man found guilty in plane bomb plot involving meat grinder
By Reuters, May 1, 2019 | 2:10pm | Updated
MELBOURNE — An Australian court on Wednesday found a man guilty of plotting to blow up an Etihad Airways flight out of Sydney at the behest of the Islamic State militant group by hiding a bomb in the luggage of his brother.
Police had accused the man, Khaled Khayat, and another brother, Mahmoud Khayat, of planning two terrorist attacks that also included a chemical gas attack on the flight to Abu Dhabi in July 2017, police said.
The third brother was unaware that he was carrying a bomb, disguised as a meat mincer, in his luggage, as he tried to check in at the airport, police said.
But the device was taken out of his luggage when it was deemed too heavy and the bomb never made it past airport security.
Khaled and Mahmoud Khayat were arrested weeks later after a series of raids in Sydney.
“The jury this afternoon returned a guilty verdict for Khaled and is still deliberating in respect of Mahmoud,” a spokeswoman for the New South Wales Supreme Court said.
Police had alleged that high-grade military explosives used to make the bomb were sent by air cargo from Turkey as part of a plot “inspired and directed” by the Islamic State.
Khaled’s sentencing hearing has been set for July 26. The charges carry a maximum punishment of life in prison.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said in November that the likelihood of a terror attack in Australia remained at the “probable” level, after a fatal stabbing in Melbourne that police said was inspired by the Islamic State.

Thank God our travels days are over. I’d be horrified to see Mohammad as the pilot as I boarded.
I doubt that I’d continue to my seat.

I wonder if it’s possible to determine who your flight crew will be for a given flight before boarding?

I have to run the risk, but will avoid Muslim airlines or airline companies like Qantas has deals with them? If I book Qantas I want Australian all the way to Europe and try to avoid stopover in Dubai.

If I have the choice I’ll only fly El Al at this point because who knows how many f’ing muslum pilots are on the flight crews or maintenance crews of other airlines?

Speaking of Muslims… whatever would we do without IIhan Omar?
She is Obama in a hijab! No wonder Obama encourages her.
Ilhan Omar: America “Is Not Going To Be The Country Of White People”
5/1/19
….
Following the synagogue shootings in California last week, Minnesota jihad Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) asserted on Tuesday that America “is not going to be the country of white people.”
…
“At this moment, the occupant of the White House and his allies are doing everything that they can to distance themselves and misinform the public from the monsters that they created that is [sic] terrorizing the Jewish community and the Muslim community,”
“Because when we are talking about anti-Semitism we must also talk about Islamophobia. It is two sides to the same coin of bigotry.” “Just this week, when we’ve had the attack in California on a synagogue, it is the same person who is accused of attempting to bomb a mosque. So I can’t ever speak of Islamophobia and fight for Muslims if I am not willing to fight against anti-Semitism. We collectively need to make sure that we are dismantling all systems of oppression.”
“We are collectively saying your vile attacks, your demented views are not welcome here,” the Minnesota Democrat said Tuesday at a rally outside the US Capitol. “This is not going to be the country of the xenophobics. This is not going to be the country of the white people. This is not going to be the country of the few. This is going to be the country of the many.”
“When this occupant of the White House chooses to attack me, we know — we know — that that attack isn’t for Ilhan,” Omar said. “That attack is the continuation of the attacks that he has leveled against women, against people of color, against immigrants, against refugees and certainly against Muslims.”

Left wingers are painting right wingers as Nazis; left’s false flag by dressing up a few Antifa members as Nazis to attack innocent people and blame it on all right wingers.

One of the greatest deceptions floating around is the idea that the terrorists are just a small minority and most Muslims are not a threat to us. This is an unproven claim and a fallacy bandied about like it’s a fact.
In reality when Muslims are polled it’s been shown that the vast majority of them hold much the same views as the so-called radicals, so even if most don’t get involved in terrorism they strongly support what the jihadists are doing.
However the key point I’m making is that despite their small numbers, they can cause mass casualties as 9/11 proved. It took only 19 Muslims to kill nearly 3,000 innocents using modern technology.
Muslims have already been caught trying to poison our water, small terror cells have killed vast numbers of people like in Sri Lanka or Bataclan in Paris or Pulse nightclub in Orlando.
So the only reasonable thing to do is to treat every Muslim as a potential terrorist because they won’t turn their fellow Muslims in. We are not taking this conflict seriously enough.
Our leaders sit on their hands either in apathy or in fear of the next attack. This is not good enough. We cannot wait around till Muslims slaughter millions of us dozens at a time. We need a public debate about Islam and discuss deporting Muslims to save ourselves from these wackos.

I wonder how much mass mayhem will have gto occur before your suggestions are adopted? I fear the time is approaching when one or a group of these fanatics will cause a disaster that will dwarf 9/11. Will That Be enough to force our leaders to round them up,intern them and then deport the whole cult? I doubt it!
