In any list of ethnic calssification, you will not find "Islam". It is not an inherently racial issue. However, it is true that Islamic terrorism is a predominant risk at this time. Islamic people are overwhelmingly of a specific ethnic origin so that is a practical consideration that needs to be accepted by those who may be affected in the interests of mininimising risks to the public. No fan of O'Leary but in this case he's making sense, identify the threat and deal with it.

I have to confess I actually chortled at this bit...

Mr O'Leary, who has worked for Ryanair for 30 years, also used the interview to lament planning rules requiring the company to provide facilities for disabled staff and referred to obese passengers as "monsters" who "may need to buy two seats".

Many of us said exactly the same when they started these ridiculous security checks at airports.

How many suicide bombers take their families with them on a bombing mission?

I've seen dim-witted security staff wasting time giving elderly white people a real going over, when much more likely looking characters get whisked through.
Some of the security staff look more suspicious than the people they're frisking.
A lot more in fact.

How the real culprits must laugh when they see people being given the full treatment whose chances of being a bomber are zero.
I was on a plane once, and an elderly bloke was moaning to me about how his wife was treated like a criminal because they found some make up cream in her hand luggage.
He said they took her to a side room to interview her and went through all her stuff.

Where do they find these airport security staff from?

Most of them don't appear to have a shred of common sense.

He is merely stating the ****ing truth. Pathetically, we are now in a post-truth society where SJW zealots scream down anyone who says obviously true things, while at the same time expending huge amounts of energy saying Trump doesn't tell it, when they adamantly oppress it.

Perhaps they need reminded that time and time again over the last while it's been brought up that the police and other authorities let asian r*pe gangs roam free across swathes of England despite absolutely overwhelming evidence as they were scared that responding to the facts might be "profiling". It's not reacting to the ****ing obvious that would get the usual reaction from the left wing tools that let them get away with it.

It could make you weep. Perhaps the SJWs could go to the graves of some of the young women dead as a result of these gangs, and ponder their own relation with facts, and truth, and "profiling".

Perhaps the NHS should spend a lot of money testing women for testicular cancer as we must ignore correlations between any "identity" group and outcome just in case it offends anyone.

I can still remember vividly in the days of IRA bombings in London being told to pay particular attention to suspicious looking individuals with packages esp those with a strong Irish accent. But, now saying something similar is not politically correct maybe even unlawfully and could be prosecuted for discrimination and creating possible racial tension.

The idea of targeting the most likely perpetrators has become 2nd to political correctness as has been demonstrated in the grooming of young white vulnerable girls by the despicable sicko Pakistani mini-cab drivers and their associates in northern towns of the UK.

We await the campaign from the Guardian to stop any suggestion men might be more likely to kill their partners as that's gender profiling and Manophobic, and any statistics that say it's the case must be suppressed.

That sound I'm hearing, is it hypocrisy or silence.

Well said Mr O'Leary for speaking the truth....patently obvious to everyone with a brain bigger than an amoeba that your bomber/terrorist is either going to be a bloke with a black bushy beard or  dressed as ,what the prime minister referred to , a postbox.

I think I may be ridiculed or labelled an idiot or possibly a racist for what I'm about to ask. Anyway, here goes. Does an Islamic terrorist need to have facial hair to commit a terrorist crime? Those who'd had or it was a merely a coincident.

The answer is a simple one to get away from accusations of racism - offer a complimentary pork sandwich at check in.. if you refuse then into the extra security check in line you go. Hard luck on vegetarians but it cuts down on profiling based on appearance which seems to be the main issue people have with it. The question that needs to be asked ... is someone at higher risk of committing a terrorism act that believes everyone that doesn't follow their cult is destined for hell fire and paradise awaits those that follow the prophets teachings with his 6 year old wife Aisha ? Skin colour has nothing to do with it , mindset has everything to do with risk. If muslims feel " unduly persecuted " maybe they should understand why many are uncomfortable with people believing in such dark age claptrap living their lives according to it in 2020 and rethink their lifestyle choices which are incompatible with any civilised society.

Any easily offended person can always fly with another airline which will make Ryanair more popular and quicker check-in should the offended community choose to boycott. A result for others.
