British passengers refuse to get on plane until Muslims are removed

As reported in the Daily Mail: “British holidaymakers staged an unprecedented mutiny—refusing to allow their flight to take off until two men they feared were terrorists were forcibly removed.” Read the extraordinary story first, then continue reading here.

Now, were the two men terrorists? Probably not. But the passengers, bless their souls, for once in their lives were not behaving like Eloi. They were not going to take the chance of being blown up rather than appear to be illiberal. They were not going to deliver themselves passively into a situation where they had no control over their destiny, as Israelis did time after time in the mid 1990s when buses were being blown up in Jerusalem by Palestinian fiends who walked freely from the West Bank into Israel and boarded buses and turned 20 or 30 Israelis at a time into a cloud of body parts, yet the Israelis—inconceivably to me—kept boarding the buses and getting killed instead of demanding that something be done—instead of rebelling and refusing to live normally until the government do whatever needed to be done to protect them from this intolerable danger.

But now listen to the official voice of the Tory party in the matter, the shadow cabinet minister for Homeland Security, Patrick Mercer: “This is a victory for terrorists. These people on the flight have been terrorised into behaving irrationally. For those unfortunate two men to be victimised because of the colour of their skin is just nonsense.”

Leaving aside Mercer’s “colour of their skin” cheap shot, and his absurd liberal notion that for Westerners to clamp down on Muslims is a victory for Muslim terrorists, is what the passengers did really nonsense? When thousands of Muslims in Britain are potential or actual terrorists, when 24 percent of Muslims in Britain support the terrorists, and when most of the rest of the Muslims quietly go along with terrorism and fail to oppose it, is it really irrational to refuse to get on board a plane with suspicious looking Muslims?

The deeper message conveyed by the passengers’ mutiny is this: Muslims do not belong in the West in significant numbers, because as long as they live and move freely among us, we are not safe. On an instinctive level, the passengers on Monarch Airlines Airbus Flight ZB 613 from Malaga to Manchester were realizing this fundamental truth.

Indeed, they are a model for the rest of us. What they did on a small scale, we ultimately have the power to do on a large scale, mutinying and refusing to let our society function normally, until the government remove these hostile and dangerous aliens from our midst. How bad will things have to get, how much loss and damage will we have to sustain, before we exercise that power?
