Paul Sperry: Security Experts Warn That Islamists Pilots Present an "Insider Threat" to Air Safety

This is one of those "duh no shit really" reports, but bear in mind that the entire Islamocommunist-captured establishment denies this obvious fact, so it's critical that the obvious be reported and documented.

At Real Clear Investigations:

When the Federal Aviation Administration reinforced cockpit doors after the 9/11 hijackings, it turned flight decks into fortresses to lock out terrorists. But what if a terrorist is already inside?
That question has new urgency following the harrowing Sept. 30 attack aboard a FlyDubai flight in which a Muslim extremist (Islamist) pilot was forcefully stopped by a heroic pilot and brave passengers from crashing a plane bound for Israel.
Former aviation security officials say the FAA needs to reassess threats inside cockpits and the measures intended to counter them. They say this review is especially urgent because the agency has made insider threats to the cockpit more likely by recently forcing airlines to add a secondary barrier to the cockpit in the form of a metal gate on new planes.

Experts say the added security, while well-intentioned, could backfire following al-Qaeda's call last month for Islamist pilots to carry out more suicide attacks inside cockpits and for followers to infiltrate the ranks of pilots. Al-Qaeda has reestablished terror training camps in Afghanistan, along with recruiting and propaganda organs, echoing its pre-9/11 potency.

Don't worry, everyone! The Isamocommunist-captured establishment has decided that 9/11 never happened. It was all just a right-wing hallucination, so stop worrying about a dark "far right" fantasy and conspiracy theory, Racists.

Enhanced security measures designed to lock out threats could merely lock in an attacker....

Yeah, when the terrorist is in the cockpit already, beefing up the door just stops passengers from wresting him from the controls.

But we can't talk about the danger of Islamist pilots.

9/11 never happened, remember? Never forget means "Never mention again."

Also, the attempt to hijack a FlyDubai plane by an Islamist co-pilot didn't happen.

Aviation security experts also say airlines must do more to identify pilots who may hold extremist views or show signs of mental illness. At least two U.S.-based Islamist pilots have been suspended in the wake of the FlyDubai incident.
"Pilots who have openly espoused and supported terrorists should be grounded as unstable," said former airline executive Michael Boyd, president of Boyd Group International, an aviation consulting firm, in an interview with RealClearInvestigations. "Anybody who supports clear terrorism should be grounded; but of course, that gets muddy in the realm of free speech."

Meaning: They haven't been grounded already.

Weak vetting systems
Suicide by aircraft has long been a rare but concerning issue. Most documented cases have involved private planes, not commercial carriers. Mentally ill people -- including the German copilot who killed himself and 149 others on board when he locked the captain, who had gone to the bathroom, out of the cockpit and crashed a flight into the Alps in 2015 -- have long accounted for most cases. But experts say a disproportionate number of such tragedies involving major airliners have involved Muslim pilots, most of whom have expressed extremist views.
...
While non-Muslims historically have been responsible for some cases of suicide pilots intentionally downing major airliners, three of the four cases directly linked to terror have involved Islamist pilots (9/11 is not included because it was a hijacking).

And also: It simply never happened, Bigots.

Read the whole thing and weep.

It's not just that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

They want to repeat it. This is not "forgetting," this is just replaying the old playbook with the Islamocommunist-dominated government acting as co-conspirators to the coming slaughters.

9 Maybe I'm glad I'm staycationing for the holidays and not going anywhere. The skies, they not be so friendly.

If it's not the passengers pummeling you, masturbating next to you, or screaming about ghosts, it's your pilot wanting to commit Jihad. It's still crazy to me that the only reason that one plane didn't blow up with the terrorist pilot, was because the co-pilot had the brilliance to prop open the door so others could open it. Otherwise they would have all gone down.

10 I refuse to believe this.

Next thing you'll be telling me is that a three time criminal deportee can just pop on a domestic airline flight and try to storm the cockpit while claiming to have a bomb. And, the only permission he requires to fly is some Leftist judge releasing him on his own recognizance.

That's just ludicrous.

But, I've got to believe if they're can adherent to Ol' Mo's teachings that they've got to have a couple of screws loose. Esp, if they're living in America, where islam isn't mandatory.(Yet?)

Apparently the Edmunds Tucker Act, which punished Mormons for their religious beliefs, was UPHELD by the Supreme Court. The legislative branch finally got rid of it, but judicial precedent is still there. Second look at a rewrite of it, but for the modern theocracies actively taking root in the US?

(I say this as someone who hates that bill, and the destruction it caused to so many decent people. But America has proven in the past it hates theocracies, and it will take on the power of God to strike them down.)

The three major world-shaking "events" of the last quarter century have a lot in common.

9/11
The Mortgage Bubble Bursting
Covid

From cause to response, it gets a little scary the more you think about it.

In particular 9/11 starts looking materially worse in the context of what became known and even predictable American government involvement in the other two.

That didn't involve GPS spoofing. The terrorists hacked ATC and tweaked an incoming aircraft's actual altimeter (don't know how they did that) to show a different altitude on approach.

GPS spoofing involves broadcasting a signal that's stronger than the normal GPS signal to provide false data to receivers.

It's pretty wild stuff.

79 think that's a bridge too far. Gore would've outsourced foreign policy to Democrat "experts", like one Joesph Robinette Biden. Our response to 9/11 would be to convert Congress into a mosque, and also invent a special burqa where you could still sniff the woman's hair.

81 RealClearInvestigations. "Anybody who supports clear terrorism should be grounded; but of course, that gets muddy in the realm of free speech."

If they are flying their own plane they have all the free speech in the world.

Commercial and military pilots are being paid to fly somebody else’s plane and their rules apply.

If any pilot, no matter their religion, race, or gender, should be grounded permanently if they start mouthing off about supporting terrorism of any kind.

We do not allow mentally ill people to fly airplanes filled with people and violent ideation is, at the least, a symptom of mental illness in a professional.

The NYC building collapse is starting to look like a major failure on the part of the Mamdani Administration.

A @WNBC investigative journalist discovered that the city issued a stop-work order to the demolition team in March, noting the neighboring wall was in "poor condition with major deficiencies."

Rather than stabilizing the building before proceeding, the demolition company paid a $10K fine & the Dept. of Buildings issued a permit to continue demolition.

On Wednesday, the neighboring building came tumbling down, killing at least eight people, including two children.

Hours later, @NYCMayor Mamdani vowed "If there’s anyone or any entity operating in this city that bears responsibility for what happened, we will hold them fully accountable."

Let's see if that's actually true.

Posted by: Sandy Cocazio Ortez at November 13, 2026 03:58 PM (Z40qK)

There are a lot of Muslims in Russia, especially in Chechnya where Putin is close to his man there.

But Russia’s muslims are mainly pacified.

If Putin understood the threat of Islam he wouldn’t have continued allowing Russians to build Iran’s nuclear reactor for decades.

Vlad takes the European approach to Islam and the Middle East, he sees them as valuable and ignore the drawbacks hoping to be the last one eaten by the alligator.

Further, under Article IV, Section 11 of the Texas Constitution, the Governor must act upon the written recommendation of a majority of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. So she couldn't do it unilaterally even if it were a state conviction.

Would you say the Russians have been ‘friendly’ with Iran since about 1979?

I have no clue how much Russia helped Iran with their nuke program for twenty years, but they were there, and they were building, no matter how much Russia was stringing them along.

They are a convenient ally in an area where Russia had fewer allies after the fall of the Soviet Untion.

That was the one thing that annoyed the shit out of me in the otherwise excellent Top Gun: Maverick. Iranian goat-fuckers use Russian tech to totally jam the GPS on F-35s so the Navy has to use F-18s... which also use GPS... Then the air Swabbies get all terrified over the sexy-looking but klunky Russian Su-57s (of which less than 100 exist, none outside of Russia). The 57s (and Chinee J-20s) are so bad at stealth that the USAF had to bring back the 40 yr old F-117 as an aggressor aircraft to simulate them at Top Gun and Red Flag.

What a bunch of horseshit.
