Glasgow Airport will soon be holding an “open day for minorities,” it has been announced — but this begs the simple question: why?
The liberal-left establishment tells us time and time again that “everyone is the same” and that any attempt to differentiate on the basis of origin, belief, intelligence (or in fact anything at all) is “evil.”
So why do the Glasgow Airport authorities feel the need to hold an “open day for minorities?”
The answer is twofold.
Firstly, they have come under pressure from a distinctly non-Scottish Member of the Scottish Parliament who rejoices in the name Humza Yousaf.
Mr Yousaf, who has managed to convince the SNP that he is somehow “Scottish,” announced recently that the airport security staff at Glasgow airport ask Muslims “awkward questions.”
This might, of course, be directly related to the fact that Muslims tried to blow up Glasgow airport in 2007. (But to even think such a thing could be presumptuous, or even worse, ‘prejudiced’).
According to Mr MacYousaf, a number of “folk” (his folk, no doubt) raised the issue of “awkward questions” at Glasgow airport with him during the recent Scottish Parliament elections.
“People have been stopped four or five times and asked really awkward questions like: How many times a day do you pray? What mosque do you go to? Does your wife wear a headscarf?” Mr MacYousaf said.
According to reports, Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill and Scotland’s head of counter-terrorism Assistant Chief Constable Colin McCashey will both attend the meeting with Mr MacYousaf and other “folk.”
A news report on the incident revealed that these sorts of meetings are apparently a regular thing.
A BAA Glasgow spokesman was quoted as saying that his company has “good relations with ethnic minority groups who we meet with on a regular basis, and we will help facilitate an open day to explain the procedures involved in the security screening process.”
That’s good to know.
According to that well-known purveyor of truth and light, the Guardian newspaper, nonwhites are 42 times more likely to be stopped under Schedule 7 checks than whites in UK airports.
Now what on earth could be the reason for that?
The second answer to the original “why” question can be found in official statistics, issued by the Home Office.
According to the October 2010 Operation of police powers under the Terrorism Act 2000 and subsequent legislation: Arrests, outcomes and stops & searches Great Britain 2009/10 report issued by the Home Office (and which can be found here), there were 173 terrorism arrests in 2009/2010.
This equates to one every two days.
In total, the report said, there have been 1,834 terrorism arrests since 11 September 2001. As of 31 March 2010, there were 126 terrorist prisoners in Great Britain, the report continued.
“In total 102 of these were terrorism related (including five prisoners convicted before the introduction of the Terrorism Act 2000). Excluding these five historic cases, 67 of the 97 terrorist prisoners were either remanded or convicted under terrorism legislation, 20 were terrorism related offences not under terrorism legislation and a further 10 were deportations and extraditions,” the report stated.
The report then moved on to the ethnic composition of these terrorists.
“Forty nine of the 102 prisoners in Great Britain remanded or convicted for terrorism related offences were of Asian ethnic origin. Additionally 20 were of Black ethnic origin. Ethnicity recorded here is based upon self-declaration by prisoners.
“Seventy-six per cent of terrorist/extremist prisoners in Great Britain were recorded as UK nationals, with 13 per cent of African nationality, four per cent of European nationality, four per cent of Middle Eastern nationality and two per cent of Asian nationality.
“Nationality was spread over 19 countries with the highest after the UK being Somalia and Ethiopia, accounting for only four prisoners each.”
Finally, the report came to the burning issue of religion.
“Almost all (87%) terrorist related prisoners classified themselves as Muslim. For the 24 domestic extremists/separatists, four classified themselves as Buddhist, and 12 gave no religion or described themselves as agnostic.”
It is therefore, completely unnecessary for the security officials at Glasgow airport, or anywhere else, to be apologetic and have to hold “emergency meetings” with Mr MacYousaf or his “folk.”
The statistics show very clearly that while not all Muslims are terrorists, the vast majority of terrorists are Muslim.
Security measures based on this fact are not “discriminatory” but just plain straight common sense.
Common sense, however, appears to be in short supply amongst the intimidated sheep who make up the white establishment.

While we’re in Glasgow, may I direct us to an article posted on a patriotic blog:
On March 15 2004 in Glagow, Kriss Donald, aged fifteen, was kidnapped by a Muslim gang in a stolen car. While being driven on a 200 hundred mile route he begged for mercy and cried for his mother. He was savagely beaten, tortured and horribly mutilated, had his tongue cut off and his eyes gouged out – all before he was stabbed, then finally castrated, doused in petrol and left on a footpath to burn.
When his body was found it was discovered that he had attempted to crawl away before dying.
–
By contrast, Steven Lawrence was stabbed once by ‘persons unknown’.
Glad to see Andrew Brons is talking some sense! It is about time British people woke up to what is happening to the country by these Liberal nutters!
Open day for minorities….mmm,
would that include the English?
