Muslim Graffiti On U.S. Passenger Planes

Since February, Muslim graffiti has been found on underbellies of dozens of U.S. airplanes. These messages in Arabic writing have been found on several Southwest Airlines jets.

The graffiti, which began appearing on 737-model planes, has been found more often in recent weeks, according to reports.

Supposedly there's no clue as to who is doing it, but it appears its Muslim airport workers.  And yes, this is being investigated by the airline and the FBI.  Where the FBI is investigating this, Homeland Security may want to follow suit - if they bother to. 

The "tags" appear to speak for themselves.  It is a clear message to America: if Muslims can do this to airplanes -  then what would stop Muslims from planting bombs on planes?

There is the rub.  Homeland Security and TSA is busy concentrating their efforts in certain areas like that of pat downs of 80 year old women and inspecting carry-ons, while at the same time TSA and Homeland Security look the other way when it comes to potential problem areas.




So let's see, the Arabic graffiti has been translated but the airline, the FBI, or Homeland Security won't say what it says.  Is this another case of more "let's not offend the Muslims" nonsense?

Are there background checks done on the ground crews at airports?  Are the Muslim workers at airports checked out to see if they are followers of some crazed Iman who is bent on killing innocent Americans? 

And if I hear this nonsense about how that's "profiling," friends, lets make something real clear. Criminal profiling is done everyday by almost all law enforcement agencies around the world.  It is one of the ways that society prevents crime and catches the bad guys.  

One of the priorities of any sort solid security plan is to try to prevent things from happening before they have a chance of happening.

But wait, the Arabic graffiti on the underbelly of airplanes is not the only place Arabic graffiti is showing up. Actually, the airlines have been finding a lot of Arabic graffiti in the restrooms and on overhead bins in their airplanes recently. 

From what I've read, most have made references to their "Jihad."  

If the Muslim graffiti on our nation's airplanes are threats, then I really believe that the American public has a need to know this.  If for any other reason so that Americans can put presure on the Obama Administration and Homeland Security to do something about this potential problem before it escalates into one of our airplanes being blown out of the sky.
