The chief executive officer of Ryanair said that terrorists «are generally Muslim men». Interviewed by The Times, Michael O'Leary said that «bombers» will «generally be of a Muslim persuasion», calling for the profiling of Muslim men in airports, the Guardian reports.
«They are going to be single males travelling on their own... If you are travelling with a family of kids, on you go; the chances you are going to blow them all up is zero», the 58-year-old entrepreneur said on Saturday.
«You can’t say stuff, because it’s racism, but it will generally be males of a Muslim persuasion. Thirty years ago it was the Irish. If that is where the threat is coming from, deal with the threat», he added.
Ryanair boss was heavily criticized for his comments that were dubbed Islamophobic. «This is the very definition of Islamophobia. Institutional discrimination against Muslims is well-established: whether it is the ability to get a job, buy a flat or even getting car insurance. The challenges of flying while Muslim are well documented across the globe», the Muslim Council of Britain said.
