He's right, for once. It isn't racist to point out that by far the greatest demographic likely to be terrorists are Muslim men.

How do you identify a muslim man?

[p4cks]

He could say absolutely anything he wanted to and people would still fly on his aircraft. I genuinely admire his arrogance/confidence.

Make gender person who follows Muslim religion?

Just a guess

Has never heard of the Black Widows?

And as has been stated, what’s the criteria for a muslim man?

And how do you identify that?

[Brads67]

No idea how you differentiate between non muslim and muslim males but other than that, he's right.

Make them denounce islam at the boarding gate, that'll do it.

What does a Muslim man look like?

Would you be happy getting on a flight when you knew everyone except a Muslim man had been subjected to less stringent security?

He just wants to introduce another surcharge for profiling anyone with a tan.

I think that’s the whole point of his comments, he’s in the media and people are talking about Ryanair. Maybe they’ll be booking a flight soon and ryaniar will be in their mind.

It like his comments on standing only flights or charging fatties more or having one pilot or charging for the toilet etc etc.

With events just in Germany, what happens if someone said all grey men with red faces are extremists?

Are all white men extremists, off course not, so is it the same for all Muslim men?

Pretty much.
I'd be happier knowing that any identified muslim had undergone extra checks.
Same with Nazis

Michael O-Leary: wants additional checking on single muslim men
JPJPJP: OMG he's going to check the majority of passengers less stringently!


You should definitely consider gutter press journalism as a career, you'd be great.

Did you read the article? That is basically what he is asking for, less stringent checks on the majority of passengers and keep the stringent checks for single Muslim men.

This was even clarified by the RA statement after the interview.

Did you just suggest Muslim men should have the same level of extra checks as Nazis?

Anyone else on PH have prejudiced views such as this or is this an isolated incident?

I'd rather fly on any other airline's plane with any combination / number people of any race, creed, gender or religion (all being treated equally) than fly stty RyanAir and put money in O'Leary's pockets, and that's before his latest gibbering.

Agree. Will absolutley never step foot on one his planes. I have changed holiday plans because his airline was the only airline to fly to a given destination at the time we wanted to go.

To be fair to JPJPJP, that's almost literally what O'Leary said.

I'll never step foot on a Ryanair flight so not my concern.
