Ryanair CEO criticised following ‘Muslim’ – ‘Terrorist’ generalising comments

Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary is facing criticism for claiming terrorists “will generally be males of a Muslim persuasion”.

The airline boss has been accused of making “racist and discriminatory” remarks.

The Muslim Council of Britain said the comments amounted to discrimination against Muslim passengers, while hate-crime monitoring group, Tell Mama suggested his “flippant” words could end up having serious consequences for the business.

The 58-year-old told the Times that families with young children should be waved through airport security because there was “virtually” zero chance of them being bombers.
