    Mainstream media's celebrated 'victim' of Islamophobia JAILED on terrorism charges

    -A man, who just two years ago was the poster boy for the far-Left media's attacks against the U.S. government's no-fly list for "unfairly" targeting Muslims, finds himself and several family members sitting in a Turkish prison -- arrested earlier this month near the Turkey-Syria border as members of an ISIS cell.

    It's a long way from 2013 when Saadiq Long's cause was being championed by MSNBC's Chris Hayes, Glenn Greenwald, and Mother Jones, and was being represented by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) terror front.

    His story got considerable media attention when his CAIR media representatives here pushed the story that Long wanted to return to his native Oklahoma from his current home in Qatar to visit his ailing mother but couldn't because he was on the TSA's no-fly list. They said his case represented institutional "Islamophobia."

    Long's cause got international attention when Glenn Greenwald published an article at The Guardian saying that Long was "effectively exiled from his own country." Kevin Drum of Mother Jones branded it the "Kafkaesque World of the No-Fly List." CAIR has 22 article entries related to Long's case on its website.

    After several months of wrangling between his CAIR attorneys and the Department of Homeland Security, Long was temporarily removed from the no-fly list and allowed to return to Oklahoma.

    Once home, however, he was still subject to FBI surveillance according to claims he made during a press conference with his CAIR handlers.

    After an incident with local police and the FBI, Long was apparently placed back on the no-fly list, preventing his return to Qatar.

    That prompted even more outrage from the far-Left media and garnered him an appearance with his CAIR handler on Chris Hayes' MSNBC show...

    I may be wrong but I still have my eye on the boy that made the 'home made clock' and took it t school and made headlines for being arrested.
    The puzzling thing is that both he and his family, as intelligent as they are, seemed really naïve about how the school would respond to such an instrument being brought and used without permission. And now he is suing for 15M even though he did break the school rules.
    And apparently he was unable to communicate and suspicious and became high enough to arrest him...
    The perfect cover for terror cells is PC..

    Well, I do have a problem with the no-fly list; a legal U.S. resident shouldn't be prevented from flying without due process. Let the TSA present its evidence in a court of law, let the defendant challenge the evidence, and let a jury decide.

    I think a reasonable compromise is to perform enhanced searches of people who appear on these lists, prior to their boarding the aircraft. If they're clean, they should be permitted to board.

    If they are muslim, they should not be allowed to fly... they can drive!

    Numerous passages in their teachings that call for them to murder those that refuse to convert to their sicko religion.

    But, after we see a few more hijackings and big time terror attacks in this nation... maybe we will wake on and understand that the koran need to be outlawed based on it's call for overthrowing the government and instituting muslim rule.

    This is illegal under Federal law right now... too bad this is yet another law they refuse to enforce.
