Queens native back home


From NBC:

A 26-year-old Queens man who was banned from flying without explanation while trying to return home after visiting family in Montenegro is finally back in New York.

Samir Suljovic arrived at Penn Station Monday night after spending three weeks fighting to get back to the U.S. He went to Montenegro in July, and when he tried to fly back home out of Vienna, Austria on Oct. 1, airline officials told him he couldn't board the flight, citing orders from the Department of Homeland Security.

Suljovic, who was raised in Queens and lives in Oakland Gardens, believes he was banned from flying because he's Muslim.

Given the choice between Montenegro or Queens...
I'd rather remain abroad.

"believes he was banned from flying because he's Muslim."

Since 100% of the terrorist that have hijacked planes in the last 25 years were muslim, can understand why you might be suspect?

Prefer to save lives then worry about your sensitivities.

Given my choice we'd not allow anymore Muslims into the country.

Muslim--no doubt. Also, what he does or doesn't do for a living, who he associates with, and who those people associate with-- no doubt those are factors as well in determining who should be allowed near aircraft. Why is this a surprise to anyone in the year 2012? Accept it. Move on.

Flushing is the breeding grounds for Afghani-American, Afghani terrorists, mainly pashtuns from Kandahar. Jamaica and Jackson Heights is home to the Bengali and Paki terror networks. And Astoria has the North African and Eastern European - Hungarian, Albanian, Czech etc...

No other borough really harbors and/or creates terrorists like QUeens does.

Then again the other boroughs (Upper Manhattan, Central Brooklyn and the majority of The Bronx) have drug related shoot outs at all hours of the day

Because NO other Muslims were allowed into the country in the last two weeks? This guy needs to get a grip!
