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.

How unsurprising to find out that an American left winger turns out to be an Islamic terrorist.

I wonder if MSNBC will report the story. My guess is they'll treat it like this:

They always take the side of the offended minority without finding out any details.

The Media really is turning out to be the part-time friend and other-time enemy of the world. They report on what they want and in the manner they want. They try to scare you and then make you feel like a racist or a bigot for believing them. They create people and then destroy those same people, and they do it to causes and groups. They also divide as much as they say they unify. What we have (the media) is not what our forefathers envisioned when they spoke/protected the freedom of the press.

They've lost all integrity. Most of the media is liberal and a lot have ties to the Democratic party and this is no coincidence. They are being used as a weapon of manipulation against the American people. I can imagine anyone with principles (like a Ted Cruz) would be hated by their colleagues and iced out if they're not lock step with the ideology.

You are 100% correct. Better to advance the left wing agenda than report actual facts.

If he wasn't on the list he wouldn't have been a terrorist. No fly lists fueled by racist discrimination give people no choice but to join those fighting against the imperialist crusaders.

1 - any evidence he was a terror concern and that was the reason for the no fly list?


I mean both sides could be right. He could of been a nice non-terrorist back in the day. . and all this bull**** he decided to blow up people


but on a side note, getting arrested doesn't mean much in itself

He got arrested in Turkey. A fate worse than death.
