Under the Trump Administration, the Muslim ‘NO-FLY List’ has more names than ever before
by BareNakedIslam
Everyone who flies these days feels more peace of mind knowing that thousands of Muslims are on the 'No Fly List.' Most of the lawsuits filed against the government by designated terrorist group CAIR on behalf of Muslim No Fly Listees have not resulted in their removal from the list, though during the Obama regime, some did. Perhaps if Muslims feel unwelcome enough in this country they will decide to return to their countries by boat.....or flying carpet.
NorthJersey.com Adis Kovac moved from the Chicago suburbs to Paterson last year, packing up his belongings and making the 800-mile trip by car, since he’s been barred from air travel by the federal government since at least 2014.
A married father of three, Kovac, 28, is one of many Americans who claim they have wrongly been placed on a federal terror watch list and have been denied answers or information about their inclusion on it.
Kovac, who declined an interview request, and four other American citizens filed a federal lawsuit in Dallas last month alleging that their rights were violated when they were put on the list without notice and without any meaningful way to challenge the designation. They say they have never been arrested or charged with or convicted of a crime, and that they’ve been stigmatized by their placement on a registry of known or suspected terrorists.
“In order to go to weddings and funerals and visit family overseas, you need to be able to fly,” said Gadeir Abbas, an attorney at the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, who is representing Kovac and the other plaintiffs in his lawsuit. “People on the no-fly list can’t do that. It shrinks your world. It forces you to live your life in a pre-modern way where your world is confined to places that are readily accessible by car.”
The lives of those on the list have been upended in other ways, too; some have had difficulty opening bank accounts, applying for immigration benefits or crossing the border with Canada, while others have been subjected to lengthy searches and interrogations at airports, at home and in coffee shops.
They could face more hurdles under a bill proposed by Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-Wyckoff, that calls for businesses that rent or sell trucks and commercial vans to report customer information to the FBI.

The bill is aimed at preventing vehicular attacks, like the one carried out on Oct. 31 in New York City by a Muslim migrant, k*****g eight people. Sayfullo Saipov, who lived in Paterson and faces murder and terror charges in connection with the Halloween attack, allegedly rented the truck from a Home Depot store.
Civil liberties advocates say people have ended up on the terror watch lists — including the no-fly and selectee lists — because of where they've traveled and who they know or have encountered. Others Muslims claim they were placed on the list after they refused to be informants for law enforcement.
CAIR said in its lawsuit that the watch list is motivated by religious and ethnic profiling or guilt by association, noting the disproportionate representation of Muslims on the list. The Department of Justice did not respond to request for comment. But in testimony, federal authorities have said that names are vetted and that nominations must be supported by facts and “rational inferences.”
The federal government keeps information about people it suspects of terrorism-related activity in its Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, a database that was created after the 9/11 terror attacks to facilitate the sharing of information among intelligence agencies. Around 1.6 million people, including 16,000 Americans, were listed in the database as of February 2017.

There is no reason to make any muslim feel welcome in our country since almost all muzzies do not want to assimilate, prefer sharia to our constitution, and will not speak up when other muzzies try to suppress liberty, freedom of our religions and our way of life. Keep all muzzies where they belong, in north AfriKa and the Middle East. Preferably let them all move to
Saudi Arabia and fence them in.
