Anywhere but NYC and I would say that this guy was nuts.

Glad to hear that everything turned out ok. These types of stories will opo up from tinme to time because people are very on edge. This guy has issues beyond being a muslim. He would have done something similar had the events of 9/11 not taken place but he may have carried it out differently. Nuts is still nuts people. Yes there are more loonies then ever but the city as a whole seems more peaceful then ever.

LIke I said glad to hear this storry turned out to have a safe ending. Thanks for sharing and I hope others will point on things that they spot to keep everyone aware and informed.

Glad everyone was safe. Unfortunately, it was the constant repetition of scenes like this on the subways and streets of NYC that led Bernard Goetz many years ago to (illegally) carry a weapon, which he used in justified self defense against some thugs in the subway, for which he was convicted. I have a woman friend who carries a 9 mm (with which she is *very* proficient) whenever she travels, because she believes that even a firearm conviction is worth keeping her life and/or her virtue secure from murder or rape. It really is too bad that in NYC only the criminals are armed, and I sadly must agree with the writer who said, "Welcome to a post-Giuliani NY."
