That line also interested me: why did the the author seemingly think Riga (Latvia) is in the Islamic world?

(Possible answer: JFK-Riga is operated by an Uzbek airline. Which is a question of its own.)

Thought the same thing. However, assuming if it's Uzbek airline then people flying it to Riga must be Muslims sounds strange. I'm sure there are some Muslims in Riga, but so are in any other random major city.

I just assume whoever wrote this article had little idea of what Riga is and didn't care to check.
