Muslim teacher Juhel Miah denied entry to US 'not given reason'

Trump, and his apologists on AB, keep telling us that the proposed ban on people visiting the USA from Muslim some countries, wasn't a ban on Muslims !

No, no....its was just a coincidence of course !

Well, we have have a British citizen, with a British passport and a valid reason to visit the USA and a valid VISA, and he was turned away, while on route.

By the way, his background is Bangladeshi, and Bangladesh was not on Trumps list.

So the only reason left, while he could accompany his pupils on their trip to America. is because he was a Muslim, and we are back to square one again. So, the ban IS on Muslims !

Perhaps a visit to Tesco would be safer then Iceland.

NoM, you may need an Egyptian 'bikinee' for the thermal springs.....

[DTCwordfan]

Oh' and a cod-piece for the 'Berka'....

I am happy to come clean, yes it is rightly so a ban on Muslims, and Trump was wrong to deny it, correct that it is, it does upset our Tibetan Meusli fans so I quite understand.

[keyplus90]

"So, the ban is on Muslims", any doubt?

[ToraToraTora]

if they have any sense keyplus.

I must have missed something because I thought Mr Trumps ban had been overturned by the lefty Court, so this must be something else.

Still why let facts get in the way of a Trump bashing eh?

/// Mr Miah, whose first name is Mohammed but is known as
Juhel, ///

Could it have anything to do with his name change, I wonder what name was on his documents?

[Islay]

AOG the name on my passport is not the name I go by so why would it affect one and not the other?

[ummmm]

I know loads of people who don't go by their registered name.

[youngmafbog]

Yes, and many people do have problems with visa's by doing so. And not just in the US.

[Islay]

Never had a problem with visa's to Egypt or the USA.

Being known by friends and family by a name other than your real name is fine. You just have to remember not to use it on official documents. This is all speculation. We have no idea why he was refused entry to the US.

[mikey4444]

This British citizen was strip searched and then allowed on to the flight at Reykjavik Airport, bound for New York. But as soon as he was seated, an American women boarded the plane and ordered him off.

He has never travelled to any of the countries that Trump has tried to ban Muslims from travelling from, nor does his family have any connection with them either.

His only "crime" would appear to be that he has a foreign name and that he is a Muslim.

This is a British citizen and despite the fact that he is a Muslim, you would have thought that he would have got a bit more sympathy from some people on here. Imagine the uproar amongst the Usual Suspects, if this man, who has a first class degree, was a white chapel goer called Dai Jones.

[naomi24]

Mikey, I’d be willing to bet that his wasn’t the only foreign name on the passenger list. Hundreds of Muslims travel to and from the US every day without encountering problems. You have no idea why this one was ordered off the plane. Why are you expecting people to sympathise with him? I'd rather trust the authorities than give someone they're not happy about the benefit of the doubt - but then you wouldn't report suspicious activity aboard an aircraft anyway you said - you'd mind your own business - so that's where we differ. I put safety before virtue signalling.

[Old_Geezer]

Given that he has not been told why it is possible it was for reasons other than Trump's attempts to change the legislation.

Meanwhile it bears repeating than because the greatest risks from terrorism seem to be from Muslims these days it doesn't logically follow than banning those thought high risk is identical to banning Muslims, merely that most affected will inevitably be Muslims. If the legislation was thrown out for being a Muslim ban it was either a) thrown out erroneously, or b) badly worded such that a claim that it was religion based was upheld. But I reiterate for clarity that I think it is the wrong way to be going about things anyway.

Why do you always have to bring in colour?

Isn't there any black Chapel goers in Wales, and don't forget once again that Muslims come in all colours.

[hereIam]

As others have said, there was probably a valid reason which is why it was done.

[andy-hughes]

AOG - //Why do you always have to bring in colour? //

Comedy gold!

I was watching BBC world business report at about 5:45 am this morning and one of the presenters, a white man, said he got refused entry to Florida and held up for 9 hours because someone on a watch list had a similar name to his.
