The cases below are Muslim families (1 was an iman), living in the UK, and UK citizens, denied visas at the last minute and unable to recover their prepaid vacation costs (airfare, hotel...). All had applied for and passed the Visa Waiver and were stopped in the days before leaving or at the gate. No mention if any had been in Syria or Iraq recently.

The Brits don't want them either.

'You and your children will be next': Islamic fanatics wielding meat cleavers butcher and try to behead a British soldier, taking their war on the West to a new level of horror



Of course, not brought to you by the USA MSM.

I suspect these liberal news sources are just trying to stir up the PC crowd, but hopefully this is actually happening and they really are being "trumped" as one put it.

The article is crap.


It contradicts itself.


A person holding a British passport does not need a visa to enter the US. He applies and is granted authorization for the visa waiver program using ESTA.


But then the article says his visa was revoked. What visa? His ESTA could be denied by US Customs and he will be denied boarding but only the State Department can revoke a visa. US Customs can cancel a visa but only the State department can revoke the visa.

Mohammad Tariq Mahmood dismisses Facebook page linked to Taliban and Al Qaeda | Daily Mail Online

"...it has since emerged that a Facebook page claiming links to radical Islamist groups was set up by someone who has lived at the family's postal address, according to ITV News.
The account, which includes information suggesting it may have been published as a joke, was in the name of Hamza Hussain - a first name shared by Mr Mahmood's 18-year-old son. It reportedly lists the job titles 'supervisor at Taliban and leader at al-Qaeda'.

This kind of scrutiny should be the rule, not the exception.

Wives of Mr. Mahmood? How many does he have? So Sharia IS the law in Britain. What a creep. The whole thing smells. I want to know where he got the $13,000 to pay for airline tickets.

Looks like Trump Muslim ban is already on

More news coming out about this case. No women were traveling with this family just men on this family trip to Disney.
One family member was detained for days in Israel and deported.
Facebook page found linked to AL Quada...for the 18 year old.

This muslim family lives in the area in London where the most extreme Muslims live.

I give homeland security all the benefit of the doubt on this one

Two years ago I was traveling from Amsterdam Schiphol to the USA to get back home and saw that at the gate a couple of Dutch people who had all the signature signature of being Dutch as Dutch people often are called "cheese heads" due to their blond hair...they were denied to board due to their papers not being correct and it may have been related to the ESTA forms but that was all we picked up as the denied travelers were very upset of losing their money and not able to travel. That had nothing to do with Islam and I know a famous soccer.player was denied at Schiphol to board to the USA due to his conviction that only had him sentenced to probation and community service after drunk driving and killing a lady. ..which is a denial to enter the USA.

People who use the race card should check other cases of denials.

What a strange "story" - 2 brothers in their 40's decided to go to a family reunion in California and to Disneyland - the group includes their 9 children (including at least one 18 yr old & one 19 yr old), but no wives (one of them is in Pakistan). Turns out one of the "children" has a Facebook page tied to his name/address - references to both the Taliban & al-Qaeda. Daddy says "it's a hack", "it's a mistake", they must have tied this Facebook account to my son because of his first name - Hamza.

I think we all know that Facebook accounts are randomly tied to first names ...... right?

Best part is that the British press and these irate Muslims all think that Donald Trump is running TSA and Immigration in the USA. Not only that -- he has secretly been running it for at least 18 months!!
