Are you saying, or just implying that Muhammed Ali, Jr. is a "Muslim terrorist"?

I don't understand why nowadays anyone who gets stopped will immediately cry "racism, Islamic discrimination" while many white people with regular names get stopped and asked questions on a daily base!

Stop traveling if you can't handle the stress!

Are you pretending, or are you actually that obtuse?

The purported questioning of Muhammad about his religion would seem to raise the Muslim issue.

The treatment of the Aussie writer and the JPL scientists would seem to raise other issues such as ill advised use of discretionary authority and impolite and insulting behavior.

And the same questions are not insulting behavior when a white person is questioned like friends of mine a couple in their 60's!!!!

Some people have the words on the top of their tongue to come out right away when anything happens they don't like.

On top of that why is nobody mentioning what the other side of the story is?

I know they probably will not comment but the story may be completely untrue.

He changed his name years ago as I am sure that you know.
1964 – Cassius Clay changes his name to Muhammad Ali

We'll see. There's always videos. If nothing pops up on the MSM we'll have forgotten all about this in a week.
