    Remember the media like using convenient spokespeople and call them "community leaders" when they are random person on the street who happen to be Muslim....

    2 brothers off with their 11 kids, no wives in tow and a FB page banging on about terrorism, looks like the US did their job, the UK should now investigate these people post haste.

    Can't find any figures on all travellers barred from US at last minute but this sort of thing does happen to others too:

    Non news may be an appropriate title as it could be one of those things blown out of proportion.

    Seen reference to 20 similar cases, over an unstated period. Based on visitor figures and demographics, around 180,000 Muslims probably visit the US each year so it's not a huge percentage. And how many non-Muslims get similar bans? We don't know obviously, as such cases would not trigger the PC reaction.
