Hamas-linked CAIR was all over this, asking that there be an investigation into whether Trump’s Muslim ban was already de facto in place. Prime Minister David Cameron promised to look into it, which he never did when I was banned from Britain for making the commonplace and obviously true assertion that Islam has doctrines of violence. The mainstream media has been filled with stories of these poor victims of “Islamophobia,” denied their holiday in Disneyland because of “racism” and “bigotry.” There’s just one problem with all this: it looks as if there were numerous legitimate reasons to bar this family from the U.S. — reasons that have nothing to do with their being Muslim or holding certain political views, and everything to do with ties to jihad terror.
“Father of Muslim ‘Disneyland Family’ Banned from U.S. Denies Extremist Links,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, December 24, 2015:
One of the fathers traveling with the Muslim family banned from entering the U.S. this week has denied any alleged links to Islamist extremism after a Facebook page set up at his home address was discovered, praising al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
On Tuesday Mohammad Tariq Mahmood, his brother and nine of their children were pulled from a queue at Gatwick airport by British Border Force guards and barred from traveling to the US on the instruction of U.S. Homeland Security.
A Facebook account, set up at his London address in the name of Hamza Hussain, has now been discovered listing titles such as “supervisor at Taliban and leader at al-Qaeda”.
Although one of Mr. Mahmood’s sons is called Hamza, when asked about the account, Mr. Mahmood told ITV that hackers may be to blame, adding: “That could be anything, maybe a mistake.”
A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman said that currently the “religion, faith or spiritual beliefs of an international traveler are not determining factors” when deciding if a person can travel to the US.
However, the spokesman explained, people can be denied entry for a variety of reasons including health-related issues, prior criminal convictions, security concerns or on miscellaneous grounds.
Despite claiming that they were stopped unfairly, it was reported last night the brothers “hit positive for terror checks”.
As reported by Breitbart London, it was revealed yesterday that Mr. Mahmood’s brother was denied entry into Israel and detained eight years ago on a “lads” trip to Middle East with a “group of older gentlemen.”
The Muslim Council of Britain, which was recently linked to the Muslim Brotherhood Islamist network in a government report, said that the last-minute denial of boarding privileges without explanation is distressing for Muslims.
“There is a perception that such decisions are being made due to the faith or political activism of individuals,” the council said.
Yesterday Labour MP Stella Creasy wrote a letter to David Cameron demanding action, claiming that “a growing number of UK Muslim citizens say they have been similarly treated.”
A Downing Street spokeswoman promptly confirmed the Prime Minister was considering the issues, and would respond in due course.
“Muslim ‘Disneyland Family’ Banned From America: Why Their ‘Islamophobia’ Story Doesn’t Stack Up,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, December 23, 2015:
It’s been two days since the Guardian broke the ‘Disneyland family’ story; a woeful Christmas tale of American ‘Islamophobia’ and discrimination. An innocent Muslim family cruelly denied entry into the US by Homeland Security scrooges with no good reason, we were told.
Speaking to the Guardian, Mohammad Tariq Mahmood, who was travelling with his brother and nine of their children on a family holiday to Disneyland California, said: “It’s because of the attacks on America – they think every Muslim poses a threat.”
This morning, Labour MP Stella Creasy waded in on the furore, claiming the ‘Disneyland family’ had been “trumped” and calling for a “critique of American Republican primary political positioning”.
Linking the issue to Mr. Trump, anecdotally, she postulated that “a growing number of UK Muslim citizens say they have been similarly treated”, and the BBC believed her.
Ms. Creasy, MP for Walthamstow in East London, perhaps trying to redeem herself with Muslim constituents after voting for action in Syria, wrote a letter to David Cameron demanding action. A Downing Street spokeswoman promptly confirmed the Prime Minister was considering the issues, and would respond in due course.
When a former member of Hizbut al Tahrir – one of the largest global movements for an Islamic caliphate – tweeted her a similar tale of victimhood, she promised to lobby for him to be allowed into the US too.
Today, however, it looks as thought the MP and the Guardian might just have jumped the gun.
One of the brothers was interviewed on LBC Radio. He explained that they had left their wives at home and traveled to the airport. “We were waiting in the queue at the gate and we were very close to getting on the plane”, he said.
“Then an announcement said they wanted to speak to Mr. Mohammad. There was no one else of Asian origin or who looked Muslim so I knew it was me.
“A gentleman said he was from British Border Control and he had a border control jacket on… He said there was something wrong with my ESTA [Electronic System for Travel Authorization] and that I wouldn’t be able to board.
“…He finally said they had had a call from Washington DC from homeland security”.
At first, Mr. Mohammad said he had no idea what the call could concern. But, when questioned, he let slip that his brother, “had a scenario 10 years ago when he went to see the holy mosque in Tel Aviv”, presumably referring to the holy mosque in Jerusalem.
“He did not get in any trouble, ” he said, but was detained because “he is a bearded man,” and was only held overnight because the guards did not work on Saturday. His brother’s wife later revealed that the BBC had reported that he had been detained for eight days.
Speaking later on the same show, she said: “My husband travelled to Israel with a couple of other gentlemen; a couple of older gentlemen and a couple of friends”.
She explained that it was “about 8 years ago, before any kind of war or any thing of that kind of nature was going on – you were allowed to travel to Israel”.
However, when pressed, she revealed that her husband was flat out denied entry to the country.
“Same as here, we weren’t given any answer”, she said, postulating: “Probably because there were young lads, they probably thought they were going to, you know, cause havoc or something.”
Unlike on this occasion, after being denied entry into Israel, “he didn’t make a fuss”, she said, and returned straight home.
She never explained why he had traveled there with the “older gentlemen” or group of “lads” and what “havoc” the authorities feared. But, arresting someone for merely “having a beard” is illegal in Israel, and being denied entry into the country not particularly common….

Muslims have huge junk of their brains blocked and destroyed by islam and have very limited self-awareness and NO perception of the Golden Rule Principal. That is why this muslim and the majority of muslims across the world are blaming this huge islamic global problem on every thing else but islam.

Islam, the Religion of Mindlessness(TM)
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
They’re simply congenital liars. I mean it’s even enshrined in their ‘religion’. Taqiyya. That’s their ‘Golden Rule’. Close as they come anyway.
Marty says
Well said.
Islam is a cancer on the world & is doing massive harm to the UK & Europe as a whole.
The US is a sovereign state, like the UK used to be, & so can ban anyone it wishes.
In the UK we give social housing to genocidal murderers from Africa.
And as the above case demonstrates, pay the lowest of the low to have as many kids as possible.

The BBC etc couldn’t wait to lead with this story, but as ever their Muslim friends let them down by actually being on the terrorist watch list.
Needless to say, the follow up story containing the new facts hasn’t seen the light of day. Mission accomplished – the evil west is picking on Muslims l, which 99% of the population will think as they wont bother to investigate the story further.

Hey, muslim idiots, Khruschev was banned from Disneyland in his day, and he never slit anyone’s throat!!! Would that you’d never been allowed in the country, let alone Disney theme-parks.

All Mahoundians have terror connections,,,Allah, the Quran, the examples-+ of Mahound and the ummah….Of course that has nothing to do wit Islam…

Oh crap, another “awful Islamophobes” story ruined by the facts.
And it was so tantalizingly wholesome with the Disneyland at Christmas aura about it.
Well the updates will be missed by most anyway, so we can rely on the simple-minded headline readers to swallow the hook, just like they did with Ahmed’s “homemade clock”.
mortimer says
IRONY of IRONIES…now David Cameron seems to be backtracking on the ‘benign Islam’ theory.
Could it be some facts are seeping into the minds of the UK government??
-BBC Radio (2015): 45% of British Muslims agree that clerics preaching violence against the West represent “mainstream Islam”.
-Britain: 80% of London’s Muslims support the Islamic State – poll
-UK counter-terror project: One in ten identified as extremist are under 12-years of age, July 2015
-Britain: 24% of Muslims have no qualifications and 21.3% have never held a job, Feb.2015
-UK: Islamic child-sex grooming up by 32% in a year and spread to every town and city, Jan.2015
-BBC (2015): Following the Charlie Hebdo attacks, 27% of British Muslims openly support violence against cartoonists. Another 8% would not say, meaning that only 2 of 3 surveyed would say that the killings were not justified.
ex-pat says
Several points here –
1/ This had nothing to do with Trump as liberals & CAIR might claim as it was a correct decision by homeland security and its more than likely it was Obama covering his ass.
2/ Its likely that Obama backed this especially after the fall out from San Bernandino due to flawed and potentially political decisions made over the K-1 visa process. That process doesn’t even require rigorous back ground checks for spouses compared to the I-130 process I had to go through and the K-1 visa could easily be manipulated for political purposes.
3/ Like many of these lame objections from Liberals, once the initial outcry has been made from them, we start getting a drip feed of terrorist links and suspicious activities that maybe, there is a terror threat after all.
4/ Then we’ve had the lame objections from the UK liberals claiming America can’t deny entry to these non US citizens. Of course America can legally deny entry for any undisclosed reason just like the UK government has banned people like Robert Spencer & Pamela Geller (wrongly) and they aren’t even terrorist threats. All countries have the right to deny entry of non citizens.
5/ Then we had objections to ‘profiling’ from a UK Muslim cleric which of course is nonsense and a lie. There were substantiated links to undesirable Muslim extremists by one or more in this group, so they were probably refused entry on that and not because of their religion or race. Its also possible there were even greater threats that we aren’t privy to so we have to trust Homeland Security after their recent wake up call.
Whatever the motives really were here, the right decision was made, why take a chance with a group of males, many full grown when it was suspicious no mothers were in the party and there were some links to terrorism. Its probably time to instigate a positive vetting approach to every non citizen entering a western country just to be safe than sorry. If you can’t cut the mustard on security grounds then tough, suck it up.
Edwin1683 says
1/ Good for Homeland Security for identifying their terror connections, which must be very significant for Obama to have allowed them to be stopped.
2/ Why would they want to go to Disneyland anyway? I thought they disapproved of all that decadent entertainment stuff.
3/ Stella Creasey’s call for a “critique of American Republican primary political positioning” is arrogant. Who put her in charge of what goes on in the U.S.?

Most if not all British holiday makers either go to Disney World in Florida or Euro Disney, they don’t go to Disney Land for the simple reason its further to fly, it costs more to get there and more to stay in California than Florida. Additionally in the Orlando area there is universal, Legoland and Sea World, Cape Canaveral, Key West and even the gulf coast only a few hours drive away whilst LA only has an old Universal. The question then arises why would you fly another 3 hours and pay another $500 a head more to go to California.
Back in the 1980’s I had reason to fly to Israel on business and the questioning at check in was very thorough to the point of being intrusive compared to the rest of the western world at that time. I accepted it as part of the security needs for Israel and it seems the case that where queries are aroused, in depth questioning is the order of the day in 2015. Did I complain about Israel’s questioning of me, of course not as it was for my safety as much as theirs.
My suggestion to those who think they might run foul of Homeland Security is to get pre-vetting that has been available for years for business travelers. I get fast tracked at most US airports but I’ve been thoroughly vetted by Homeland Security through the I-130 immigrant process, not to be confused with the K-1 cursory checks that let in that female jihadist.

So what, the UK bans non-Muslim Americans for the high crime of speaking the truth about Islam.

Yeah, I’m sure that guy wasn’t allowed to enter Israel “because he had a beard”. There are lots of Israelis with beards…don’t the ultra-religious Orthodox Jews there have beards?

The two brothers did not want the extra expense of airfare for their 6 wives.
Islam :- the religion of con artists says
Supervisor for Taliban & Leader at al-qaeda , I guess if he sez he doesn’t do that any more and he is backed up by CAIR then it must be true …
So why would you leave the family at home and go to Disneyland …..???? at xmas ..
Singh the Sikh says
The Muslim prig supported Taliban and Al Qaeda, but when caught out, denies it. Typical of a cowardly, lying islamist; deceit in the form of taqiya is integral to this so-called religion.
If you support Al Qaeda and Taliban, why go to Disneyland in hated America? AS a muslim, why set foot in evil, filthy America in the first place? Why not go to the pure islamic lands of Afghanistan, or Pakistan, or any other ….tan, where you and family will no doubt be welcomed with open arms.
Why live sinful Britain, where pork is staple, and beer drinking a much-loved sport? Why not leave? Go to Saudi Arabia, your mecca. There you will be treated as third-class citizens, but you Pakistanis worship the ground Arabs walk on, so it would be an honour for you, serving the saudis.
You choose to stay in Britain, enjoy all all the free benefits of a safe and stable country, take advantage of the welfare system, then traitorously declare your support for Al Qaeda and the Taliban? Typical ungrateful Islamist pig – too many in the muslim community unfortunately (apologies to the pig for the comparison).
The Muslim Council of Britain said incident is ‘distressing for Muslims’. What is distressing for non-muslims is being targeted and killed in terrorists plots by islamist traitors. It is getting too much to bear. Get it into your thick effing skulls that measures will be taken to counter the threat, especially if you declare allegiance to Al Qaeda.
Muslims Council bleats that “There is a perception that such decisions are being made due to the faith or political activism of individuals”. What the f… do you expect when people of one faith are behind virtually all terrorist plots and acts, and when you declare support for Al Qaeda, declared enemy of state? That mean you also support the 9/11 strike. Yet you expect the US to lay out the red carpet? Effing mind blowing, the Muslim mentality/sense of entitlement. Totally agree with Christian Blood: the lack of “self-awareness” and inflated sense of righteousness and is staggering.

“…On Tuesday Mohammad Tariq Mahmood, his brother and nine of their children were pulled from a queue at Gatwick airport by British Border Force guards and barred from travelling to the US on the instruction of U.S. Homeland Security…”
It’s good to see agencies getting things right, it means we can get some proper sleep in between terror alerts. These public security bodies shouldn’t feel any need to run the gauntlet of press surveillance with every personal story of rejection. Like it or not we are at war with a certain expression of Islam and so Muslims can expect to be under particular scrutiny and those with suspect links can expect multiple and recurrent inconveniences.
It is probably about time to consider the option of internment of families with known sympathies to Jihadist terrorist organisations as this could considerable lighten the workload of counter terrorist agencies and make the streets safer for law abiding citizens and foreign residents.
ex-pat says
Oh well, it took just one post by me on the ABC website about Homeland Security banning entry for Brits to the USA for what they consider credible threats to national security. Immediately ABC banned have me for re-posting truths published elsewhere in main stream news media. Nothing offensive, completely accurate but an inconvenient truth their moderator objected to as it went against their left wing ideology.
There’s me thinking that the American media embraced freedom of speech more so than the UK but sadly ABC news is even worse than that Guardian rag in Britain when it comes to censorship. It it doesn’t fit their narrative, its censored !

I am a Hindu, and was once stopped in Belgium, soon after 9/11, for questioning. It was very thorough, and asked me proofs that I had indeed visited the places I claimed to have in Europe (I was on a backpacking trip there). I was let go only after providing such proofs.
I actually was very thankful to the security there for being so thorough. I realize this was more for my safety than anyone else’s on the ground. I left Belgium with a sense of respect. Most westerners cannot tell the difference between an Indian Hindu and a Pakistani Muslim, and I’d rather be safe.
Muslims think differently: from childhood they are indoctrinated into a “us vs. them” system, and taught to play victim. After all, that is how all of Mohammed’s violence towards the Meccans, the Christians, and the Jews is justified.
We are living in the world of international Jihadi terror. It is in *our interests* to have such security at crucial points such as airports.
andrew sapia says
India is a great ally and Indian immigrants assimilate well and are generally wonderful people good neighbors. For all of its short comings I think most Indians are appreciative of the positive things that Britain did in India. They mapped the entire country, built railroads, bridges and other important infrastructure. Introduced liberal arts education. Every educated Indian I have ever met speaks impeccable English, is usually very well read can quote Shakespeare. Parliamentary government is another positive. Of all the foreigners that have ruled India Britain was hands down the most benevolent. Muslims brutalized Hindus. Even since partition you look at the numbers of Hindus in Pakistan at partition and the numbers of Muslims on the Indian side. Now look today the numbers of Hindus have been reduced to a fraction while Muslims in India thrive. It’s just a fact. No minority faith lasts very long and certainly never thrives in a Muslim society, PERIOD! If I’m wrong please show me where this place is. In America Indians contribute a lot and there are none of these terror concerns. Fortunately the system in India allows them to export brain power and still have enough native brain power to contribute to India. Pakistan has perpetual brain drain because as soon as anyone gets good degree all they want to do is get the hell out of Pakistan and they don’t produce enough brain power and so can’t afford to loose their best and brightest but they can hardly stop it. It is the legacy of Islam and nothing else that holds Pakistan back.
