It's Not Fair to Pick on Men Named Mohammed!

So a dude named Mohammed is pissed because it's taking his Visa a little longer to process than Brits with names like "Cecille" & "Roderick"? Fascists. People with the name Mohammed are no more likely to commit acts of terrorism than any one else, right?

Manchester Evening News:

A YOUNG Muslim fears his dream trip to America is threatened after US officials forced him to undergo extra security checks - because his name includes "Mohammed".

Umar Khan, 22, a student from Didsbury, was made to fork out £50 more than everyone else to have prints taken of all his fingers and checked with a terrorist database in Washington.

Umar - whose full name is Mohammed Umar Haleem Khan - is still waiting to hear if he will get his visa and fears he may now have to cancel his trip to work at a Camp America project in Pennsylvania....

"I feel completely discriminated against," Umar said. "I was supposed to be going on June 20 but if I don't get the visa soon I will have to do something else."

Mucho kudos to Flea, again.

3 Finger prints, pictures, what a great idea. Again, why does he want to come to America?

6 Wow, the ignorance of everyone posting here amazes me. I'd give a long lecture about how there have been far more Christian terrorists than Muslim ones (you just choose not to label Christians who have bombed places and killed people as terrorists), how Islam teaches peace, etc., but I doubt it would have any effect. If the facts don't fit your beliefs, people like you will just throw out the facts. George W. Bush has repeatedly demonstrated this. By the way, I'm not Muslim. I just happen not to have a single-digit IQ, so I realize that the way they are stereotyped is horribly off target.

7 So Mike. How many Christian terrorists blew up people today? Yesterday? The past decade? STFU. You have school tomorrow. Go to bed!!!!

8 How do you know it's the religion of Peace, Mike -- did CNN tell ya so? or was it the whole "Islam means peace" Taqiya they gave you. You might not be a Muslim, but you sure are a Muppet.

9 My (Chinese) girlfriend just had her visa application rejected, also after being fingerprinted, and after I paid $150 or thereabouts in processing fees. But the consulate told me I was welcome to try again! So, forgive me if I'm having trouble working up much sympathy for ol' Mo there.
