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".Mucho kudos to Flea, again.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."
