#4  According to the article case law on this goes back to 2013, and the uptick in complaints took place in 2016. Definitely reframing old news.

#3  also worth noting. This story would have originated by el-Sharkawi ringing up AP and saying "I've just been searched 4 hours at airport, I'm being profiled for being Muslim".

It would have started with his complaint, and he would have been very happy to pose for photos and be quoted.

That's the frame for the journo to hang the story on.

Journo would have checked it out, and found this is now the policy. Done some research on the rules

voila wire story goes everywhere

this is Muslim Brotherhood propaganda. Just like al Jazeera pushes "refugees are good" (for the West)

the Muslim Brotherhood use complaints like this to push news "we are victims being targeted"

i hope they DO get targeted, they are indeed the enemy

#2  also GOOD: hope border security targets Muslims including those going on hajj to mecca

they do need to be searched. they need extra scrutiny

it's not the buddhists we're at war with

#1  Haisam el Sharkawi -

Muslim, born in Saudi Arabia to Egyptian parents.

That makes him immediately at risk of being a Sunni Islamofascist, possibly Muslim Brotherhood.

Self-employed businessman moved to Anaheim in 2004, became citizen in 2012 (why was this allowed???)

On a pilgrimmage to Mecca.

Won't let border security look in his phone "because he didn't want male staff to see a picture of his wife with her head uncovered"

leading to his being locked up 4 hours for interrogation.

This is EXACTLY the type of person I want Trump's extreme vetting to ban from moving to the West

someone who doesn't want a border security official in the course of their job to see just a photo of their wife without a hijab is someone who is NOT COMPATIBLE with Western Civilisation.

he should move to an Islamic Civilisation.
