"Muslim-Americans pressed a senior U.S. official last week to explain why they were fingerprinted, photographed and held at the border after a religious conference in Canada, but came away with hardly any answers, according to a media report."
Boo-hoo, Boo-hoo...
I get fingerprinted & photographed and background checked every 18 months...don't see me crying the blues...
Suck it up and DEAL with it!

""The American public has come to readily associate all Arabs and Muslims as 'terrorists' and 'evil-doers,'" Akram said."
Now how on Earth did that ever come about? Who knew? Until major muslim organizations in the US come out and declare their allegiance to our country, it is safe to say that we must consider all muslims as potential terrorists. Islam is not compatible with our system of government nor our society of personal freedoms. Islam is not compatible with our ideal of equal rights under the law for women and minorities. Islam is not compatible with the American ideal of freedom of religion or speech. In short, islam is not compatible with America. Until islam changes, muslims must accept suspicion and doubt toward them.

"Ironically, the conference was about improving relations between Muslims and non-Muslims."
I've got one heck of an idea: Muslims stop killing non-Muslims. Those videos of people screaming "Allah Akbar!" while they gruesomely murder innocent people don't do anything for Muslims' image.

It is unfortunate but it is just the way it is going to be. Life is not fair.

Hmmm, there are almost 3,000 reasons. Would you like us to name all of them?

Following Sept. 11, more than 1,200 Arab and Muslim immigrants were detained and arrested.Let's see, how does that compare to three times that many Americans and their guests who were brutally murdered on 9/11? 1,200 of the group from which these terrorists spawned were asked a few questions? Cry me a river.

Why?
Perhaps it's because they all belong to a murderous "religious" cult -- whose "holy book" clearly states the murderous intent of their cult...
I remain suspicious of any Muslim that STILL doesn't understand WHY we are particularly suspect of their goals and strategy...
Perhaps after I, as a Christian can practice my religion in a chapel in Saudi Arabia -- I may have more concern for the complaints of Muslims in America.

Well at least they didn't get panties put on their heads or their heads chopped off...
BFD leave the US you are subject to search and interrogation..did they have valid US passports to prove who they were?
Next time they should just sneak across like the millions of illegals and they won't have to put up with this several hours delay...

"But those who were stopped wanted to know who had authorized the searches, why conference attendees were targeted, why people who had not been detained in more than 20 years of border crossings were only now stopped, and what became of their fingerprints and photographs." Maybe it's because ..... oh, never mind.

They need to quit whining and just go back to the mud hut where they came from. Muslim Americans ??? No such thing period as all "Americans" were shocked and angered by 9/11 not rejoicing like the children of the pseudo religion.
