Good. Should be stoped and vetted.

His dad believed that white people are the devils and ... well go look up what Black Muslims in the U.S. believe. Crazy stuff.

NEVER hear it discussed in the MSM either.

That’s because there’s several million mass murderers in the middle east named Mohammed. That’s my best guess as to why.

The name “Muhammad Ali” in the Arab world is about as unusual as “Fred Smith” is (or was?;) in the USA. Don’t take any chances!!!

‘because of their Arabic-sounding names’

Sounds like BS. Customs doesn’t provide explanations.

Are Ali Jr. and associates American citizens?

It would be unusual for customs to screen American citizens like they were aliens (foreign nationals) entering the United States, regardless of name or religion...

Shocking? I don’t think so.

Too bad, bub.

Ali: “What’s my name?.....WHAT’S MY NAME”?.......A long time ago. Where have all the years gone?

Exactly.
But, one never knows nowadays when you’re gonna get the glove treatment regardless.
Middle Eastern regimes seem liberal by comparison.

Good!

If true, it indicates they are finally scrutinizing the muzz-holes. They shouldn’t even be allowed to fly.

Missed that. Maybe suspected of drug smuggling? I was briefly detained, me and my girlfriend, when returning from Jamaica.

I was there!

Professionally. Was on the news staff of WBNS-TV, Columbus, Ohio. The local sports media refused to use Ali's "new" name. Called him "Champ." Ali was incensed! I agree with those who claim this is fake news. If it's true, somebody needs a bit more training.
