You have to laugh, an asian bloke was stopped and searched and questioned on the usual terrorism lark. The only thing is this bloke was a Labour minister.
i think he will think slightly differently about his ilegal wars and anti-liberty laws.
Minister detained at US airport
| Quote: | Mr Malik said he had also been stopped and searched last year
Britain's first Muslim minister, Shahid Malik, says he is "deeply disappointed" that he was detained by airport security officials in America.
The international development minister was stopped and searched at Washington DC's Dulles airport after a series of meetings on tackling terrorism.
Mr Malik, MP for Dewsbury, West Yorks, had his hand luggage checked for explosives when returning to Heathrow.
He said the same thing happened to him at JFK airport in New York last year.
On that occasion he had been a keynote speaker at an event organised by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), alongside the FBI and Muslim organisations, to talk about tackling extremism and defeating terrorism.
'Respect needed'
Mr Malik said he had received numerous apologies and assurances from the US authorities after that incident.
But he was again searched and detained by DHS officials on Sunday.
Mr Malik said two other Muslims were also detained.
"I am deeply disappointed," he said.
"The abusive attitude I endured last November I forgot about and I forgave, but I really do believe that British ministers and parliamentarians should be afforded the same respect and dignity at USA airports that we would bestow upon our colleagues in the Senate and Congress.
"Obviously, there was no malice involved but it has to be said that the USA system does not inspire confidence." |

I wanted to deliberately use an unflattering picture.
There is no actual picture of the incident the media simply used file pictures.
So i did the same, just i used this file picture.
Look my point is this - he voted for this and now he is a victim of it it serves him right.

So he believes in one law for Muslims in general, but exceptions for Muslims who happen to be parliamentarians.
I wonder if a recorded interview with him, perhaps by We Are Change or by our activists in West Yorks, would be in order?
It's all a bit reminiscent of public figures who are gay being outed because they insist on supporting anti-gay legislation or publicity. I say it would highlight the injustice of anti-Muslim discrimination to out him as a hypocrite. |

I followed the link and the same photo popped up on the other thread 
Shahid Malik is one of the old Labour bad guys. His dad was the Mayor and there is no doubt he was the beneficiary of nepotism.
