The latest case of barring Muslim families from entering the United States has attracted the UK PM’s attention.
A controversy that arose when a Muslim family was barred from boarding a flight from London to Los Angeles, ruining their planned vacation to Disneyland, triggered calls Wednesday for an investigation and more demands for an explanation.
MP Stella Creasy has publicized the case saying she is “concerned about the incident happening against British Muslims”.
Mohammad Tariq Mahmood, who was travelling with his brother and nine of their children, said the U.S. officials gave no explanation for refusing to allow them to board the flight. Mahmood told the Guardian that no officials had told them why their entry was barred, but he thinks the reason is “obvious”.
Mr Mahmood said he believes his family, of Walthamstow, east London, were stopped “because of the attacks on America – they think every Muslim poses a threat”.
He said that the airline told them that they would not be refunded the $13,340 cost of their flights.

Two days after Mahmood and his family were turned away, a well-known British imam, Ajmal Mansoor, was told his visa had been revoked and also was prevented from flying.
Creasy said she’s aware of a handful of other instances where muslims were denied US entry.
