wassalam:smile:
 
Does anybody know if this was in any public news sources? The name of the air port or the date?
 
is this about Javaid?

If yes, den yeah bro woody.
 
Muslima,

Marhaba. In the articles I've read, & the one you posted, there was no mention of the child being searched. I've heard of the tribulations suffered by other folks in the US who have the same name as a suspect when they try to fly. It just plain sucks to have the same name of someone suspected of plotting mass murder.

Gig 'em,

Agreed, there is nothing about him being searched, or indeed not being released when it became apparent he obviously wasn't the man 'on the list'. The 7 year old wasn't a 'suspect' - he was just mistaken for someone who was because they unfortunately share the same name. You can't tell how old someone is from their name on a passenger list.

Heres another article

A SEVEN-year-old boy has been left traumatised after being stopped as a possible terror suspect three times by airport staff.

Javaid Iqbal's family even missed their flight home from America because of the confusion, caused because his name matched that of a terror suspect.

The case has shocked a Muslim community leader, who said stopping a young boy was ridiculous.

And a anti-terrosim expert said security services should strike the right balance in counter terrorism measures without upsetting people unnecessarily.

Javaid, of The Pastures, Blackburn, said: "I'm only at a young age and being named a terrorist is wrong."

Javaid went to Florida for a holiday as a treat after passing his exams at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Blackburn.
And he was accompanied by his mum NaushabaNadeem, 35, and her three other children Sana, nine, Fareeha, nine, and Iftikhar, five .

But they were held up for three hours at Manchester Airport, one and half hours at Orlando International Airport and a further two hours Philadelphia International Airport on the way home, which resulted in them missing their flight.

His name was blocked and raised a security alert on each airport's computer system, set up by Homeland Security, a US security organisation set up to protect against terrorism.

Naushaba(correct), a GP at Great Harwood Medical Centre, Water Street, said: "When we arrived at the front counter to check in at Manchester Airport, the airport staff said there was a security block on Javaid's name.

"I understand and agree security checks are important but he is seven and a half years old.

"We had to stand at the desk for three hours while they checked everything out.

"Eventually, everything was fine and we were given our boarding passes.

"But then it happened again at Orlando Airport and then Javaid's name was blocked again at Philadelphia Airport.

"This time they had cancelled our tickets by the time they gave Javaid security clearance.

"I was all on my own, I don't know anyone in Philadelphia.

"I was tired and weary, and I started crying.

"We have never had a problem before.

"We flew to Tenerife for a holiday in December last year and we had no problems.

"When we got home me and my husband talked about changing Javaid's name so he wouldn't have problems in the future.

"The system should cross reference the name then a date of birth, or some other information."

Javaid, whose passport now contains a stricker saying he has undergone high-level security checks, said: "All this was about my name, they said that it had a block on it.

"We felt scared. I havent done anything against the law."

The family moved to Blackburn from Saudi Arabia in 2002. They flew by american airline, US Airways, from Manchester Airport to Florida via Philadelphia for eight days.

Javaid's dad, Nadeem Iqbal, 48, a consultant anaesthetist based in Burnley General Hospital, said: "My son is psychologically traumatised by this experience and said he doesn't want to fly to America again."

Salim Mulla, secretary of the Lancashire Council of Mosques, said: "It is ridiculous, I'm shocked.

"They really should have known he was only a seven year-old child.

"I can understand the safety aspect but it doesn't help relationships with different faiths.

"Somethings we do feel we are being singled out. I do understand the reasons but this was over the top."

Professor Eric Grove, director of the Centre for International Security and War Studies at Salford University, said: "There are names on file which are checked and there are certain names in combination or singly which put people under scrutiny.

"Intelligence based analysis has been used to compile the list but it is unlikely a seven-year-old child is a suicide bomber.

"I think there must be a right balance to counter terrorism without alienating people."

Manchester Airport declined to commentand Homeland Security were unavailable.

That's terrible.
 
thats why im never traveling to america, Allah knows how many times im going to get stoped, with my name (my real name is not Salaam by the way)
 
Just shows how stupid these people are...They're soiling themselves with fear. ;D

'Those people' would have looked even more 'stupid' if they hadn't stopped the actual terrorist suspect, who then proceeded to hijack the plane and fly it into a building full of people.
 
1) The thread title is wrong, He wasn't "thought to be a terrorist", his name was on a watch list.

2) "Just shows how stupid these people are...They're soiling themselves with fear. Why is it that Muslims are always feared? We never did nothin' to no one ...
Totally, absolutely, ridiculous!"
Perhaps this poster has just awakened from suspended animation after a long space flight? Need I say more?

3) The article says at one point he was alone, but his father was with him in Manchester??? If he were truly alone and were stopped, that is very unfortunate, as it would frighten a child. Something is wrong with the story, it seems.

4) The problem has been apparently solved with a passport modification.

5) Richard Reid was stopped once by French authorities..then he was allowed to board the next day.

6) The idiots at Homeland Security ban box cutters and flammable liquids from airplanes. You sometimes have to take your shoes off now. Idiots, huh?

7) Does anyone doubt for one minute there are those, even now, who would want to kill as many Americans and Brits as possible in the most newsworthy fashion possible? Do you really think they will try the same technique? Do you really think they give a **** about how old the victims are? Either you try to design a system to stop would be murderers before they get on a plane (or into the country) or you just accept the consequences. Either the net is too fine or it is too porous. Which do you think makes more sense? If you want to talk about the most rational screening system, then you are talking about profiling. Is that what you want? Do you want security asking what religion the passenger believes in? The Israeli system is much better (more secure). Is that what you want? You want to get on an El Al flight as an Arab Muslim you better be ready for some serious questioning.

From my point of view, if there are fewer Saudi visitors to Disneyland because of secuirty issues...tough ****, that is just the way it has to be for now. Of course, I could be wrong. Perhaps the nation that landed men on the moon is all comprised of idiots.
 
why as usual do the westerners start changing the topic? the topic is a 7 year old boy being stopped because of having a similar name as a supposed terrorist, why start changing the subject into other incidents and so on? as usual these westerners can never stick to one thing but have to dance around the tree bringing up all other topics which have NOTHING to do with this incident of a 7 year old boy being stopped.

so rather than going on rants about other terrorists and stopping them to save ppl or not stopping them which results in deaths why dont you comment on this 7 year old boys incident or just dont make a single comment?

they want to justify everything they do always making excuses, then they say no thats muslims doing it! they stop and arrest innocent Muslims then they make excuses oh well we have to because we must make sure its okay. they torture innocent Muslims and then make the same excuse, they now stop A 7 YEAR OLD BOY and they still make the same excuse! perhaps u guys are truly as stupid as those ppl on jerry springer to even assume that a 7 year old boy could pose any threat to you! or perhaps your even more stupid to try and justify it!

hey trumble!

HEY!!

TRUUMBLE!!!


ok that shouting shud hav woken you up a bit, just wanted to inform you, the kid was 7 YEARS OLD :D
 
oh boy, Mr. Thread Hijacker/Off-topic'er complain now about beeing off-topic? ROFL !!

Now well, I understand the staff of the airport. I saw on pictures how terrorist fighters even use children as shields, wrap dynamite on belts on 2 years old kids.
When the airport security has now clear orders, so well, let them do.

If I would be the parents of that kid, I would be upset too, but when every misunderstanding would have been clarified, I would understand it, and be even happy, the security is really on top and give very tiny room to terrorits.
So stop the drama and blame again the whole west. Always this superlativ thinking and generalizing... tsk tsk tsk
Last time, I stand at the airportin Paris Charles-de-Gaulles, with my mom, and on the airplane ticket was written the wrong name of my mom, the staff also hold us back for several time. But I don't blame therefor all the muslims and think immediately about conspiracy theories.

And perhaps you should stop an take a careful look at your own contribution before throwing the word 'stupid' around. Try actually reading the previous posts. It has been made perfectly clear that nobody thought a 7 year old "could pose any threat". He was unfortunate enough to be confused with an adult terrorism suspect because he shared the same name. That confusion ended, on each occasion, as soon as whoever it was with the authority to release him took a look at him.

If you are wondering why he was stopped at all when so obviously only a child, it's worth considering that 'terrorism suspect' is not the only reason somebody's name might be on the 'stop at the airport' list. Think about it.

I appreciate it may be difficult for you, but you too should try reading and trying to understand the previous posts. It simply didn't matter how old he was.. except maybe he got released rather quicker than if he had been around the same age as the actual suspect. They were following instructions to pull anybody with a certain name. I have suggested above why that would not exclude children.

these people are hopeless shout at them with speakers and they wont get it through their heads, they want to justify all their wrong-doings, then they tell Muslims why dont you condemn anything?!!!!!!!!!!!

and anyway i dont think us Muslims should be laughing about this incident, what exactly is so funny about this? dont you see whats going on? or are you too blind to face reality and want to keep living in darkness? a Muslim kid was stopped at three different airports, delaying his time by several hours and hours, now think of Palestine, in Palestine what are the zionists doing? with their checkpoints they humiliate and stop several innocent people delaying them for hours and hours upon hours!

what you are seeing now are very similar such checkpoints except they dont look the same, and they are now international and not in Palestine alone. over time these airport stops will get worst, they will stop a Muslim baby one day u just wait and see, and then they will even go further they will start stopping Muslims on the street which is what their already planning to do in London, it will keep going more and more until you will find yourself in the exact same shoes of palestinians and iraqis being stopped at checkpoints like dogs. they are placing international checkpoints on us Muslims and what do we do?

we laugh, we dont even notice it, or no even worst some of us will also try to brush the issue aside by saying "oh its a simple mistake im sure they didnt mean to do it and these guys are good ppl" BLA BLA BLA how many more mistakes and errors will they have to do until you the Muslim get it through your skull that there is an actual sinister plan being done against Muslims? perhaps when you become the victim or your familly does then maybe you will wake up?

you can call this paranoia but you know im right because EVERYTHING I JUST SAID is true.

last but not least the only reason why they are able to do these things against us Muslims is because of the sorry state we are in, look at us,,,, a Muslim kid is humiliated and traumitized and what is our reaction? :

A- we dont care

B- we laugh about it

C- we just make a small silly remark saying "we hope this doesnt happen again" (very strange when it happens everyday)

so really Muslims start waking up instead of being wilfully blind and acting like nothings going on and that yes we and the west are all in love and standing side by side as good ole buddies, cause were not.....

i mean this forum is a perfect example of you to see this, for instance this forum has the most moderate non-Muslim people you will find, compared to others on ***************** and jihadwatch.org and other similar sites, yet these same non-Muslims contiously insult Islam, Muslims, and justify all their criminal actions against Muslims and even call for more.... and these are the moderate ones when put in comparison with the others on the neo-con websites! and then you Muslims want to keep telling yourself that no not all westerners are the same, etc etc. now im not saying all westerners are bad, indeed there are good ones, but we Muslims should stop acting like heyyyyyy the westerners who hate us and Islam etc are in the minority! cause thats false, they are in the majority, and you should realize that.

and this isnt irrelevent to the thread topic, all of this is connected with the thread topic, infact everything i just said is summed up by what happened to this innocent 7 year old Muslim boy........

im sry if i sounded a bit rude, thanks for not retalliating in the same manner :).


you see i find this even more of a problem, the fact that someone would say "ANYBODY" and the people who heard the instructions taking it to mean kids aswell, i mean if the person giving the instructions did infact mean kids aswell then this again is a big problem with the security... its too much! Its going to make the people uncomfortable, everybody's going to be more suspicious, islamaphobia will only rise more...
 
I call it paranoia.

Not all westeners hate muslims neither Islam. In fact, it may be only a bunch. I don't know where you get this ! But then again, why am I surprised? You think, one westener is bad, so they be all bad, but then you complain, when you notice that other people think the same about Islam and muslims?
You seem to be very misinformed about us.
Beeing delayed at an airport, even a trainstation or a busstop can be sucking, for sure. But at the end, when it is for the right cause, for SECURITY, I don't laugh at all.
I told ya already, I have understanding for the father, but hey, he should be mad at those who fly airplanes full of innocents in buildings and not at the security staff at the airport ! That is the reason, why the security is so high !

I think you may have missed my earlier point. It isn't "kids as well" in the sense that it is thought children might be terrorists, it's kids as well because there are reasons why you stop children (of any religion) at airports. Kidnappings are the obvious example, but the most common one is probably children being taken out of the country by one parent when the other has legal custody. It's far better to stop somebody and resolve the matter later, even if some relatively minor inconvenience is involved, than risk either a terrorist getting on a plane OR a kidnapped child disappearing never to be seen again.
