A British Muslim family heading for Disneyland was barred from boarding a flight to Los Angeles by US authorities at London's Gatwick airport amid concerns of an American overreaction to the perceived terrorist threat.
US Department of Homeland Security officials provided no explanation for why the country refused to allow the family of 11 to board the planeeven though they had been granted travel authorization online ahead of their planned 15 December flight.
Senior politicians have been drawn into the case, warning that a growing number of British Muslims are being barred from the US without being told the reason for their exclusion.
Aides to the prime minister, David Cameron, have promised that he will examine the case, which comes as a leading community group in the US has warned that Muslims are being subject to "an unprecedented and dramatic increase" in violent and hostile incidents. Advocates attribute this increase to the recent terror attacks in Paris and the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.
Comments by the Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump calling for a ban on all Muslims entering the US have also contributed to the tense atmosphere.
President Obama alluded to these comments in a speech earlier this month. "We betray our most noble past as well if we were to deny the possibility of movement, the possibility of progress, if we were to let cynicism consume us and fear overwhelm us," Obama said.
The case of the family from London who were turned back at the airport has been raised by the British Labour MP Stella Creasy, who believes a lack of information from US authorities is fuelling resentment within British Muslim communities.

Hard to believe.
So now there’s an internationally recognized right to go to the United States.
Which is the home of racism, sexism, and homophobia.
And this makes sense, to liberals.
They can afford to go to Disney?
Welcome to the secret No Fly list. Hey, here’s an idea, let’s use the same list to deny US citizens their constitutional rights to self defense.
Donald Trump calling for a ban on all Muslims entering the US have also contributed to the tense atmosphere.”
...no. The “tense atmosphere” is caused by the sheer presence of Muzzies. No need for anybody to be “tense” except the people causing the tension.
Bar all psychopathic killers (aka: moozlums) from the US. Merry Christmas!
Cry me a river you have no right to come here.
It appears that Donald Trump is having the effect of being President even before he is elected! The VA turned to when he talked to them, so maybe DHS is getting the clue as well. :-)
Who threw that!?
and
"He said that the airline told them that they would not be refunded the $13,340 cost of their flights. They were also forced to return everything they bought at the airport's duty-free shops before being escorted from the airport."
Even obumbles brought only his mother-in-law into the white mosque
A"family" of 11 begs the definition
Good On England !
I'm sure there's much more to this story than what we've got and I'll bet there will be no more coming.
"Sorry folks, park's closed."
Nobody really cares about the words racism, this-ism, that-ism anymore, it’s just a tool.
This is obama in action.
he personally denied this family entry to change the narrative. Just like when he denied the school children the white house tour during the government shut down.
there is no level too low to which he will not rise up to.
President Barack Hussein Obama - His administration has
evidently mounted a huge PR campaign aimed at getting
Muslim “refugees” from the Middle East herded quickly
into the U.S. in time to become Democrat voters and us
“bitter clingers” under control.
Hitlery heartily concurs. - Proper caution takes a back
seat to Hitlery & Hussein’s BIG HURRY.
Trump wisely recommended a MORATORIUM (temporary halt)
until proper procedures are insured to be taken.
I suspect there’s more to this story.
Muslims need not be mad at us. They should get mad at their jihadi brothers that are causing it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t another PC test with accompanying lawsuit to make sure we are sued to death... literally.
The US reserves the right to allow or deny access to the US for any foreign national, for any reason, or no reason at all.
If you, as a foreign national, have a problem with that, you can go suck it.
Our country, our rules. If you are not a US citizen, you have NO rights under the US Constitution. Virtually every other nation on the planet have the same rules, and the US is no different.
ABSOLUTLY WONDERFUL!!! Just because they SAY they want to go to Disneyland, look at the story of the San Bernadino shootings, the Boston Bombers, and others....
Trump isn’t even in office yet and look, people are starting to listen!!!
“THE FORCE AWAKENS”!!!
“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”!!!
its a fraud and set up
Watch Obama apologize profusely, use it to fire some people he wants fired, and create another round of social and media agitation.
