Muslims sue US homeland security over border detentions
BEIJING, April 21 -- Five Muslim-Americans have sued the US Homeland Security Department alleging racial profiling.
They say it happened when they were detained and fingerprinted by border agents after returning from a religious conference in Canada.
The three men and two women say they were held, along with dozens of other US Muslims, for more than six hours and interrogated, photographed and fingerprinted against their will in December last year.
The lawsuit alleges that the plaintiffs were singled out after telling customs officials they had attended a "Reviving the Islamic Spirit" conference in Toronto.
The annual Islamic conference draws thousands of Muslims from Canada, the United States and overseas.
The suit charges that the government violated the group's constitutional rights to practice religion and performed unlawful searches.

So I guess there is no religious persecution anywhere else in the world. Most Muslim ruled countries don't detain you they just stone you. Hey it's a lot better her than where you fucking came from, otherwise you wouldn't be her.

Shame on you. IF US begins to do the same things like those countries do then we will have nothing to be proud of, would we? Are we competing with those Muslims countries to be assholes like them?
Holy cow, you are a moron. Stick to posting boobs and leave articles and commentary to people who have more than a fourth grade education and don't live in a trailer park.
by stating that comparison, you're suggesting religious persecutiion should be accepted here.
you're also treating those muslim americans as if they are guests in the u.s. whereas this is their home, as much theirs as yours.
This is for me (whoever you are),
I believe you've proven yourself to be a moron 4th grader with no regards for your fellow Americans. These are Americans with a different religion. Someone close to you could end up being a Muslim someday and would like to see them persecuted the way you're suggesting? What about all these talk of religious freedom and democracy that we talk about and try to sell to other countries? We should practice what we preach and that is not being a moron but that is being fair and intelligent (I guess your brain cannot comprehend that).
My comment was intended for the moron who posted the story, not to you georgie-boy.
