Help me understand this one,,,, The biggest movie star in India, Shan Rukh Khan, the Indian Brad Pitt, being detained for over a hour in Newark. Now where I am having a problem is why would you detain this man and his family, a man who is loved and respected all over the world, and yes he is a Muslim, but that is not a case for being treated like this.

So, lets screw with this guy while another hundred or so Mexican Nationals come across our southern borders. Detaining this man is has stupid as Michael Savage being on the UK's Terrorist List. What the hell happen to Common Sense here??? I mean, do we need to making more enemies around the world?

NEW DELHI - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan said Tuesday he will cut back on visits to the United States, especially with his family, after he was questioned by immigration officials at a New York-area airport.
Khan was taken aside at Newark's Liberty International Airport on Friday for what officials said was routine questioning. They denied he was formally detained, saying the incident lasted barely more than an hour and was prolonged only because his bag had been lost by the airline.
But the questioning set off outrage in India, where politicians, sports celebrities and film stars regularly receive VIP treatment at airports. Angry fans burned a U.S. flag and protested what they saw as ill-treatment of a beloved star, and politicians called for an investigation.
The Muslim actor was promoting his latest film, "My Name is Khan," about racial profiling after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Khan told reporters Tuesday after returning to Mumbai that the incident had been "blown out of proportion." But he said the questioning — which included requests for the names of people who could vouch for him — embarrassed him.
He said he will travel to the U.S. less frequently.
"Of course I will visit the U.S. if I have to go for my work. But I will go less often. If I have three things to do, I will club them together and go just once," he said. "And certainly, I wouldn't like to travel with my family to the U.S."
Khan, 44, appealed to fans to stop protesting.
"Let's put this behind us, think positively and move ahead," he told fans during a news conference.
Khan has acted in around 70 movies in a career spanning two decades. He has consistently topped popularity rankings in India for the past several years.
