For 40 minutes owing to "airport rules and regulations" He felt "humiliated." Happily none of his fellow cricketers had to face the same humiliation.

England's Moen Ali was detained at Airport..
In reply to Emir
I actually quipped about the others being upset with him, for holding them up at airports...trying to be funny.
Wow...
This new reality is something else..
Despite admitting to have been taken aback at the questions, the diminutive but spunky Chanderpaul reacted to the incident in a manner typical of his several brave batting innings
How shiv come in this ?
Have never been stopped at the airport when travelling with a team in uniform, but travel alone and get stopped for 40 minutes!! Joke
40 mins seem too long...obviously he must have identified himself as an England cricketer early...
In the context of current terrorist threats all over...Moeen Ali could expect more of this...especially when half his face is hidden by a beard
In reply to Narper
That was racism or jealousy by a fellow Guyanese,against a Guyanese great,like the skunt didn't know Shiv Chanderpaul.
In reply to Tagwa1What reality - it's just the return of overt racism. 'My white culture' or the highway. Mankad them in every sphere.
In reply to granite
On the contrary, there are security guards right here in Jamaica who do not recognize Courtney Walsh.
Lots more folks than you and I care to mention don't follow cricket. She's know Lebrun though.

Apparently the young female immigration officer never heard of or did not know what Shiv looked like

The high profile PM of SVG Ralph Gonsalves was once treated undiplomatically at the Grantley Adams Airport in Barbados but he didn't create a big deal about it. Of course the personnel involved were embarrassed when they found out his identity.
In reply to Chrissy
Hanging with Shiv?
In reply to Emir
Just ask him to shave his beard and all will be well..
In reply to gvenkat

In reply to gvenkat
Suddenly, all these blokes want to make a political statement regarding their religion by growing a goady long beard....I don't get it!
they used to ruffle Rastaman too (maybe they still do) because of dreadlocks
it's just current flavor of month
In reply to BeatDball

The same Moeen Ali who felt integrated into the English culture and chided Indians in Britain to get behind the England team.. The Roots of England will never let him feel ibtegrated ..
In reply to gvenkat
Message is clear..if you are a belong nowhere skunt ,take your licks and chill a d stop lecturing..
In reply to Babylon
the guys with the bomb never look like that, only the preachers!
In reply to camos
Don't give ideas to Emir and HalliVeil
I'm all for racial profiling.
In reply to Curtis
Wtf did you just post.
In reply to Khaga
These bearded mofos are worst at crying wolf..
In reply to Devin
the problem with profiling is that it tends to affect the innocent more that it disrupts the people you looking for.
It's only fair I guess
I admit to being the first one to pigeon hole an Indian, who wears dress pants, short sleeved plaid and sneakers, with a back pack.
Those types smell a lot like pickle.
In reply to camos
You see how Ali is an international cricketer? Now that certainly doesn't mean he isn't capable of some dubious activities, but what would be the reason to question him for 40 minutes?
Someone looks suspicious, do your background check, ask a few pertinent questions, and you're on your way. 5-10 minutes, any longer than that and it means that you have good reason to suspect the individual of a crime.
In reply to camos
Is de preachers me worry bout.
Would terrorists draw attention to themselves by attempting to go through western airport sporting mammoth beards ?
In reply to cricketmad
They bringing den fuckin camel mentality and uncivilized terrorism to Innocent Haard wukkin people drinking dem coffee pon a afternoon. wot more de fckers would not do.
Allyuh just a bunch of shameful skunts... Allyuh realize de man was traveling England to England? How the fuck de man was single out in his own country? You think them Fcuking serial murders go through the same security?
It's because of his free Palenstine logo he wore that is still haunting him.
In reply to Babylon
Why they have camel mentality? Is it because you too fucking of a idiot to separate what are before you?
In reply to Halliwell
Look, I am going to try not to, piss anyone off but these guys know, fully well, that people in Europe are on edge, why flame the fire? Cut the freaking beard off!
At least, try not to look like Bin Laden.
In reply to WestDem

Allaho Akbar
In reply to Runs Dem too! I'll be trembling in meh bukta!
In reply to BeatDball
Don't get baited into stereotyping people like the skunts on here bro, you are a good guy.
Admin, push this to the backroom sah.
Seems like there's a lot of Fox news loyalists on this board. A man can't even grow a beard without y'all goading on your white masters to lynch him.
Of course it's no good telling you folks that in our history, the real terrorism had been done to us by the clean shaven boy next door all American type, and NOT guys who look like Amla or Moeen.
In reply to Runs
Do you know the story of Yusuf Islam British pop singer AKA Cat Stevens? ... He got his fair share of scrutiny when he travelled and complained
In reply to WestDem
Well said.
Mos of the these folks on here will be the first to whine like babies if they're profiled in some other way because they're black or brown.
As long as people continue to commit terrorist acts:
De authorities will continue to try to make de place safe.
I am a cop with a strong Bajan ascent.
I got search leaving Jamaica from a Drug Course.
Did it bother me, fack no.
Dem was doing dem job an i know i am clean.
I got detained for over two hours in Miami Airport
coming from a Drug Course on another occasion.
Missed my connection flight and delayed me.
I missed my planned shopping time in New York
Did it bother me, fack no.
Dem was doing dem job an i know i am clean.
I got searched and dug up coming from Texas on a PhD residency.
Did it bother me, fack no.
Dem was doing dem job an i know i am clean.
I got dug up and searched on many occasions.
I carry my police badge in my pocket and I never used it.
Authorities do their work to stop smugglers,
terrorist, criminal on the run etc..
Some go overboard, I will admit.
But If they can detain a cop (me) for over 2 hours
BTW..at anytime i could have pulled my cop badge and
state who i am to get out quick.
But why should i when i know dem doing their job.
I do not commit crime,
I do not carry packages from anyone (travelling)
I do not smuggle drugs.
I am not a terorist.
I am a simple cop traveling when i feel like or for work.
I have many contacts and work associations with Homeland Security etc,
and never used them to bail me out.
I dont need to as I am clean.
I love that people are working to make us safe.
I actually do that job to make you safe.
A lot of you ungrateful bastards cuss
authorities for doing the job....
But what happens when we fail,,,
A plane crashes,,
People shoot people in malls etc..
People commit suicide bombings etc....
You cant have it both ways.
Terrorist do not carry signs saying
look at me, I'm going to blow u up etc..
I side with authorities on this.
Fack Ali. At least he got home safe.
In reply to TanteMerle Well said mr pOalice (treeknees n inner city folks` pronunciation) officer. Now, everybloody will stand easy.
It's the shaven ones they need to worry about!
In reply to Emir
Birmingham airport...it's a regular occurrence for people of Asian origin in the UK, and even more so if you have a Muslim name.
Racial profiling happens often in the UK....
In reply to mikesiva My uncle exited Birmingham in the 70s bcoz of racism. His two sons, guyneez + jewmaycan, were born there!
In reply to mikesiva
Racial profiling of any kind,be it in New York, New Delhi or Uk, is wrong and ineffective as a deterent to crimes.
Many IN Here Who stupidly support the authorities in the Moen Ali affair will scream murder when young African American men are stop and frisk by police in the USA, for the crime of being black when driving.
In reply to Verstehen
Mos of the these folks on here will be the first to whine like babies if they're profiled in some other way because they're black or brown.
Look, no one wants to be profiled but if members of a particular race (my race included) presented such an imminent danger to society, by all means, profile me.
