America's Brown Shirts are loose now — "What religion are you?"

What "real" American would screw with someone named Mohammed Ali Jr?

 

Perhaps the Mainstream is overreacting, but stories about abominable treatment at U.S. Customs and Border Protection are all over the place these days.

 

Take this account regarding Mohammed Ali's son:

 

 

Customs officers detained Muhammad Ali Jr. at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Feb. 7 as he and his mother, Khalilah Camacho-Ali, returned to the U.S. from Jamaica.

 

They were heading to the baggage claim, Ali said, when “the guy from immigration pulled me aside and asked me my name.”

 

Ali recalled, “I was like, “OK, my name is Muhammad Ali,’ and he asked me, ‘What is your religion?’”

 

“I was like, ‘Why would you even ask me what my religion is?’” Ali continued:

 

I said, ‘I’m Muslim,’ and it was like he didn’t believe me because he took me in a backroom and asked me the same questions again. So I answered them and I was like, ‘What is this all about?’

 

Ali said officers would only tell him, “We’re checking something.”

 

“I was like, ‘OK, but I was waiting an hour and 45 minutes for you to check something,’” he said, adding that the officers split him and his mother up and he was worried about her.

 

Muhammad Ali Jr., 44, was carrying a U.S. passport at the time of his detention. He has no criminal record.

 

He and his mother said they travel extensively and have never been profiled like this before.

Don't believe that?

 

One of my military friends had to get in Customs' face, when one of its agents suggested that he needed a visa to get into the country that he defends with his life.

 

Are you kidding me?

 

Who let these human dregs loose to parade their badge-heavy lack of brains?

 

 

In short

 

We've got a white totalitarian in the White House, so I guess it's okay to burn the American Constitution and behave like we're preparing for the equivalent of Krystallnacht.

 

With President Trump's fond encouragement — from under evidence of America's long moral decay, of which he is representative — slithers our own (home-grown) Nazi-Stalinist slime.

 

 

The moral? — Is this the kind of totalitarian place you want to live?

 

I'll be indulging former General James Mattis' favorite pastime, if we continue this course.
