Travesty Affects Indian Movie Star Shah Rukh Khan

The Brad Pitt of Bollywood was shown very little respect last week when he was detained at Newark Airport for 2 hours on suspect of being a terrorist. Actor Shah Rukh Khan who was in town to attend an Indian cultural show in Chicago and promote his upcoming film My Name is Khan was diverted by airport security upon his arrival and held for questioning on the premise that his luggage was missing. This is very unfortunate considering that in every other country, other than America, Mr. Khan is one of the biggest Movie stars in the world. He has had more hit movies than Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Leonardo Di Caprio combined. America should be ashamed about their hypocrisy and lack of intelligenc on this matter. I thought we lived in the land of freedom where we no longer racially profiled? Had airport security simply googled the superstars name millions of hits would have registered to inform them of who he was. In protest many Bollywood Actors have stated that they will no longer come to America until Mr. Kahn is issued an apology. We should not assume that because someone has a muslim last name they are a terrorist! Is this what America has come to?
