Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is not a happy man after being detained for 2 hours at the Newark airport because his name came up on a watch list.
"Certain countries have issues with my name," Khan said afterward. "I am very proud of my name."
Khan called the US paranoid about Muslims. He neglected to mention that we're also paranoid about Christians like Barack Obama who we think are Muslims because their middle name is Hussein. Yup, pretty much, the name is all it takes.
Reports say Khan was freed after someone from the Indian consulate in New York came over to reassure the immigration goons that they hadn't captured the world's most fearsome terrorist, but a guy who plays heroic helicopter pilots and wacky alcoholics who will die if they have even one more drink. In movies where everyone sings and dances and there is always a little fat guy with a beard who is supposed to be funny but isn't.
