Muslim teenager 'judged by Heathrow Airport staff'
BBC NEWS
An American Muslim was detained for 13 hours after flying into a UK airport because of her faith, she says.
Ayan Mohamud, 18, who arrived at Heathrow Airport, said she felt she was being "judged" in the wake of the Paris terror attacks.
"I wasn't expecting to be interrogated or held in a room for hours," said Ms Mohamud, who left the US for the first time, to visit family in Leicester.
The UK Border Agency (UKBA) said the checks were for immigration purposes.
The headline of this story attracted me as it shows the stereotypical views of todays generation since the attack on france, everyone seems to have it in their head that muslims are all terrorists which is really not the case. ISIS and the muslim religion are completely different and both share slight different beliefs. It just shows that everyone gets judged and stereotyped when they do nothing wrong.

ReplyDeleteThe inclusion of quotes and the headline is interesting and gives me clear context of the article. You also gave your opinion on the piece, and linked it to recent events. Although you included a source, you could improve by analysing it - what political affluence does BBC News have, if any? How does that affect how the article is worded?
