SRK was detained at Newark airport in United States and was question for over two hours. This hit the headlines in all national news channels in India, and upset the fans and government. But why I don't care, and why should I care for SRK. This happens with thousands of Muslims who enter the United States every year. Government and media don’t react then, so why so much hue and cry for SRK. It has happened with celebrities and politicians on number of occasions in past.
If United States believes that Muslims are threat to them and Indian government don’t protest for ordinary Indian Muslims who enter United States then why trust SRK and worry so much for him. He is a Bollywood Icon – so what? Prime Minister of Australia was accused of spying, this has happened with many leaders in past. So, if it is matter of security, no discounts, detain, question everyone, when common Muslims are harassed that way then please no discounts for SRK. If government believe this is the not the way to treat SRK then so is the case with hundreds of other Indians who enter United States. Detain, question and harass just because he / she belongs to a specific religious community has been a general practice at US airports.
9/11 was a failure of FBI and other security agencies (of USA), which they now are trying to cover-up with such indecent and unfriendly manner. This can be debated but the topic I am writing is on SRK detained on arrival at Newark. I hope incidents like this brings some sanity to governments across the world and they unit to protest against such discrimination, but for SRK, I really don’t care.
