Daily Mail: Facebook page linked to Taliban and Al Qaeda was registered to same address as British Muslim father whose Disneyland trip was blocked by Homeland Security
* Mohammad Tariq Mahmood tried to travel from Gatwick Airport to LA
* He, his brother and nine children were stopped on the orders of the US
* Mr Mahmood says the family were barred 'because we are Muslim'
* He dismissed Facebook account claiming links to Al Qaeda and Taliban
* It was set up by someone who has lived at the family's postal address
A British Muslim father whose planned Disneyland trip was ruined when he and his family were barred from boarding a flight to the U.S. has now been forced to distance himself from a Facebook account claiming links to Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Mohammad Tariq Mahmood, 41, his brother and their children, aged between eight and 19, said they were stopped at the departure gate at Gatwick airport and told their visas to the US had been revoked.
He claimed the family were barred from flying 'because they are Muslim'.
However, it has since emerged that a Facebook page claiming links to radical Islamist groups was set up by someone who has lived at the family's postal address, according to ITV News.
WNU Editor: The person who set up this account has the same first name of the 18 year old son in this family, and the address that was used is also where this family lives. And while this appears to be more of a prank that has gone all wrong, what I find interesting about this case is that it appears that the U.S. is reading the social media accounts of people in other countries .... and making judgement calls when it comes to those who wish to travel to the U.S..
