#1 Not much in the way of details is there? Did they have a visa?

Note that having a U.S. Visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. The immigration officer at the point of entry (in this case New York) has the final say and can refuse entry (as I recall they dont even have to give a reason).

This is for everyone and has been this way for many years.

#2 They now plan to take steps to recover their costs.

Class action 'lawsuit'?

LOL...

#3 Maybe they have been seen hobnobing with jihadis, or have been observed making inflamatory sermons. Obviously they are on someone's s--t list, which is good.

#4 I googled Moosa Suleman, then tried Musa Suleman and found a scam "request to use your bank account letter." Here is the link. Translating Arabic names into english may be a challange, but we may never know how these two chaps got on the s--t list.

#5 At every US Embassy in the world, there is at least one person who scans the local press, to add to the database of persons hostile to America. Nobody gets shit-listed without a valid reason.

"Musa" = "Moses"

#6 Sounds kind of like the State department (embassy - consulate) said 'oh - Ok!' and the INS / Homeland Security (New York) said 'Whoa!'.
