American Muslims are incensed at the detention by officials of a German businessman of Syrian descent who was trying to visit his American wife and daughter in California.
Authorities detained Majed Shehadeh, 62, for four days in a Las Vegas cell before sending him back to Germany.
An American customs official said he was denied entry because of "a criminal record or terrorism issue."
American Muslims charged officials with discriminating against Muslims.
