British Muslim family not allowed to travel to Disneyland from Gatwick airport

It is a strange story of a British Muslim family of eleven members who were on their way to Disneyland. They were prevented from flying to Los Angeles by US officials and, they refused to explain their actions. The individual hails from north-east London and was looking forward to the holiday in California - he was going with his brother and nine of their children. But - they were stopped at Gatwick Airport before they boarded the flight and prevented from leaving.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 23 December 2015.

It seems he had necessary permission that he had obtained online from US authorities, hence this actions is difficult to understand. He is the latest British Muslim to have reported being suddenly barred from getting on a transatlantic flight in spite of being in possession of authorization by US authorities online.
Prime Minister David Cameron has promised to examine the case once it was raised by Stella Creasy, the MP concerned.
The incident is of 17 December and the family has still not been any reason why they were not allowed to board the plane - they had plans to visit cousins and go to Universal Studios and Magic Kingdom. To add to their miseries, the family has not been refunded the £9,000 cost of their flights and they had to also return items they had purchased at duty-free stores.

Three British jihadi schoolgirls give everyone the slip and arrive in Raqqa

#BritishSchoolgirls #ISIS #Raqqa #Syria #London #ScotlandYard The three British schoolgirls who gave everyone the slip and fled to Syria to join Islamic State are believed to now be in a house in the city of Raqqa. The three of them had gone missing two weeks ago after they had boarded a flight from Gatwick to Istanbul. This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 9 March 2015.
Their journey to Syria has led to plenty of accusations and counter accusations among the authorities because it was an action that could have been prevented if the policing authorities had been more vigilant. From reports, the girls are believed to have crossed from Turkey to Syria through the town of Arai.
Moreover, the girls were reportedly staying with a British girl who is thought to be a pupil from the same school in east London and who had gone missing in December. She is believed to have joined IS.
From their actions it is evident that these girls view such escapades as a sort of picnic not knowing what actually is in store for them. They get carried away by the stories they read on various social websites that glorify the IS and paint a glowing picture of the goodies that are in store fir them once they break out of the shackles and join up.
When realization would dawn, it would be too late for them and others like them and they would be stranded in the point of no return.
As per Scotland Yard, at least 22 young women are feared to have travelled to Syria from the UK over the past 12 months. Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe has warned that the girls have been lured to Syria by IS and would face sexual abuse at the hands of ‘deeply misogynistic’ militants.
