"A performer with the famed American Alvin Ailey dance troupe says he was twice forced to perform steps for Israeli airport security officers to prove his identity before he was permitted to enter the country.
Abdur-Rahim Jackson, an eight-year veteran of the African American dance ensemble, said he was singled out by Israel's renowned airport security because he has a Muslim name. He called the experience embarrassing and said at one point, one of the officers even suggested he change his name."
Could it possibly be because you were dressed like this?
This seems to be the only published photo in relation to the article, so I'm led to believe this is what you were wearing.I'd stop any man wearing this to find out what the hell you're up to!
Perhaps, had you dressed like you did for your excerpt in a PBS special,
you could of gone through security without a problem.
I don't think it was an issue of your name, Mr. Jackson, I think the real issue at hand was your choice of wardrobe.
