I see a report in the Torygraph saying that the entire group was NOT banned from travelling, as the claims of the group go, one of the adults had been banned from entering Israel and that one of the minors had links to terrorist websites on his facebook page.

Meanwhile, US Department of Homeland Security officials confirmed to CBS News on Wednesday that the incident occurred, but disputed allegations that all eleven family member were denied permission to board the flight.
A DHS source told CBS News that one of the brothers was refused entry into Israel two years ago, and his teenage son's Facebook account has links to terrorist websites.

Now, it is common for you to be refused entry to various countries if you have already been barred from entry to another country, and having any sort of links to terrorist websites on your facebook, for whatever reason, is frikking stupidity in the highest degree.
Now that tells me that they were not refused entry as a group, but two were due to their own actions. It also tells me that this had eff all to do with them being muslim, and everything to do with previous actions by two of the group.
So you can huff and you can puff as much as you like, but in this case it looks like you're barking up the wrong tree
Looks more like the same old feeling that the Muslim chap in the news was trying to inflame the unfounded issue of Muslims being victimized.
I'm not trying to be PC, simply measured. I think that things are going too far with people being terrified to speak the truth. Moderate Muslims need to step up to the plate and either support and facilitate being inclusive or not. It's an unfortunate fact that the public in the west is being manipulated by the shouty bearded types, in so much as the public won't generally say what they feel, as they will be branded either a racist or victimizing Muslims.
Yet again, a cry from someone who claims to be victimized makes international news. Now it comes to light that there were links from his IP address to radical Islam. Well done the USA for denying him entry. What pees me off is that true injustice gets eclipsed by the shouty bearded types claiming victimization.
It's now become fashionable and in some cases a knee jerk reaction to stand behind any perceived injustice towards a Muslim regardless of the facts.
Equality and inclusiveness is what makes us different from the psychopathic apocalyptic death cult that ISIS truly is. Unfortunately, that very value is being used against us. Fortunately in the west you have freedom of speech but I find it harmful, to say the least, when people get dragged into a perceived and und unfounded claim of ... It's because he is Muslim.
