80-year old jazz pianist can't get paid because his name sounds terrorist-y

80-year old jazz pianist can't get paid because his name sounds terrorist-y: "The U.S. government is reportedly blocking 80-year-old jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal from receiving payment for a music fest in Switzerland, because his name sounds too Muslim. Other professional musicians with Muslim names have reported similar problems. Jamal is literally a jazz master. This is ridiculous. (via Ned Sublette)
