The arrest of the Muslim students in England was sad but was it
totally incorrect. I don't think so. The police were just doing their
job. Can they afford another Glasgow. This primarily is the difference
between the west and India. They can not compromise national security
and the life of hundreds who would have lost their "human rights" in
case there was a real plot, however for the sake of human rights of a
few we surely can. It better to be safe than sorry. Had their been a
plot,which still could be, would the human right activists and the
media come forward and defend the policemen of U.K. , drawing
attention to the fact that they were preventing the marginalization of
a few Muslims in the country, of course in the process that had to
sacrifice our own people. We still care for appeasement more than our
security. Just as a matter of fact the media who are calling the UK
police biased, are they themselves not prejudiced in calling it a
"terror plot that wasn't" with investigation still on the way. Coming
to the Muslim population, why is it that they time and again brazenly
create a clamor that they are being discriminated against. If they
really are citizens of the countries in which they are living is it
not their duty to cooperate with the law and order authorities for the
good of hundreds of citizens of their country. Why cant they see
themselves as Indians or English before Muslims. Are they too naive to
see the fact that it is natural for them to be the prime suspect since
almost all of the terror attacks are caused by people of their
community. How can they be oblivious to it. How are they any different
from main stream terrorists if they are also contributing to the
weakening of law and order situation. It is fact that you cant please
all the people all the time which I thnk our media needs to
understand.

Well, would you like to take an added obligation of proving yourself innocent just because some criminal shares the same surname as yours. The argument looks just and fair when it is applied on everyone else but me.
See the point here is about the priorities, what do I prioritize more security of the nation or convenience of a community, allegation on the members of which are not without reasons. US today never had any major attack since 9/11 while India is having a spate of them, US gave precedence to National Security and we chose the latter. And in my honest opinion we definately made a wrong choice.
I would be interested in understanding how National Security agencies function. Working in the direction of ensuring security with minimal inconvenience to all the members of a specific community would be in my wishlist. Technology can be a big enabler. National Security agencies would benefit from projects like UID Aadhaar.
