People have argued that the undermining of certain human rights to combat terrorism unnecessarily focuses on Muslims, and that this is a generalisation of Muslims as terrorists. Where lies the greatest generalisation, in western anti terror laws geared towards Muslims or the Islamic fundamentalists belief that all westerners are capitalists, infidels and the enemy?

Perhaps it's because Muslims seem to say one thing and do another. They hide their true beliefs to evade "prosecution". It's called al-taqiyya, and it's quite popular. They talk about how their religion means "peace" and then when someone critisizes their religion, they burn down embassies, curse people, and put multi-million dollar bounties on their heads. It's the whole WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING idea.

amazing how the few can taint the whole isnt it but the measures are there to protect and im sure if any other countries residents took offence and started terrorist problems they would be treated the same,,it does increase the hatred but most people are not stupid enough to believe all muslims are the same and share the same views,,the innocent must be protected at any cost and the same should be said from a muslim prospective but lets face it,there will always be biggots and people who judge all the same

There are people who will argue that one aspect of these underminded human rights: profiling young, single Muslim men at airports is draconic. However, one can argue that, by the numbers, it's the safest thing to do. Tricky situation, innit? Two wrongs, of course, seldom make a right.

That's like asking which eye you'd prefer punched in. They're both terrible constraints on the human condition. Neither side wins while this escalates. Ideologies win by opposing each other, not by trying to outdo each other in the same race. Fundamentalism of all kind will not be defeated by the restriction of civil liberties, it will be emboldened.

I don't suppose the saying "Two Wrongs don't make a Right" would possibly apply? Ther is wrongdoing on BOTH sides there. I don't think it's possible to point fingers at one without considering the actions of the other.

Narrow mindedness goes both ways. If they all listened to the Budda things would be much better. Before the Taliban became our "enemy" they were blowing up ancient Buddas.

Excellent point AaronO! Personally I like to take any individual, any colour race creed, for what they are, as individuals.

both just as bad.
same ideology and way of thinking. i've heard people suggesting Nuking the middle east and wiping out the entire Muslim population just because they dont like them.
now tell me that's not a radical way of thinking.
