Innocents don\\\'t scream
by Indian on Aug 25, 2006 12:40 AM  Permalink 

If there so called relatives are innocents than they don\\\'t have to worry they will come back. Police is doing their job. Police is worried about innocent people being killed without any fault. If they are your relatives, we have our relatives too who have lost thier life by the hand of terrorist. we never screamed like you. What if we start screaming like you on death of our relatives. Your are just detained and they have to just prove their innocency. So beard man dont forget one of your community man does bad it looks bad of all of you. So guide your people not to follow Koran blindly.

Disgusting attitude
by Ayan Roy on Aug 25, 2006 12:00 AM  Permalink 

I find this high handedness of the Dutch Authorities extremely shocking. Twelve innocent traders are being detained just on the basis of suspicion because they had beards and were Muslims. The paranoia of the Europeans has really gone too far.
In fact this undercurrent of racial fear, hatred and suspicion is making the overall situation even worse. These sort of events, occuring chronically, make the members of the particular community being targeted even more indignant, and hence more prone to "sympathizing" with the "terrorists".
Well, if one group cannot show basic respect and tolerance towards another community and cannot intermix with them freely, amicably and without fear, how can they expect to be respected and tolerated in return? Those who are truly superior win the hearts of people with love, compassion, wisdom, understanding, and forgiveness; not with fear, exploitation, isolation and imprisonment. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and the Europeans must realize that..otherwise the situation will degrade into a vicious circle and spiral out of control.. causing terrible harm and destruction.

Mid air discipline
by Somu on Aug 24, 2006 11:52 PM  Permalink 

Having beard is not a matter at all. These men were lacking in certain mid air discipline like using cell phones, laptops, wandering here and there and not heading to requests to be seated. They might have been really suspicious, though they might be ignorant. Flying high is not important but having some discipline ...certainly is. At least next time they behave as well mannered Indian Citizens.

Fools
by Shashank Gaitonde on Aug 24, 2006 11:35 PM  Permalink 

I think security personnel at Amsterdam are fools who detained 12 Indians over trivial matter. Relatives of detained Indians say that they were very excited and doing fun because they were returning home after many days. Yes of course even if they are terrorist (actually they are not) they have every right to do fun ! In that fun if they overdo things and might have drunk what difference does it make ? Due to their misbehaviour if the flight made to the ground or explode, what happens ? All will die. It is a shame that everybody criticises Muslim community even if in every news item there is at least one Muslim involved. Terrorists don't have a religion. So if they are Muslims what difference does it make ? Why should all community be blamed.

Who is responsible
by Abhinav on Aug 24, 2006 11:16 PM  Permalink 

Keeping a 'beard' is not a sin, but it does 1. identifies you as a muslim and 2. identifies you as a hardcore muslim. The latter is not having a great reputation these days.

Keeping a beard after your own taste is fine but keeping it because of a dictat by a 7th century AD guy is definitely on the foolish side, even if acceptable. Ever thought why 11 muslims sitting together makes people uneasy? Yes, the terrorists get away because people like you don't believe your son can be one. OK, he may not be one but you supported Ishrat when she was killed in firing in Gujarat, didn't you? You must have cursed Modi, right? You must have said then, too, that she was an innocent muslim. Only truth turned out to be otherwise as the beans were spilt. She WAS a terrorist.
By the way, your son is into garments, fine. Why were the other muslims with him? Were they his partners in work? OK, fine, but in a country with 12% muslims (as you claim), how come all 11 were muslims? And then you don't agree that you are ghettoised.
