Racially Profiled
by zen s. bhatia on Aug 26, 2006 01:20 AM

Being a Muslim and living in the USA and has traveled recently, I would like to advice my Muslim brothers and sisters that after the 9/11 and Bush Wars in Iraq, Palestine and Lebanon, the status of Muslims have been changed in the Western World. If you look like Muslims (many Hindus and Sikhs too), you are targeted by the security cameras, security guards and their computers.
It would be in the best interest of Muslims to be more careful and peaceful rather than react or over-react when some one asked them anything. They must carry all relevant documents with them and show them at once before the security demand. Over and above, they must follow all the new rules and be prepared to follow more orders if they are asked. If not necessary do not travel in Air until the American politics is calm down.
