Religions are aimed at creating a good civilized society, and also to take individual human beings to the highest level, of union with God. So, any bad act done in the religion is not the mistake of the religion, but of the person(s) misusing it. Terrorism has also to be seen in this context. Why should anyone feel bad when people are arrested and punished for terrorists acts? Why should people raise a hue and cry when strong laws like POTA are enacted to curb terrorism, which is an inhuman, cowardly and heartless act killing non-suspecting innocents including infants? This attitude of going soft on heartless criminals, in the name of religion, is the curse of this nation! It is very much possible that in the course of investigations, etc. a few innocents will be put to some trouble. That does not mean that investigations and mechanisms to curb terrorist acts should be stopped, or minimised. When there is any sort of trouble, it is quiet natural that some innocents will be put to some trouble. Police officers are not divine beings that they should go and question only the culprits. How do they know who are the culprits, before investigations? When frisking is done in public places, people subject to it will not be that comfortable. Does that mean checking 'innocent' public should be avoided in public places? This is done for our own interest, and we should co-operate. To avoid Islam being maligned in the name of terorism, Muslims shoud take the initiative to cut terrorism
