The Haneef Saga

Dr.Mohammed Haneef has become a household name in India and Australia now. His experience will haunt the countless number of Muslims living abroad. Haneef said in an interview after his release that the Australian police had asked him if he had been to Pakistan and Afghanistan and whether he had undergone any weapons training? So the point is, if Haneef had been a Pakistani or Afghanistani, he would have been framed in a serious manner than what had now happened, even if he was just an ordinary person living in either of the countries. The point that the Western nations and countries like Australia do not understand is that not all Muslims are Terrorists and not all Terrorists are Muslims.
Well, its no justification that two Muslims only plotted the failed bombing at the Glasgow airport. Nobody has the right to take another's life.
Ok, Haneef is a free man now. But what about the reputation that has been ruined by the Australian authorities? What about the minister saying that he did not like Haneef's character and so is revoking his visa? Mr Minister, it's not a matter of personal likes or dislikes that should decide some issue like this. Ok, while immigration is not a right one can claim, this justification only makes one roll on the floor with laughter and sarcasm. For all one knows, the Minister might have some dislike against most Indians or Muslims.
And this at a time, when Australia is promoting itself as a destination for Indians to go and work!!
Had such a thing happened with the Indian government, the Australians would have branded India as being too high handed or something on those lines.
Finally, the joke is upon you, Australia, the land of Kangaroos.
If it had not been for the human rights activists and the media, Dr Haneef might have been languishing in a god damn cell in an Australian prison, for just one simple reason-being a relative of two misguided men in the name of Islam and Jihad.
While terrorism should not be tolerated at any cost, it must also should be ensured that nobody should be framed.
It is high time for the world to look at curbing terrorism and justice in a better
sensible manner...or else, the world will become a much dangerous place to live in, if these issues are looked at from a religion point of view.
