In today's global world, Western democracies do, indeed, need domestic surveillance and increased funding for survival. The radical Islamists, who do not represent the Muslim faith, are waging a Jihad against all western democracies and they don't differentiate between military and civilian humanoids or strategic targets. We need increased domestic surveillance to attack planned attacks before they're operationalized. Britain, a long-standing democracy, funds MI-5 and MI-6, which both conduct domestic sureillance. We need an MI-5 model in the U.S., for our own sake. I talked to Nigel West, an authority on intelligence in Britain, and he said it won't happen because if you merely place too many security cameras around our freeways and downtown areas, Americans will all become card-carrying members of the ACLU. I understand the historical reasons for our fear of "Big Brother", but one radioactive WMD blown up in downtown Manhattan is likely to happen without it. It's becoming a very dangerous world for western democracies, and the terrorists to fear are radical Islamists...NOT MUSLIMS! The incredible damage a small cell can do to the U.S. heartland or NYC is unimaginable in this asymetric warfare we're in. Intelligence-gathering is critical to protect America. An example of what we're up against, the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) is, as we speak, attempting to gather all the intel it can on Russia's new Club-K system, which hasn't appeared
Now SRK will make a film on his Paki brother. How this Paki has been victimised and that he has nothing to do with this plot. SRK has got the story for his next film.
Do the Americans realize that their policies vis-a-vis foreigners esp Asians are faulty. It wasn't so long ago that Indians scientists were refused visa. So was a cultural trope from Maharashtra. The idioticy reached its peak when Dr. Prakash Amte - a Magsaysay award winning social worker - was refused visa because his income is only 3000 Rs a month. I have been told that being poor is synonymous with being a criminal in the US. Trying to gauge Asians by American values / thinking has always been the bane of US foreign policy. The need for a sensible foreign / visa issuance policy can't be overemphasized. Those who understand human beings, their values, thinking are the need of the hour. Technology and money are certainly helpful in tracking down terrorists, but prevention is always better than cure.
This coward Shahzad is from educated family son of a Air Chief of Porkistani Air Force. So education does not help . He is a Masters Degree holder so education is not a solution. Islam is a real key to make terror.USA has given this coward son of a pig every thing but he did all against USA. This is Islamic teaching.It prevails all above money & Education & Family values.Indians to learn this lesson.

Whatever his education qualifications are and whatever his social status is, still he has read Curan. It is because of that he became a terrorist.

Right. You become like the God you worship.. says a verse from the Bible. If you read thrash and violent nonsense from some book written by an illiterate, you will most likely be highly influenced by it throughout your life. So, do read, but evaluate its worthiness to peace & mankind.
I think Islam is proving to be a threat to mankind. I think people belonging to all religeons should come together to fight against this menace and eliminate it from the global scenario. The time has come that people belonging to christianity,hinduism,Judaism,buddhist,sikhs,comunists and even athiests should come together and wipe out islam for world peace and progress.
