    • Outraged, Shah Rukh Khan, in his initial statement, said he was detained for his Muslim name and that the detention was for two hours, which later came down to 1.5 hours and, as of latest, ‘just over an hour’, according to Times of India.
    • What struck me most is that, while I was sitting there, I saw quite a few people of non-Muslim backgrounds—indeed, a greater number than Muslims—are being put through the same procedure.
    • Undoubtedly, the whole new situation is created by the 9/11 attacks, and the Islamic extremists’ continued efforts to strike at U.S. interests and institutions, both inside and outside the country. And alongside Muslims, non-Muslims are also made to suffer the consequence for Muslims’ actions.
    • The other day, my sister-in-law called in from London; while conversing, she informed me that she—who follow some form of Buddhism and strictly vegetarian—is preparing for a cultural compatibility test in order to apply for permanent residency. She told me that she is made to study British history, which most Britons don’t know. The same procedure applies to other Western countries, such as Netherlands, Australia etc. One knows well that these tests have been introduced, exclusively because of Muslim immigrants’ refusal to accept—and assimilate in—Western culture and values.
    • It seems that most kaffirs like me have generally accepted them, because they go through the save regulations on a daily basis, but never make much noise about it. So far, all the noise about these new regulations, put in place in the post-9/11 era, have been made by Muslims, despite the fact that, it is they, who force the new regulations to be put in place. We the kaffirs suffer for their sins, and accept it humbly. For Khan, if he really cared, he should—instead of crying foul of suffering discrimination himself—spare some thought for us, the infidels, who are suffering the same for his beloved faith and the actions of his coreligionists.
