Abdul Kalam frisked twice in US

[KS]

Bharat Ratna Dr,Kalam was frisked, huge outccry was there (justifiably) and the airlines apoligised for offending the sentiments of millions of Indians.

End of story.

But is there an "end of story" for bigotry ? I hope it is...

So are you saying the USA doesn't discriminate against only Muslims?

That should be good news? Why the thread then?

If it does, why become a citizen of an Islamophobe country?

No, I'm saying that a nation who's people regard themselves as a superpower/emerging superpower, & think so highly about the US shouldn't have their high level diplomats/officials (regardless of religion) treated like this. You don't see American officials/diplomats treated like this in India, do you?

Even American diplomats get frisked in their own country.

You just have to read reports. This was not India specific.

But it didn't apologize for frisking him, even though it is against Indian law to 'frisk' an ex-president. They were inside India, & should not have been allowed to frisk him. Even if they were allowed to frisk him as per airline policy (overriding the Indian country's policy), they should have clarified in their statement that they had to do so according to airline policy, which overrode national policy. Their statement showed no remorse for what happened, it was a 'cop-out'.

I doubt the ex-US president ever got frisked in their country by an Indian.

A minor issue. No one bothers. Not the man himself.

Nor should you.

 

[Roybot]

Sure, besides Kalam, Sikh & Hindu diplomats & officials have been frisked as well in the US:

Meera Shankar, Indian Ambassador To The U.S., Frisked At Mississippi Airport

Diplomats from every country are frisked, Indians make noise about it cause we find it offensive. Others don't even bother complaining.

I am glad if it remains that way.

If it does, why become a citizen of an Islamophobe country? That too by leaving an Islamic country?

Would that count as "apostacy" or "munafiqat"?

Again, you are reverting to your old habits again. I can't see Kalam anywhere in this post.

If you aren't bothered, why are you still on this thread, answering my every post?

It must hurt bilal to have forsaken his country and swearing allegiance to a foreign one. Even then he gets treated like yesterdays trash. Nowhere to vent his frustration but in a glorified rant forum; i feel a slight amount of pity seeing his plight. After being frisked and abused...despite his status as an american citizen......He hopes to reclaim some of his lost pride by deriding India constantly and by claiming to be loyal to pakistan. I urge all my fellow Indians to see beneath the veil and look at the crying child that is Bilal . Express your sympathies because, having endured so much persecution in the US...he probably deserves it.



Regards,

Repeating the same things like a parrot doesn't add to the thread.

It was a valid question given your responses. You are a cop out by not answering.

What does this have to do with "Abdul Kalam frisked twice in US" thread?

He even claims to be loyal to India sometimes.

Sometimes to even USA.

Never seen him loyal to Iraq though, his original native place.

No, my responses were on point, & in line with the topic of the thread about Dr Kalam. Yours aren't. Which is why they don't warrant a response. Just like posts on apostasy/Blasphemy Law/filt-hy invaders/Pakistan in a "violence against Christians in Karnataka" do not warrant a response.

I too pity him..my sympathies are always with him..i hope he comes out of influence from this retarded religious bigots and become loyal american citizen...surprisingly, some american citizens because of their religious allegiance can find all the faults with theier own country and all other non-"their-religion" countries but not so-called "their" countries..few things we can not really understand being non-believers i guess...
