Classic Islamo-apologist reply, seems like this is a standard defence for you guys as I have seen this defence in many other websites too by islamists.
Just because more people die of car accidents does not mean that it is OK to shout allah-who-cakebar and blow yourselves up. ANd neither does that mean that stringent laws cannot be made to tackle the above kind of loonies.
Since you, like many of the Indian posters here, lack the most basic knowledge of what constitutes a liberal society, you will not understand the importance of keeping government powers in check.
The response to any threat must be commensurate. We can reduce car accident injuries if we require every car to be padded with mattresses, but that would not be practical. Similarly, we can prevent ladder deaths by banning ladders, but that is also ridiculous.
The assault on personal freedoms, including surveillance, is an erosion of individual rights. Such an erosion must be justified by a commensurate threat.
You may gloat, thinking these powers will only affect Muslims, whom you despise, but they _WILL_ be used against anyone and everyone that the bureaucrats want to. Many of the existing anti-terror laws have been abused against journalists.
Again, as an Indian driven more by bigotry than knowledge, I don't expect you guys to acknowledge any of this.
Muslims brought this upon themselves.
Silence of the liberal muslims against these extremist terrorist faggots is the sole reason.
If liberal muslims will not raise there voice then one will believe that all of the muslims are extremists.
No muslim raise his damn voice when minorities are persecuted by extremists muslims in thousands.
So why they expect us to raise our voice when they are persecuted by some state sponsored draconian law??
Reality is not obligated to conform to your ignorance of facts.
Which is not to say that you will abandon your ignorance any time soon and embrace reality.
