Sinful liberals and the war against jihadi terror

May 09, 2013 11:40

It has been seven months since the Jamia Teachers' Solidarity Association brought out its report, Framed, Damned, Acquitted, chronicling in detail how the Delhi Police's Special Cell implicated innocents -- former militants, police informers, businessmen, and just ordinary, unlucky men -- as terrorists.

It is one of the few documents that lends evidentiary credence to the widespread sense amongst Muslims that they are being targeted in the war against terror.

Apologists for the police and investigative agencies however do not tire of contesting its conclusions, namely that there is a systemic and systematic bias against minorities when it comes to terror investigations. What bias, they ask. As does our chief National Security 'analyst' Praveen Swami, who has stressed that "liberals are compromising the war against jihadi terror".
