    Japanese court legalises profiling and surveillance of Muslims

    Japanese have once again proved their pragmatism and national mettle. Japanese courts dismissed a plea asking the Japanese police to stop profiling Muslims in their country, on grounds of national security and national interests. Is it any wonder that Japanese society could rebuild and rearm into the third most powerful economy in the world in mere three decades of being nuked and defeated in World War II? They have again shown courage and honour by putting their own security and national interest before nonsensical post-modernist political correctness — and have defied the Muslim apologetics.

    Law enforcement mostly ignored the case. One of the few public statements they made came at a United Nations human rights committee hearing on the matter in 2014. An official from the National Police Agency said “details of information-gathering activities to prevent future terrorism could not be disclosed,” but that “police collected information according to the law.” Some have defended the surveillance of Muslims, including Naofumi Miyasaka, a professor at the National Defense Academy of Japan. He describes the data leak as “the biggest failure in the history of Japan’s counter-terrorism” because it would have hurt the ability of law enforcement to gather intelligence on potential threats through “mutual trust and cooperation between police and informants.”

    Compare this to the present-day supposedly nationalistic government of BJP, which has banned various sites which expose Islam and its Jihad and the real side of Muslims from Indian viewers. For example, the Department of Telecommunications has blocked the site islam-watch.org for hurting Muslim feelings — i.e. for exposing Muslim society and Muslims for what they really are on the inside. Indians should learn from the Japanese on what nationalism looks like. What BJP advocates is not nationalism but Baniaism and mercantile sellout of national and Hindu interests under the garb of development. It is high time that BJP stops fooling Hindus around with mere sloganeering and “Jumlebaazi.”
