Docs arrested

I was shocked to see the Indian Muslim doctors named as being involved in the terrorist conspiracy in Britain.

One doctor has been arrested in Australia as well.

At least 4 more doctors are being questioned in Australia, though they might be innocent.

I just fail to understand how firstly, doctors, who have taken an oath to cure disease and help other humans overcome ailments, can actually conceive and execute such a heinous plot to kill other human beings.

From all appearances, these doctors seemed to be young, educated, fairly well to do.

What made them get involved in something like this ??

I don’t have the answers and one would really have to interrogate these people and dissect their lives to understand where the hatred comes from.

This is probably the first time we are seeing Indian nationals being named in the terror networks. Its going to smear the entire community overseas with the paint of suspicion. One of the doctors questioned has since been declared innocent, but he has gone into hiding because of unwanted media attention.

Just like the Sikhs were targeted after the attack on Mrs. Gandhi - even though the terrorists represented a very small minority bad apples of the Sikh community - I think incidents like these involving educated Indian muslims, is going to tarnish the whole community of Indian Muslims as well as Indian non Muslims living and earning an honest living overseas. Would you now befriend a Muslim, because it is something nightmarish to see a well educated doctor being part of something like this.

Having said that, I do have at least a couple of Muslim friends, and I know how wrong that sentiment is - these people are just the same like us and trying their best to live a decent life.

The whole incident has really left me distressed and wondering what is going on in this world. Where are we heading towards when as a British cleric reported the message he got that “…those who cure you will kill you ….” ??
