While one may wish to empathize with those who feel that they are being unfairly monitored by the State because after all it is their relatives who aligned themselves with ISIS while they remained in Trinidad and Tobago, I think they are being deceptive and in fact very obscene for them to accuse the Government of targeting Muslims.
We in Trinidad and Tobago are not noted for such discriminatory practices and like myself many of us have relatives from all walks of life and can truly say here every creed and race find an equal place although politics seems to be erasing that from us.
I wish to appeal to good common sense and decency and to remember that prevention is always better than cure; and to remember that it is the Government's responsibility to at least try to protect and serve all the people and not just those criminals who just happen to feel violated in some way.
The anti-terrorism act does not target Muslims but terrorists. I am not aware that Muslims hold the monopoly on terrorism.
