Muslimové žijící v Česku se distancovali od násilných protestů, které vypukly po otištění karikatur proroka Mohameda.

 

To bych jijm taky dobře radila!

By čubrněli, jak bych jim dala slovní nakládačku, ani sto Mohamedů by jim nepomohlo. Maj práci, maj prachy, kterou berou nám, můžeu jedině tak držet hubu a krok. Problém zahraničí, že si neumí udělat s pořádek s tou verbeží. Protože pokud někdo přežene reakce kvůli nějakému Prdamedovi, je u mě debil a jako sdebilem bych s ním taky jednala.

Mr. Arar, a 35-year-old software engineer whose case has been detailed in a pair of columns by Bob Herbert, was detained at Kennedy Airport in 2002 while on his way home from a family vacation. He was held in solitary confinement in a Brooklyn detention center and interrogated without proper access to legal counsel. Finally, he was shipped off to a Syrian prison. There, he was held for 10 months in an underground rat-infested dungeon and brutally tortured because officials suspected that he was a member of Al Qaeda. All this was part of a morally and legally unsupportable United States practice known as "extraordinary rendition," in which the federal government outsources interrogations to regimes known to use torture and lacking fundamental human rights protections.

The maltreatment of Mr. Arar would be reprehensible - and illegal under the United States Constitution and applicable treaties - even had the suspicions of terrorist involvement proven true. But no link to any terrorist organization or activity emerged, which is why the Syrians eventually released him. Mr. Arar then sued for damages.
