The Confer- ence expresses its deep concern and agony on the present global and national alarming conditions in which most of the nations are adopting such an attitude [violence and terrorism] against their citizens especially Muslims to appease the tyrant and colonial master of the West [The Superpower], which [appeasement] cannot be justified in any way. It is a matter of greater concern that the in- ternal and external policies of our country [India] are getting heavily influenced by these [Superpower-led] forces. Their aggression, barbarism and state-sponsored terrorism not only in Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan but also in Bosnia and various South American countries have surpassed all the records known to human history. Con- trary to it [violence and terrorism], our great nation has always been known for impartiality and its moral and spiri- tual values. Now the situation has worsened so far that every Indian Muslim especially those associated with madras- as, who are innocent with good record of characters, are always gripped by the fear that they might be trapped by the administrative machinery anytime. And, today countless number of innocent Muslims are spending their lives behind the bars and are forced to bear many intolerable tortures. And, those [CIA-linked sects] spreading terror, attacking police stations, killing the police in broad daylight and showing illegal arms are roaming about freely with no effective and preventive steps being taken by the govern- ment to check their acts of terrorism and violence. This partial attitude has put a big question mark on the secular character of the government [and is] posing great threats to the country. Therefore, this All India Anti-Terrorism Conference strongly condemns this [partial] attitude and expresses its deep concern on this partiality of government officials and declares its continuous joint struggles for domination of law, justice and secular system. ` ` ` THAILAND ` Constitution at center of battle to control Thailand ` http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSBKK8907420080427?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews&sp=true ` "A decorated policeman was shot dead in a Bangkok bar in 2001 after a fracas with the son of a top politician."
