We should all know about the freedom of movement restrictions in the form of “airport security” and the “no fly list.” The “counter-terrorism” regime has been aimed at anti-war activists, authors, journalists, as well as people who “look Muslim.”

And – to speak of “waste of resources?” When we take a look at how much time and resources Western nations focus “Islamist and jihadists” in comparison to actual terrorist threat – we see these wasted resources.

We should understand that what are defined as a “terrorist threat” are politically determined. This means that the actual security threats are ignored (from the radical right) for politically correct “threats” – from “Islamists and jihadists.”

We also need to get away from political correctness in human rights activism. Human rights advocacy should be aimed at protecting all, as human rights are for everyone, not just politically correct groups. Human rights should also NOT be used as a whipping post for countries like Russia, as well as Iran and China. The is a need for human rights activism in the Western world!!
