Profiling Muslims as terrorists unfair

The demonisation and vilification of Islam has led to the unfair profiling of Muslims as terrorists, placing them under a cloud of suspicion internationally.

The demonisation and vilification of Islam has led to the unfair profiling of Muslims as terrorists, placing them under a cloud of suspicion internationally.

This was said by the National Intelligence Agency, the Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) and the Media Review Network (MRN).

They met in Cape Town on Sunday to "clarify recent statements on terrorism as covered in the media".

The MJC and MRN felt it necessary to outline their concerns about the effects media reports had on Muslims.

The intelligence agency "expressed its regret" at any wrong impression its comments to the media might have created. - Sapa
