43:32  - 1 year ago
Question of Justice Broadcast 4 May 2008 on Press TV Produced by Islamic Human Rights Commission "Racial and Religious Profiling" Guests: - Charles Shoebridge (Security Analyst) - Liz Fekete (Deputy Director, Institute of Race Relations) - Iqbal Bhana (Home Office Race Incidents Team) Plus an interview with Lord Nazir Ahmed This show looks at religious and racial profiling and asks whether in today's world such policies are still wrong. Racial and religious profiling in the post 9/11 world has been argued by many as a 'necessary evil'. It has ben suggested that to prevent mass terrorism, targeting people who share certain ethnic and/or religious characteristics has to be done. Opponents argue that all the reasons that have led to racial and religious profiling in the past still pertain. You cannot, it is argued, justify suspicion of criminal intent based on a person's ethnic or religious characteristics.
