Crimes of color

Are there things you just shouldn't say or do if you're of middle- eastern descent, even if it's legal for whites?

Computer Man to Appear in Court on Terror Charge

By Nick Allen, Crime Correspondent, PA News

A computer programmer has been charged with allegedly collecting information which could be used by Islamic terrorists planning an attack, it emerged tonight.

Mohammed Abdullah Azam, 32, of Elgar Path, Luton, Bedfordshire, has been charged under section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000 following his arrest on Sunday.

He is due to appear at Bow Street Magistrates’ Court in central London tomorrow.

Police sources said Azam was suspected of collecting information of a kind likely to be useful to Islamic fundamentalists committing or preparing an act of terrorism, or had documents or records containing information of that kind.

Three other men – two aged 21 and one aged 23 – who were also arrested under the Terrorism Act on Sunday in Luton, were released today.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said Azam had been charged under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000 in that he collected information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism or had in his possession documents or records containing information of that kind.
Don't click here if you're middle-eastern looking. That link is safe for whites only.

Where would Mr. John Young be today if he were of middle-eastern descent, even if he were born in the U.S.A.?
