Indians face racist taunts in Australia
Sunday, July 08, 2007 10:54:26 am
There has been a direct fallout of the arrests of three Indian doctors in connection with UK terror plot. Days after an Indian doctor Haneef Mohammed was arrested in Brisbane, Australia, patients at the Gold Coast Hospital where Haneef used to work, have refused to be treated by several of the Indian trained medical staff.
Another doctor Mohammed Asif Ali, who was a colleague of Haneef, had been detained for questioning and later released. Patients have reportedly refused to be treated by Ali.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, doctors at the Gold Coast Hospital said patients had refused to be treated by the Indian-trained medical staff, accusing them of having some connection to terrorism.
Gold Coast Hospital staff, including medical registrars and residents, released a statement in support Mohammed Asif Ali
"We offer support to any of our colleagues who have been subject to unpleasant treatment on the basis of their ethnic background or beliefs. We deplore any form of racism," the statement read.
Queensland Health Minister Stephen Robertson said only a few of the hospital's staff had been subject to the racist treatment, which he condemned.
"They're pretty bruised. There is a sensitivity among some of those overseas-trained doctors that they may be subject to racism. I'm hoping that won't be the case. It's not the Australian way," said Robertson.
The Australian Doctors Trained Overseas Association estimates there are 20,000 doctors practicing in Australia who earned their original qualifications overseas; about 40 per cent of all doctors in Australia.
Meanwhile, the Australian Federal Police has released all the five Indian doctors in Western Australia and Sydney after they were interrogated about possible links to the foiled bomb attacks in London and Glasgow. No charges have been laid against them or Mohammad Haneef, who is still in police custody in Brisbane.

You read that properly again. All she said was the white people who converted to Islam had executed many foiled plots in the past so why singling out Indian Muslims.
Now you got it?

He also trolls in Chinese Chat from what I've seen. Usually all his posts there are about Indians too lol
Maybe he's upset at Indians after I made him toss my salad
Dr Haneef is a free man now. The charges against him had been dropped. The Aussie police is saying that they have made a mistake.

Haneef was innocent all along, but Australian police ignored evidence
Mon, Apr 14 10:05 AM
Sydney, April 14 (IANS) Indian doctor Muhammad Haneef was innocent all along, according to evidence emerging at the Old Bailey court in London, but the Australian Federal Police and the Commonwealth Director of Prosecutions ignored the evidence to continue his incarceration.
The 28-year-old was charged with recklessly providing support to a terrorist organisation by giving his mobile phone SIM card to his cousin Sabeel Ahmed, one of the men accused in the botched British bomb attacks.
On Friday, in the Old Bailey, Justice Calvert-Smith accepted there was 'no sign' of Sabeel Ahmed 'being an extremist or party to extremist views'. Sabeel did plead guilty to a charge of withholding information about terrorism. He was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment but released over the weekend to be deported to Bangalore.
A source in Britain has told the Sydney Morning Herald that the police in Sabeel's home town of Liverpool had his brother Kafeel Ahmed's jihad confession email text within 72 hours, which showed Sabeel was never part of Kafeel's plans to detonate car bombs in London and Glasgow airports.
It was around this time that the Ahmeds' second cousin Haneef was spending his third day in the Brisbane watchhouse after being arrested at Brisbane airport on July 2, hours before boarding a flight to India.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the Commonwealth Director of Prosecutions (DPP) continued with terrorist charges against Haneef though they knew that Sabeel was not involved in his brother Kafeel's plans. Haneef's legal team were not shown Kafeel's emails.
The bungled terrorism investigation by Australian police into Haneef's case is still costing the taxpayer a whopping Australian $8 million ($7.2 million). There are nine Australian federal police staff working full time on Haneef's case.
Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty and Attorney-General Robert McClelland were recently in Britain for talks with their counterparts on cooperation in security, intelligence and terrorism investigations and the case of former Gold Coast registrar Haneef, who eight months ago returned home to Bangalore.
Former Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews had cancelled his work visa, just hours after a magistrate granted him bail on July 16, 2007, ensuring his continued incarceration. The charges against Haneef were eventually dropped and he returned home last year.
In December 2007, the new Immigration Minister Chris Evans reinstated his visa after the Labour Government came to power.
A judicial inquiry to probe the handling of the failed terrorism case against Haneef is expected to start this month.

sometimes I wonder why there is so much animosity amongst asian countries (India Pakistan , China Taiwan , S.Korea vs north , thailand vs burma) when the TRUE enemies are the colonial powers.
We should never let them get away with the $hit they have done. Australia is a stolen country , their racist redneck prison population must be deported back to where they belong (a prison in England) and handover the country to the rightful owners the Aboriginals.

I don't think he was referring to Indian victims, but to actual Indian terrorists.
