Today there was some communal tension in bangalore and as i could c a video footage of a tv news channel showing police men beat up innocent muslims who are passing who are just normal commuters. six to eight police men beat up one guy, there was a footage where in a muslim on bike is beaten up with sticks and a rifle base. Is this humanity. If we are treated so cruely then surely there would be lot of people who would tend to become bin ladens. Even animals are not beaten so cruely.
