Title: muslims who live in Japan are spied upon by the government as terrorist suspects

This time last month, Mourad Bendjaballah says he was just another anonymous foreigner living and working in Japan. Today he fears his life here may be over, and receives phone calls from reporters asking him if he is an al-Qaida "terrorist."

"I've no idea why they have picked on me," says the Algerian, who has lived and worked in Japan for over 20 years and is married to a Japanese national. "My wife and I are still struggling to believe it."

Bendjaballah's name was one of several released in extraordinary leaked documents from a counterterrorism unit of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Bureau. Listed as "terrorist suspects," the men are Muslims who live and work here, in many cases for decades.

The documents, which have been obtained by The Japan Times, contain vast amounts of personal information, including birthplaces, home and work addresses, names and birthdays of spouses, children and associates, personal histories and immigration records. Even the names of local mosques visited by the "suspects" are included.

Needless to say, the Japanese are ahead of us in yet another thing!

and it barely makes the news in Japan, because it's perceived as a matter of course that they be spied upon as suspects!

Sounds like Japan has more common sense than everyone else.

I never thought Japan would be that excellent.

Didn't Japan see King Obama's memo about how we should bend over for the muslims?
They should be thrown out at the least.
I like China and N Korea's method, suspects simply disappear. But their organs appear inside cancer patients world-wide.

The Japanese don't have white guilt like we do in the west.

At least the Japanese are half-sane. Unlike Americans and Israelis.

I've read some pretty attractive policies regarding Muslims in China as well.  Such as "Individual pilgrimage is prohibited"-signs posted over mosques.
