No doubt this campaign is being funded by the British taxpayer, and that all the Muslim organizations involved, and they are legion, are goverment funded, ie paid for by the British taxpayer. Forgive my cynisism but all this smacks of self preservation to me.

"Whoever kills an innocent soul, it is as if he killed the whole of mankind. And whoever saves one, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind."
THE QUESTION IS, WHO IS AN "INNOCENT SOUL"?
Amin Aswet, Gibraltar,
""Sabeel Ahmed, 26, and Kafeel Ahmed, 27, who are brothers, had applied for work but were rejected over reference concerns"". That not only speaks but shouts volumes! If they were rejected by the Australian Medical Association because their qualifications and references did not meet the standard required then how on earth did they gain employment in our NHS in Britain? Does it mean that we have lower standards in our NHS system or is it simply that the NHS and the Home Office do not check on background, experience and professional qualifications? And if we have lower standards in the NHS then is it not time that those standards were raised?
Kenneth Armitage, Suffolk, England
What an absurd claim.
These weren't 'Indian' doctors.
These were MUSLIM doctors who, unfortunately for India, happened to be born in India.
There are thousands upon thousands of Indian doctors who stick to their oath.
Please call these people what they really are - MUSLIM DOCTORS.

"Today's raids come five days after Mohammad Haneef, an Indian-born doctor ..All the doctors questioned today were migrant doctors of a similar background to those questioned in the UK.."
So the problem seems with Indian born peole. You are slandering innosent Hindu community in order to protect people with Muslim bakground. Shame on you.

Sounds a little bit like persecution... Definitely want to be safe, but isn't it a little bit excessive to question all doctors of the same background??? I thought we had moved on from this sort of ignorance
