<b>In view of the recent happenings in the United Kingdom, it is not only the Muslim citizens of the United Kingdom but Muslim citizens of other countries are expected to face trouble particualrly in travelling by air. We in India recently, had the test of the things to come . Several Indian citizens travelling from the US to India via Amesterdam were arrested and subjected to utter humiliation simply because they were Muslims.
