It may not always be appreciated that terrorism leads to immediate discrimination and alienation of people in a given group of community, but this is always the case and profiling starts in the most basic manner (Tavares, 2004). The national security laws, actions, and policies in response to terror attacks carry some aspects of discrimination through racial, ethnic and/or religious profiling. Actions such as legal decisions to arrest check identification documents, stop and search, gather intelligence information and mine databases from a certain group of people is a sign of discrimination by itself. Profiling involves the practice where law enforcement agencies rely, to any degree, on racial, ethnic, religious, lingual, national origin and

However, the innocent persons in such cases are not without emotions or feelings of discrimination. As the open society assesses its enemies in most cases, it must also be recognized that the group alienated for the investigatory purpose has an ability to assess the enemy (Tavares, 2004). Social groups have strong ties and trespass to some of them may at times mean trespass to the whole community. Profiling in most cases is a threat to the people of a given group. In an attempt to get the terrorism information, human rights are trespassed where the profiled groups of people are subjected to pain and suffering so as they can give the necessary information and reveal the hiding points of their counterparts in crime. The criminal profiled groups through psychological torture and denial by other communities may never feel like part of the larger community (Tavares, 2004). This thus undermines the global diversity of people and also increases the chances of the terrorist sympathizers to get to …show more content…
A community-based study in response to the terror attacks manifests how diversity can be negated by terrorism (Crenshaw, 1981). Individual and community behaviors of unbelief witnessed after the 9/11 attack is used as the main example. At this period, the America was filled with fear and seclusion of various ethnic and religious groups. Any Muslim of the street was perceived as a threat to human life. Any Arab on the streets also posed fear to the other communities in the country. Ethnic groups were observed to gather around their people; different religions would only serve the interest of their own people with Islam seen as a threat to human life (Tavares, 2004). It is non-deniably correct that Islam today is believed to be the greater source of terrorism through the Jihadist with most terror groups being built on ‘Islam believes.’ The counter- terrorism strategies hence tend to be more radical on certain groups of people who are believed or thought to be the cause of terrorism activities in the world (Crenshaw, 1981). The impacts of terrorism to the diversity of the people are thus studied through the reaction to counter-terrorism strategies and in the formation of the terror groups. This may give the reason why some of these groups are formed and the people contained in
