Japan's Supreme Court has upheld the government's blanket surveillance of the country's Muslim community.

The court struck down the second appeal by Japanese Muslim plaintiffs against what they perceive as an unconstitutional invasion of their privacy and freedom of religion.

A 2010 leak of 114 police files revealed nationwide surveillance of Japanese Muslims. The files revealed that Muslim places of worship, halal restaurants and Islam-related organisations across the capital, Tokyo, were being monitored.

You DID know that Islam lets its adherents lie?

The Japanese know who the hell they are, and hold fast to their borders, language and culture.
Kick savages out.

Imagine fighting WW2, when the president announces that only Shinto Priests trained in Japan are qualified to be intel officers.

Everybody else in intel is fired, and charged with Nipponophobia, and their work is purged.

That is today, with the Muslim Brotherhood and Obama.

That reminds me a bit of the Zakim bridge in Boston.

a necessary step as long as enemy population is allowed to remain in your country

better yet: repatriate them to their own countries

then you won’t have to “violate their civil liberties” anymore
and you will be ALL THE SAFER

The Japanese have always been extremely xenophobic. It’s good to see they still are.

They may have low birth rates like the germans but they sure as hell ain’t gonna just import hordes of barbarians to replace themselves with ... Maybe they will figure out cloning...

I think they'll do fine with robotics.

Anyway, I don't understand the hysteria about Japan having low birth rates, like they're going to disappear in the near future. Japan is a small country, with the population clustered in confined habitable areas. They have over 126 million people. Compare this to the large land area of Russia with 143 million, or France with 64 million, or the U.K. with 65 million. Japan is crowded, and could do just fine with fewer people. And their forays into robotics will provide the means to care for an aging population and enrich the economy. They really don't need to import foreigners who will just screw up their nation.
