I think this is possibly one of the most obscene ideas I have ever heard. You say that if a mulsim was not wearing the wristband it would not mean they were supporting the terrorists. Yeah right.
What people don't understand is that just because you are asian does not mean you are muslim. There are many countries in 'Asia' and many religions and cultures. So any young asian male with a rucksack would be a legitimate target for abuse, as they were a target on Thursday for police suspicions.
What would happen if the bombers had been Christian fundamentalists, of which there are many in the world. Would Christians have to wear wristbands? And what would happen if they didn't?
Don't get me wrong, I understand you are only trying to help raise money, but this has to be one of the worst thought through ideas I have ever come across. Really.
