"Let the US first examine its own backyard and see how Muslims in its country have been harassed after the 9/11 terror attack.

The Muslims in the US are under the scanner of intelligence agencies and all kinds of restrictions have been imposed on them," the editorial said.

It said prominent personalities bearing Muslim names are detained and harassed for hours at US airports. Even Indian superstar Shah Rukh Khan and a minister, Azam Khan, were not spared this humiliation.

"Is not the treatment meted out to Muslims at US airports also violative of human rights and an attack on their religious freedom? In such circumstances, the US should not claim responsibility to speak only about the rights of Indian Muslims," it said.

The editorial alleged that the US attacked Afghanistan and Iraq and butchered Muslims there, but it was least concerned about the rights of minorities then.
