> We really have a problem with targeted surveillance of specific communities like visitors of a specific mosque? Or a pub frequented by known nazis?

There's one of a hell of a difference between the right to religious expression and the right to drink in a pub.

The former is protected in many constitutions (USA: First Amendment, Germany: Art. 4 Abs. 2 Grundgesetz, Netherlands: Art. 6 no. 1 Constitution) as well as in Art. 18 of the Declaration of Human Rights, the latter is not.



Well, a lot of people, including you, seem to misunderstand me. I had very specific examples in my head with demonstrated (planned) actions against others or the state. I was even thinking about a very specific nazi pub in Germany. It's not about beliefs or religion for me. I couldn't care less and don't agree with "Generalverdacht" or "Sippenhaft" at all. On the opposite.
