Holding someone without evidence is. You can't detain someone indefinitely until you find proof of what you think they may have done. That's called abduction. Which is why most places have a set 8 hour hold time before you have to press charges or release them.

I agree they should, but a lot of propaganda went into making them out to be only acting in self defense. And decades of anti-middle eastern populous' propoganda made that easy to do.

It's nice that some groups are slowly realizing, but it's also likely far to little, way to late. Hopefully many of them will be saved though
