If you remove the links from the parent's comment, the main point is valid: "In a country where genocide and sectarian violence are a regular occurrence, I am sure that a detailed database of religious affiliation, biometrics, photographs, and addresses won't be misused."

This point applies without regard as to who is responsible for the violent acts. There are large scale acts of violence (which is horrid) and a database such as this can/may be used to facilitate future acts of violence.
