Do you really think it is OK to arrest someone before he commited a crime just because he thought about maybe commiting one? Minority Report?
Sorry, but to arrest someone, detain him "for ever" without trial because you just suspect him to be a member of some terrorgroup just isn't. That violates human rights. If he has done something (and AFAIK the membership in a terroristic organisation is "something") bring him up in front of a trial
