But there is no more bias given to favour the rights of the minorities, over the majorities.

Is that so Flyboy?
So tell me, do you not think that problems can arise when one group is perceived, rightly or wrongly, to be favoured over another?
I will give you two scenarios, then you tell me whether you feel action should be taken in both cases, not just one.
Muslim protestors are exercising their freedom of speech by standing on a public highway holding blood thirsty placards calling for the death of our troops.
No muslims are arrested in the above.
Is that right?
Second scenario, three people are involved in a heated debate about religion in a hotel with its doors firmly shut.
The christian couple are arrested defending their faith.
Is that right? if so tell me the difference between the two scenarios, and why the latter requires more attention by our police?
