Not at all, but if we become, in our own way, as bad as the minority which do pose a risk we may as well give up now and join them. Miscarriages of justice aren`t going to prevent terrorist attacks, and as scary as it is to agree with a Tory, only risk turning moderate Muslims against the "West", thus being counterproductive.
As I pointed out in the earlier post, the real increase in the risk level is actually very small, therefore the response of the authorities must be equal to that. The current situation is a sledgehammer/nut response. Even a proportionate response runs the risk of resulting in a miscarriage of justice, I cannot see that possibility ever going away, but the widesweeping measures in place now will only increase that risk many times over.
