So, under the guise of "preventing terrorism" we now have more justification for institutionalised racism.
Because *some* terrorists are Muslims (or, rather, people of Islamic appearance!!) *all* Muslims must be treated as suspects...!!!
Another great day for liberty and justice in the UK

That's life. If it was rastafarians that flew two jets into the WTC we'd probably be stopping them more often too.

I hate that phrase, it's another phrase that is quoted all too often and all too easy.
It's unlikely that a group of asian teenagers hanging out on street corner will be stopped on anti-terror grounds.
However, 4 asian men acting suspiciously in an airport or near an airport, probably would.
The Islamic Human Rights group shouldn't complain to us about that, they should complain to extremist elements within their communities.
