I think everyones over reacting here.
Where does she say that. Has anyone taken the time to read what she is quoted on??????
She says
Quote:
"The threat is most likely to come from those people associated with an extreme form of Islam, or who are falsely hiding behind Islam," she told MPs on the home affairs committee.
If a threat is from a particular place then our action is going to be targeted at that area
"It means that some of our counter-terrorism powers will be disproportionately experienced by the Muslim community."

Nowhere does she even mention "stop and search" it is the BBC hyping something up and its lazy journalism, making a story out of nothing. She says "counter terrorism powers" which covers a very wide spectrum. Phone taps, surveilance etc
She is saying the threat is from Muslim extremists therefore their resource will be disproportioninately focused on Muslims - as opposed to Roman Catholics
When the threat of terrorism comes from Extremist Muslims its no use putting phone taps on Bhuddists.
No everybody calm down.

And the Islamic Council of GB and other major islamic bodies are consistent in their condemnation of terrorism. Funny how that fails to grab the headlines though.
