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 not necessary for her to *explicitly* mention it, it is *implicit* in what she says.

She says "counter terrorism powers" which covers a very wide spectrum. Phone taps, surveilance etc

Yes, but then, as you go on to say...

She is saying the threat is from Muslim extremists therefore their resource will be disproportioninately focused on Muslims

You see, it's this word "disproportionately" that gives problems.
If the response was *proportionate* to the threat, I wouldn't necessarily object so greatly, but she's *not* talking about it being "proportionate".
She's talking about treating an entire *religion* as suspects.

When the threat of terrorism comes from Extremist Muslims its no use putting phone taps on Bhuddists.
|
It is no use alienating an entire culture and religion when you should be trying to get them *on* your side.

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.

Two words "Lip - Service"

Oh, that's *priceless* Pierre!!
You're asking everyone to calm down then you say something grossly offensive and inflammatory to the entire Islamic religion saying that *all* of their condemnations of terrorist are nothing but "lip service" and implying that, secretly they're actually approving of these actions and want them to succeed.
